Next i had to use the Ep curve tool to produce a rough outline of the car, this is used to help me model the outer curves of the car. I started off with a polygon planes which i positioned near the wheel. This was then duplicated on the other so i was able to bridge it together to produce the circular curve for the wheel. The plane was then extruded several times upwards towards the bonet, this is where i had to take most of my time as i tried to get it accurate and with a smooth curve throughout.
Once i was happy with the top part of the car i then had to model towards the front bumper. This was hard and tricky because the blue print template i had for the front of the car did not match the side and top in size, so whatever i modelled at the front and back of the car was not accurate. The way i resolved the problem was to first start modelling using the small template then once it was modelled to my liking i then just enlarged it and combined it with the side view.
actually found modelling the front part of the car pretty fun as this kind of challenged me in away to get it spot on. The small front template wasn’t any help either as i kept of getting confused when scaling and reducing the front bumper. But i just sat down and took my time and I’m happy with what i produced for the front fender.
The easiest part of the car i modelled was the bonet, as all i had to do was extrude the edges of the fender upwards towards the front window of the car. Then i just played with the vertices to give it that nice curvature. Ok this is end of part of the making; part two will be about producing the door and the sunroof. Here is the progress so far
