Warning: The Devil has been spotted around the latest RV build.
Word is he may be looking for a custom RV.

I'm going down to the crossroads to try and make a deal.

These vehicles are great Eric. Thanks for sharing the process. It looks like a vehicle might be the next project for me to tackle.

Thanks Terry, this has been a real confidence booster for me.

Your cars helped inspire me, thanks Greg.

Thanks agentdownbeat, I've wanted to do custom vehicle images ever since
I was a kid after seeing the work of, "Big Daddy" Ed Roth and the "Rat Fink" cartoons.

Thanks Chris, I'll be doing another tut based on the Sedan Build,
there's nothing like making a tutorial to to carve the process into my brain.

Thanks again guys

Still working on My First Car.

Upon studying headlights, the coolest looking type is Xenon, so that's what I'm attempting.

After the tutorials I'm working on are finished, I'll get on with this again.

Thanks Mee, Cheetah is an awesome tool! And don't
let it's simple looks fool you, it's got hidden power.

Example: Hexagon has an Edge Extrude tool. At first I was disappointed that Cheetah didn't have a tool with that name.
But I found you can do it with Cover, which make the new geometry, and the Transform tool.
Now I extrude edges all the time, it's all about understanding the tools and developing techniques.

I'm really impressed
Really great job
I really like the car in retro style
I always thought to model one but I have never embarked on the adventure
You may also continue the model and put one of these on the hood.

Wow Zoohead!

This is Pixar grade stuff what you are showing here.

So far I never got in to make a car ... can't wait to see your tut to take my chance.

Excellent job!

Regards.

Thanks WEEDO, that is f...in cool.

One standard and one in Lalique crystal style.

Stretched a bit, like a diplomatic limo, just for the occasion.

:redface: Thanks Caustics, I'd be happy at Bethesda working on the Elder Scrolls, but Pixar! :icon_thumbup:

The RV tut is almost done, then I'll do the Sedan Build tut.

Thanks WEEDO, the links are great, and the headlight looks amazing.
I'll have to redo mine after I have a closer look.

Thanks Greg, that is another great area of exploration, I'll have to play around with that idea.
