getting started: modelling cars
im quite a noob when it comes to maya but we have all got to start somewhere right?!? for my first project i intend to model an audi tt and i have read several different tutorials on how to model it. I am aware that it is down to preferance the way in which you model, so i was wondering what is your preffered method when it comes to modelling a car???
thanks for your time!

but for a car i prefer to work with Nurbs - mainly using a series of curves and working from there, that way you have the freedom of working with all the nurbs tools to create a really sharp model.
