Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Yeap maya has a soft modification tool that did the job for me. Here is the trunk . The seam in the middle is because I didnt weld the two halves together. Going to hit the bed my eyes hurt user added image

Comments are welcome as always.

After looking at that image do you all think i need to give the vents a bit more arc?

Hello everyone,
Time for another update. Did the bumpers and side trim. Still need the Ghia Emblem, logo on the engine hood, and windshield. Then I need to weld both halfs together and tweak the mesh some more. Wish maya had symmetry tool. Anyways C&C are welcome.

Also here is a paint test. Tell me what you think of the color. Thanks

Very orange,

I would go for a red body with black or cream roof myself, personal preference though.

The model looks good so far but there is a bit of rippling in the rear fender (see image).

Take it easy,

Mat.

Not much time today but managed to fix a few mesh errors and get this logo done. Tell me what you think of it. Thanks

Here is another shot of the logo on the car and a wire.

The logo took me about 20min or so I did the curves in Illustrator then just imported into maya and did a beveled plus on them. Then I just did cuts on the front face to make all quads with one or two tris. Other then that was extremely easy. I was surprised myself at how easy it was. Thanks for the comments everyone. More updates to come.

Oi VE!! I like it a lot!!! Very cool color for it! I think a little differently than happymat. I think that either the pure orange, or a black body with a cream colored roof with the red interior. Very nice modelling and text! KUTAW!!!

Expect to excell...
