3D car modeling contest

i started dabbing around blender a couple of days ago... i was thinking maybe we could each create a model of a car and we could have a vote for which one is the best.

so what do you guys think? it would be fun and i would learn better if i had some motivation Wink

Do it! And when you're done you can submit it to the F1 modelling challenge on Elysiun. I... might compete.

does it have to be formula 1? as of now i could only find a reference pic for an impreza.

Oh, heck no. You should see the things they make for it. Lots of joke cartoony cars, some incredible futuristic hover vehicles, tanks, etc.

/me makes a note to download Blender 2.41

If you are really new to modelling cars, but would still like to give it a shot, looking around this linky yields some tutorials on it.

I would strongly recommend that you do not accept entries of any of the cars in those tutorials

i recommend being able to use uv mapping to yeild good results....i will be willing to make a good tutorial for a few bytes Twisted Evil

i got the basic shape working on texturing

we should have two sections yafray rendering and blender internal as both can yeild diff. results Exclamation
