Modeling the Almera N16
« on: January 25, 2010, 01:14:38 PM »
Because I havent seen anywhere the Almera on 3D model, I started slowly to draw her. In some casses, drawing on rhino is a bit difficult and slowly, but still is the program that I can draw. Here some viewports and pictures of the car
pictures



and the progress is attached

Who can tell me which is the best way how to place the blueprint? Using planes or boxes? Or something else?

Create a plane roughly the same size as you blueprint.

In matiral editor open your pic and assign it to the plane.

Use the scale tool to correct the proportions.
Left click in the top of the view port (over the left, front or top text) and change to smooth / highlights.

You the clone tool to make copies and rotate and move them until you have all the planes covered. Left click on each one and select freeze and un check show frozen in grey.

Start to model.

I made the planes in 3ds max but I stuck on the mapping, so Rhino was in great help :funny. Here are the planes.
Edit: on the viewports everything is grey ;(

Curved bodies n three dimensions like that are going to be difficult with or without an extrude tool. But you have the orthographic projections set up nicely and seem to be coping well.

To extrude an edge, first select the edge you want press and hold shift and drag the new edge out.

The symmetry isnt working properly. I cant move the copied part, because its mirroring it so close :'(
