monkey.wesley's first project! cadillac xlr cabrio

[monkey.wesley]

hi all!

it is finally time that i started to model a car.

i'm beginning to do a cadillac xlr cabrio. i have this up at nfscars as well. so ignore the modelling right now, as i will need to start again and extrude earlier. but give me some good tips to model well.

[monkey.wesley]

ugh... here it is again!

[HiFi]

nothing really to see.

[ToyotaWish]

Oh! This one! Could you make a coupe version too?

[monkey.wesley]

@HiFi: nothing really to see eh? well according to both my computers they work fine even after restarting.

@ToyotaWish: sure! i'll just need to do a little improvising to make a hardtop. but first... i need to know how to extrude vertices to make a 3d model. hmph. trust me... i'm probably the noobiest modeler you'll see around.

also... if you guys suggest any tutorials to use or just some suggestions for me throughout my modelling... please do ^^.

wesley.

[ToyotaWish]

yay!

[Roadstar]

nothing really to see.

@HiFi: nothing really to see eh? well according to all our computers they work fine.

Nice work wesley. It looks good. Only if you would have supplied 3d image

[HiFi]

What the hell are you people talking about?
He showed us an image of the blueprints in zmodeler.
How are we supposed to help him?

[monkey.wesley]

@HiFi: first of all, you better watch what you say... this is my FIRST project. alright? as i said before... i can't even extrude the vertices properly! maybe you could help me with that. but i don't want any chat-fighting going in this topic so please cooperate.

@stylizer: lol. the 3d image is the thing i'm struggling on... as said before... either i'm really noob or i just can't seem to get a good 3d shape! i really hate to ask you pro modelers to help me out since i'm probably asking questions you have probably answered over and over again.

btw... i may not be modelling for the next week or so since i have music festival (piano competitions) and projects as well. but feel free to give me some modelling advice or recommend some tutorials ^_^

[Power^Steer|nG]

well well well... i appreciate you presence here and it will be a good addition to thios community... you will see many people here making hard comments..even I, but never ever get embarrased by such things, such guys are not bad but they have to be hard sometime and polite sometime... and such guys are really helpful during your projects.... i still remember that my first car was nothing but a mess of polies ..hehe...

I see that you are needing a tutorial about modeling....
please go to
http://freakforspeed.sitesled.com and see the Zmodeler Tutorial there... moreover you will also find tutorials guidin to the rest of car editing and getting it in game.

but I will recommend you that dont do the cadillac XLR for ur very first project... but choose an easier project..  but as you wish so..... ask me if u need help on any point.
