Author Topic: I need help with the modeling of vehicles (Read 839 times)

I've seen the many tutorials about how to make an add-on where it explains how to take a model and make it work. I get that. I'm just having trouble making the model. I use Blender, though I am up to suggestions for other programs, and I use the background adder thing so as to model my stuff. I can easily do weapons but vehicles are where I'm getting stuck. In the beginning, the models always look good an correct, but when I get closer to the end, it starts to look like stuff and over verted. Is this because I am trying to make them look too realistic?

Also, could someone post a VIDEO tutorial on how to model on blender.

I think the community will appriciate knowing what kind of vehicle you are going for.

Oh, k

I was planning on making a pack of vehicles that would go with my realistic City RP. In the pack, I was planning on making a Prius, smart car, VW bug w/convertible, hot dog car (idk why), and others. But it would basically be cars that people laugh at but love.

I suggest looking up reference pictures on google or something, it helps to model something when you have a good idea what your looking at to start with.

Try moving 1 or 2 vertices at a time. Takes a long time, but is rewarding. I use Milkshape, but this is a good technique for detail.

I have milkshape but never got around to using it. Do you have to buy it?

I've always been planning on maybe making a tutorial. I probably could download fraps and do it. Not any time soon though.

Yes, ~35.00 USD.
