WIP: ford ranger vehicle

[pauljs75]

It seems to be getting better as you plug away at it. I can't suggest much more than to keep at it. (I haven't done any nurbs modeling.)

You might want to check some photo references and find a better blueprint though, the truck just doesn't look wide enough.

Hi,

It's looking ok, but I really think modeling in polygons, then using mesh smoothing would work alot better. Nurbs seems to work best for organic obejcts, and polys for man made things. Vehicles are smooth, but not as curvy as like a tree or human for example. I'm not saying you can't use nurbs, but... I think polys would look better and be easier to use.

Heh... I doubt that nurbs not being good with mechanical would fly very well on some various vehicle modeling forums I've seen. Ditto for the opposite.

I think it all comes down to what tool works best for the individual doing the job. But I suppose some people need to learn both methods due to work constraints. (Some employers are picky about what something is modeled in.) In that case, the modeler has to do the best they can even if it's a bit of a poor match. Besides if it's learned to sufficient proficiency, that's another tool that can be added to one's belt.

I say keep modeling away at it, and maybe cross post to the proper application specific forum to get some good nurbs advice.
