Nissan 350Z ammm Problems....

I don't have that much experience, I've only been modelling for a couple of months, but the first thing I would do is insert vertices on the problem edges and move them (the vertices) so they average out the edge.

Hopefully you should get a smoother curve this way.

dunno what 3d package u r using, but in maya, you have many options to maintain tengency. 1) u can insert isoparms to match both the surfaces'
s topology and then attach them, this way u have a smooth and continious surface (u can detach after that, they will still maintain tengency) 2) u can rebuilt the surface to their respective number of spans, or u can choose to to rebuilt uniformly but keep the CVs, this way u do not lose your overall shape after u rebuilt.
personally, i think modeling a car in NURBS is very difficult, there are many operations needed to be done in order to achieve a somewhat complicated car part, while polys, on the other hand are, easy and great for surfacing organic and non-organics. (but IMO NURBS yield better results... they just drive u insane that's all.)
good luck and practice.

Thanks for help guys.

Hey Nomous, I'm using Max 5, and this is very anoying!! I also tried doing a car in NURBS, you know, like making a "Fill Box" and drag the edges, but that's worse than this is. What's the matter with me? Am I the only person here who can't model? Ughhh!

So what's the best thing? Poly modeling?

well, nurbs in max suck .... but it rocks in Maya and rihno i guess

i can't work with splins as well in max. but some people find it easier than poly modeling

i use the poly modeling on WHATEVER i want to do.

find the modeling technique that you are comfortable with nad go modeling :D

good luck
