I AM TIRED OF THESE MUTHABLEEPIN SNAKES ON THIS MUTHABLEEIN PLANE!!!

update, finished the trunkamajigger for now and took a crack at the text

and the door, just realized i still need to do the window housing


really not looking forward to re-doing the headlight but im on that now...

i cant figure out how to model these headlight casings for the bloody life of me... anyone got any ideas?

try using a poly plane beginning at the lower right corner (looking at it from the front) and extrude edges along the outline of the base of the light housing. after you have the basic curvature start extruding edges up and scaling in to match the vertical curve of the lights. you will most definitely need to rearrange vertices to more closely match the topology of the light housing. but this is a good method for this particular object. good luck.

i'm still havin major trouble with the headlight so i did the mirror and worked on the rear bumper

really like this acid your meshes are really clean cant wait to see you finish this

ROFL, hey I just watched that movie yesterday (late I know, but I like bad movies and I just got around to it so sue me lol) that line had me freakin' choking on my Nerds. It was terrible but it was entertaining.

Anyways, the modeling is looking good. And about the headlight casing (I'm not car modeler like you guys :x but tools are tools) if you're doing it from scratch and not snipping it off the immediate geo, then I think re-using a low res lattice would work and it'll help you avoid getting lumps.

lol, i've never even seen that movie i just know the line from a song called snakes on a plane that was made by cobra starship based on the movie :p im addicted to the line though :D

finally got around to trying to do the headlight... i don't really know how i did it, i know it isnt perfect though... don't ask for a wire cause i have no idea how it manages to fall together the way it does... confusing....

anyways the pic

i want some in depth c&c and some ideas as to what to do next... so im gonna just post the scene itself so you can peek around a bit...

images here !!!!!!!!!!!click!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT: btw its a maya 2008 file

Pics look great! you should post an .ma though since not everyone is using the same version of Maya that you are.
Me for example(8.5), or don't I?

Brilliant. Utterly Mesmerizing Perfection

Decode it ^

LMAO, learn to keep things a secret you bastard!

bump... couldnt help it, i wants me some feedback, im an attention whore who relies on these things :D

Soo I went in there and putz around and since there was all this talk about headlights, thats the first thing I checked :x and it wasn't sitting right so I used a lattice to match it up:ninja:
