cool! You said your using Maya? is that anything like Rhinocerus? A friend of mine is pretty good with that little program. He is learning all sorts of 3D modelling stuff down at the San Fran art Institute.

Yeah its similar to Rhinocerus, but more emphasis on mid production, from beginning the modelling, advanced model texturing, and main focus on animation.
My understanding is they used variations and modifications in Maya to make movies like Toy Story and Monsters Inc.

Yeah id like to do a stock FD. if i can find some good side profile, top profile, and front profile of the same car i could do it.
These were the only blueprints i could find for it. I think its got the feed front bumper or something. I donno. But i just wanna learn how to model these car things :-)

No it's not Turbo'd
What are you modeling this in nurbs or sub-d or Poly's ?? Also the seam of the front bumper is small and at the top of the wheel well, it wraps around to the side...
The compound curves of the FD, that make it so "Sexy" are difficult if not impossible to jusge from perspective views, you almost need a scan, or a couple of measured camera offsets and lens mesurements of some perspective views to get them perfect... It's a task I've attempted a couple of times... but ran out of time / patience for it...

Here's kind of what I meant... the pieces need to be fashioned like the body panels since they're going to refelct light at the seams... it won't look right if you make it one huge piece, and cut out the doors and windows...

Thats looking really sweet man. I can appreciate all the work that goes into something like that, I just recently finished making a CAD model of a rotor, so I know it can be very very time consuming. Nice work.
You can check out my thread on the rotor if you want. https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...ight=CAD+rotor
