I would love to enter but I have NO idea where to start in the car making process.

[SHIVMOO]

blue prints of sports cars, research futuristic concepts for cars online (wipeout, rollcage, f-zero ect.), look at olden day trebuchets, catapults ect. to see there style.

I tend to start with the head of a creature, so the front main part of a vehicle, the area with the front lights and things, this is because it will probably be the most viewed area of your vehicle or character and so doing it first allows for more revisions on it.
also, more and more recently i will start 3 or 4 seperate models of the same idea in different styles, so hard edges, really rounded ect. then choose my fave style when i can start to visualise the finished piece.

good luck and hope that helps

might give it a shot.

[Cephas]

but *how* do you model it? Splines or primatives?

[SHIVMOO]

i tend to go primitives, sry got the wrong message from your message

I use splines for wires, love wires

Here you go, my super cool race-car

I give it the name: Pre-Car, featuring 4" rims, wooden tires, a foot-powered engine (0.00002 hp).
Max speed: Depends on the drivers fitness
Extras: Second seat for even more speed

[Dirk Black]

I think funkysoul should be declared the outright winner

[Gofthick]

I'll start on this when i get home tonight.

the wheels look a little strange, but i am guessing they will be improved, hope to see it finished

[Dirk Black]

dont laugh this is the first time I've attempted making a vehicle, and I barely spent 20 minutes on it I've got alot of changes to do. I think it looks rediculious.. ok so maybe you can laugh haha

The wheels are just temporary objects, Still haven't started to work on them

Small update - Working on the front and rear wings

[Dirk Black]

Ok so i've been working on my car a little bit, and I'm really liking how its turning out, except for the windshield, that part is really pissing me off. I think I like it so much because I am not trying to copy anything or build a certain thing, this is all from imagination.

[SHIVMOO]

the front middle looks very sharp compared to the overall design of it... kinda doesnt fit
the rest is very james bond

[Dirk Black]

ok thx for the tip on the hood, and I'll take the james bondishness as an awesome compliment
