[shyy]

SWeet!
can you tell me what car? pm if you want :p

[NitroLiq]

Probably an old gremlin or pacer...we haven't decided, yet. :D

[shyy]

Oo i was hoping something modern because i want to model everything thats modern :p audi, dodge viper etc..
what is a old gremlin or pacer :?

[NitroLiq]

I was just joking...gremlins and pacers are a couple of old crappy cars from the 70's...if you ever saw "Wayne's World," the gremlin is Garth's car...the one that everyone was banging their head in listening to Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody." Kinda like a Ford Pinto.

[ransick]

OK this is good news... Im also desperadly waiting for the cartut!! probably we'll have to wait an other 6 months right! ;)
and oh....shyy.... did you recieve the pm ? send it on to me if you did.. :P Im kinda querious too!! :D (I would say something like..diablo or hummer...ghehe)

[shyy]

be nmice if a hummer, but i want model someting like a dodge viper :p

[MayaStudent]

I Second modeling something like a dodge viper, something with curves, maybe a BMW M3

[ransick]

so a... an diablo is out of the question ?? :P

[shyy]

actually i have wanted to model a bmw m3, bmw would be awesome.

[doodle]

I say a Aston Marton Vanquish or the green Jag from the last Bond film.

[lonepig]

Robin Reliant, please :P

[ransick]

ok ok ok.... so we all do have a favourite, right!?
let's just say that we find a car that has organic and straight lines...so with that...after finishing the sm_car_tut we would be able to model every single car on the planet including cars in our imagination... right ?!

So why botter...
...The only thing Im consurned with is WHEN the tut will come... Im as desperate looking forward to the cartut as YOU'LL ghehe

...and oh...(of the record)...The DoDge Viper looks fine to me too! :D

[Bingbiggen]

My votes for the gremlin!

[Kevin]

please guys be a little more patient, I know the car should have been out ages ago... but we have had so much work to do that there simply wasnt time.

The apache tutorial has been a massive project, and one we picked over the car as theres cars everywhere!

But a car will come :)

[BabyDuck]

oh i am patient kevin. but i have a suggestion: what about a regular car normal ppl can afford? like a grand am gt - that is a nice affordable car. :)

[MayaStudent]

I'd love to model my car but there is no blueprints for it

2003 Mazdaspeed Protege, some of you may or may not know of it, only 250 were made in canada. (Mines Highly modified of course ;)

[ransick]

throw us a pic!

[tariqrf]

car tutorials are i think onez that catch most of the attention... although it is one of the few compact projects that covers almost everything of maya... lighting, texturing, modelling, polygons, nurbs, blah blah.. i cant wait for it tho... would not mind giving it a look

it didnt work as you are linking to your desktop!

LOL but nice car all the same mate :)

[mtmckinley]

you guys do know that you can use the same techniques found in the apache to do the car, right? Just a matter of modeling something else. :)

[ransick]

that car rocks man! I think mr.mckinley is right.... Im really qurieus for it...
