smoothing errors

and consider getting some new blueprints?

ya if you want some good blueprint links pm me and i will send em to you

www.onnovanbraam.com
www.suurland.com

Yes better blueprints, something with a grid perhaps.

*me looks at www.onnovanbraam.com and screams "Thank you!"

i didnt know about that site yet, thx BC

those are my 2 favorite, but they still dont have some cars I want

unfortunately >:*(
same here, they dontr have ANY GM CARS!

suurland is way better and way bigger pics, so when you model your cars are not too small!

spector, it doesn't matter the size of your car, becuase you can easily resize them....

WOW GET BACK ON TOPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NICE!!

are you using mesh smooth or just smooth looks like just smooth to me, and if you edges to look more square just add more lines near the edges.

Bully! I coulden't have done better myself (not if I tryed really, really hard)

hey,
operativex this might help a bit, but usually its better to work on one sec and then reference it so that whatever you do to one side happens to the other, its very helpful if you want me to explain howto do it just ask, for now the model is coming along nicely, how are you making it?

looks good, lots of glitches though (as you said though its a WIP) but heres some constructive criticism.. (f you havent spotted it allready

-bonnet is too low, needsto be higher
-lots of normals problems, (bits with gradient shadows on flat surfaces = wrong) look at the verticies, they may not be welded
-windscreen is too rounded,

just a point, dont use meshsmooth on the model unless you have prepared, (to understand how meshmooth works look HERE, that site explains it well) to properly iron out smoothing glitches, make the material faceted, it makes it easier to spot the problems.. then switch it off when rendering etc... to ensure a perfect curve in long chains of verticies, (for example a bonnet) make the vertex behind that slighly higher than the last and the one behind that, slightly higher than the last one, use that principle on continous acute curves (works on all curves really, as long as you understand whet i mean) it makes for spot on normals

dont forget tou use reference images to death (as blueprints only are really there to give you ideas of angles proportions and curves). good resource site: HERE
