one short question if anyone knows, i am modelling this in polys and turning into Sub-D but when i want to seperate polygons from from others such as the door it wont let me. it says that it is all part of one piece. anyone know how to change it or what is wrong?

You first have to select the faces you want to separate and choose Extract and then choose the entire thing and use Separate.

Model looks good btw

cool car! looks kinda futurastic too, actually...but that may be the bubble top

yeah, nice car. hopefully the glass will turn out a little better but other than that, Im looking forward to seeing this model done.

thank you for all the coments

still having problem with the seperating. pursuiter where do you go to extract? beore separating. sorry im not that used to maya yet

oh well other than that ive continued on the car and made the basic shape of the wheel.

Extract is under the "Edit Polygons"-menu, close to the bottom. Just follow my steps after that and you'll be fine.

thanks Pursuiter

that worked perfectly, much better now for the modelling, especially for the door. benn working on it a little bit more and will soon put updates

Cool car!

that is a really cool little car
it'd be great to see it driving around in an animation, maybe with a little cute driver inside.
