Hey guys. Firstly I would like to say hello :)

I am starting modelling. I have Cinema 4D and I am trying to finish famous Chevrolet Bel Air tutorial. But I dont find it easy :)

My question is : which 3d program is the easiest to learn the basics and model a car.
I am mostly interested in modeling cars. I have almost finished that Bel Air. [ HERE IS MY PROGRESS :D (http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i32/melr1/Rozne/ChevrolettBelAirII.jpg) ] I think it is not so bad as for my first model, isnt it?

So can you help me?

Rhino, C4D or 3D Max ?

Thanks in advance !

So it's "what app should you use" question?

There's no program that creates for you a car in 3 button clicks , whatever app you are using and how good and familiar with its function it's not easy to create a realistic model with no practice . this could take you weeks if not months of practice to do a very nice looking car.
your model is looking niceso far, so maybe you should stick with C4D and keep practicing!

I will try more basic tutorial to learn the basics because sometimes I can see that I dodnt know how to use some of functions.

yeah, just stick with one and learn it for a while. The whole "what you can do in this program and not in this other program" is not that much difference anymore. there are the big standards but they are all starting to even out for the most part.

Like has been said, the car is looking good - spend all the time you can being frusterated and figuring out many different ways around problems. You've probably already figured this out but in 3d there is NEVER one way to do something... you'll find the best way for you to do it.
