First of all, that statement above will make you think iam not a noob, but let me contradict you. LIES! ALL LIES! lol, nah j/k :)

btw, good luck with the thread, though i think that blenderartists.org is a much more suited place for such a thread :p

OK I'll bite ;)

Been using Blender for a few weeks...and used it with version 2.42 a while back for a few weeks - feel I'm making better progress this time!
Here's my first steps at modelling a VDub - not perfect by any means but is proving to be a great learning tool :)
Trying to clean up the mesh and tweak - time just seems to disappear when doing this! :)

Always value any comments and sugestions anyone has.....good or bad

Thanks fktt!!

By no means perfect.....I thought about the doors - not sure why I never :/
Maybe I'll make a Dukes of Hazard style car with welded up doors ;)

I find that a certain amount of artistic license is needed as the blueprints I'm using don't match up perfectly.....

Probably a lot of cuts on the mesh that are considered bad - few tris etc - as I get more confident I find I'm going back and trying to make changes - all good fun :)

haha, i thought you might say that :D

and on a static object such as that car some tris wont hurt ;)

As you fellas may have expirienced, oince you create a thread you have to wait x time untill it appears in the forum. Thus shall be the reason why I didn't post my work.
Ok, Ill give a bite too.

And that's the Blender:Render image.

WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND ME TO DO NOW? I DON'T KNOW!

As you can see, Its quite not finished...
This is my first well guided project (previously, my ignorance led me to build a character VERTEX by VERTEX, making me to hate 3d things, but later on I was encouraged by the scultping technology of cLAYtOOLS.

I used this site to learn how to make a character, I think the tutorials are more than exellent.
look for the "character tutorials" located lower than the middle of the page. HERE (http://www.ibiblio.org/bvidtute/)
**************************************************************
About the VDub or "bocho" as we call 'em here in Costa Rica, Man, its amazingly great! I would use it to make a movie or so, Its extremely good.

Finally one of my threads works...hope people keep on shearing their projects here.

[racoon200]

And, on purpose, Does somebody know where to find a "modeling a head video tutorial" ?

That would be great...I used one on blender wiki, but It had some parts missing. I think, and ofcourse, i prefer the video ones haha

Thanks for the link fktt. Adrianna is a classic for face modeling. I used it to model my first face and it came out just fine. It's a really good tutorial to help you prove to yourself that you can actually do it. I see he's added an eye tutorial as well, I wasn't aware of that. I'll definitely be checking it out!

I think he also has a well-rated DVD available as well.

[fktt]

yeah, and once he gets the female body tutorial dvd ready hes going to offer em as a bundle witch will be a bit cheaper than getting them sepparately
