Second Model Ever (car)
 

This is my second model that I ever tried to make in maya.
I am modeling a subaru imprezza WRX rally car using NURBS.
Heres what I got after the first couple of minutes

Hey, matt. Just a suggestion, but if you dont like the waterprint on the renders, then why not use the ALT=>Print SCR and then paste while looking at maya interface. Just a suggestion, but also great work on only your SECOND model.

And please crop the images.

THanks yall!
Problem is, that the waterprint crap shows up in shaded and textured modes too...
Bleagh!
Hey some background info on me:
im only bout 13-14.
Would getting the full version of maya 6.5 be worth it for me? Its no career thing.. duh...
i am considering a career in animation and CAD for the future but for now...
Im just a hobbyist.
(but in case u know, im not a nerd, i play almost all of the sports my school offers and am good at them and odnt wear glasses or go *SNORT*) j/k lol
but, seriously, should I consider getting Maya 6.5 full v?
Thanks for C&C.
Ill keep yall posted

Hey matt, why dont you except emails?

Bcuz i dont have an adress that works now...
sorry...

Hey, I was distracted by something but was inspired to do this. Heres a render of it finished. C&C for a noob render please.

Lol, I can't keep my mind on one project, sorry, heres what my wandering mind produced out of nothing

Heres an update on my car

Another Update

Last post of tonight

WOW, you just keep spitting out stuff left and right. Shows how much you work. I kinda liked the extra stuff, looking at a humorous and progress point of view (otherwise the first one made me want to throw-up). But just let me know when you have your e-mail up and running, ok?

Alright.
Ill tell you, and I should be able to get it up and running this weekend and i'll PM it to you. I don't like to publicly post anything as personal as that.
I prolly won't work AS much today, but youll be shown my progreses... as I progress. lol
Anyway, if I have a short thingy to post in between i will, but I will TRY to stick with the car as long as i can.

Also to all of ya'll (im southern), i have no clue why you don't like NURBS. That is the only way to go for inorgranic modeling. Like a car. I have no clue how you do it wth polys except patchmodeling and that crap is HARD!!!!!! Anyways, i think that we should keep NURBS going because if most ppl stop using it then in like maya 8 or 9 somewhere in 5-10 years there will be no more nurbs modeling. Then again, i bet in maya 9 you will have little things that go into your brain and whatever you imagine will come up on the screen (shhh dont tell anybody), but still you should help keep up NURBS modeling or at least surface modeling.... its the only way i can do stuff... and should b the only way you can do stuff too!

Heres the first update on my car of this morning
C&C for so far please

Another interference
(i erased some of watermark, but not all of it so it is still legal. i dont want any trouble with the law.)

WOW, that blue ring looks amazing, not really confusing but I think it looks awsome.

hehe thanks
Its a scene in my movie that me and a friend are doing, mostly my friend but i knewsome interesting particle dynamics taht could make an expanding ring of fire or in this case lightup blue crap. Its a free tutorial here, you should try it out. Anyways, thatnks. Heres an update on car.

Oh, also, i remembered something you said:

"the first one made me want to throw-up"

yeah, lol, if i did it right that was what it was supposed to do.
Hey, I swear if you people reading this thread dont say anything i will... I will... I will cut you so bad... you wished I didn't cut you!
joking, but i would like more comments... it feels like im talking to myself.
I do enough of that in my head already...:P joking

,Matt

what the crap????

Hehe, if it did that then I did a good job cuz that was what i wanted it to do

---edit---
C&C dammit! I know that alienscience isn't the only one out there!!!

Hi,
It looks like your building the car using nurbs which for your second model ever could be a bit of a handful.
IMO you should learn to make things in polys
Also it looks like your trying to put to much detail into the car to early
In my experience I prefer to model the car using polys all as one piece so that includes the windows and everything as a shell of the car once I am happy with the basic shape I extract the different parts and then add more detail in afterwards.

Just my honest Comments

Rob

A little desperate for C&C are we? hehe
I think the car modeling looks quite good, especially as you just started with maya. Although I do agree with Rob here about the basic shape and working in polys.
Like this I think it'll be also very hard to render properly because of all the different surfaces and if one doesn't close up on another it won't look so good.
Keep it up, would like to see some progress.

Thank you for the c&c. i guess after this i will try to model something with polys with... patch modeling... but there is yall goin at it against NURBS. its not a andful, ill tell you that, but the rest is prolly true...
Thanks anyways :)

First Update of the MOrning

Not gonna work on that for a day or two, just got mouth/gum surgery and i cant talk and my mouth feels like its gonna fall off. Cant concentrate on maya rite now. Sorry..
