In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

yeah its cause i build it as a full cube i think what i might do is delete some of the unshown faces hopefully it will make it a bit less messy

what young means is that you want to evenly spread out the mesh as best as possible. ...u want it to look like a grid as best as possible.....if you look at my thread with me and acid, look at our hood...u will see the mesh is balanced...with yours you have too many edges in one area and too little in others and its not spread evenly..

try and keep the poly flow as even and straight as possible from the start of the front to the back of the car
and its easier to tweek the car when you have very few poly's

with my project i made the mistake of ignoring those small bumps when i started out and now its giving me hell trying to fix them
