Hey, I have been new to maya for about a week now and I decided after fiddling around for some time to just challenge myself to the extreme. You learn best when challenged so I started a 69 Mustang so far I have learned alot with just doing the tires and I am starting on the body.

Here are the tires, sorry they are dark but I just (kinda) figured out mental ray. I used the tutorial at: https://www.animagraph.com.br/DeathBr...e_tutorial.htm for the tread.

Worked on it some more and cut out the windows, also fixed some problems I was having with the front image plane. I still have alot that I need to do before I say I'm done with the modeling.

Another update I formed the basic shape of the back of the car and did some more tweaking right now it is around 1000 polys without being smoothed or anything, but I want this to be photo realistic (I wish) but we'll see what happens. (and the rear window on the left side where it gets flat I fixed)

if you whant realistik look you must smooth it, you can just do smooth proxy to see how it will lok and than undo it and work on parts of car that are dismatch!!

The car is looking good, and as ransick and ankalagon said dont worry about the polycount, unless ur making models for a game.

BTW thats a cool site ankalagon, its a shame I dont understand any of it user added image

Ya I don't care how many polys there are right now, just suprised how much detail I am getting with 1000 polys and it isn't smoothed yet, I think I will convert to sub-d instead of smooth though but I am not sure what is better.

well I know that when your busy with modeling you will find it easy to convert to subD and tweek a little there... from what I've heared...the smooth (not SubD) is better! but in that mode you'll not to be able to tweek or model further...

what I do when im modelling in polys...I just convert back and forth from poly to subd.... and sometimes when I want to see how it looks I just smooth it and go a couple of steps back to the polymode... You don't want to go to smooth and than delete the history!! but you'll need to verify this by a more advanced artist user added image

well keep it going user added image
