well here is one of my drawings, if ya like em i may show some more?:devil:

NOW DO IT IN 3D:D START EXTRUDING:silly2:

well i have done a few things like a full v8 engine and animated it, there were wheels, discs calipers, transmission, exhaust and carbs, spark plugs, but the file grw to about 89mb!!! took hrs to animate, lol but i also use paintshop pro as the pic will show! :devil:

is that first one a ford focus?

the cad drawing is, yes, its bsed on the rally spec version, with 19" rims and a few flames:bandit:

here's a truck i did while in school (really bad pic).....started as nothin but keepin bust but been working on it off and on....been over a year since i worked on it....had headers and dual exhaust comin out...but computer messed up and i didn't save it:( but since i'm at work using lite i can't render it...but it has chrome wheels, yellow interior, raised "goodyear" letters on the tires....since my computer died at home....only use cad at work....thought about doing a 3d walk thru of a house i drew

well here is a broken down version of my v8, i thought u might work in cad from your note about leaving caps lock on!!! :devil:

nice...how many layers u used on that dwg?? do u know how to put diffferent surfaces into rmat? i have no clue

i just kept the layering system symple, calipers, wheel, tyre etc. made sure everything was turned into one solid block per item, and any duplicates were coipes, i use architectural desktop and there is a button on the solids modeling bar which allows you to assign a texture to the item, but i prefer clean lines and colours as i am building them up

thats pretty good. i used to draw cars in my drafting calss but i learned that autocad is a faggot program beacuse my teacher tried to make me model a floor plan for a house. so i will stick to ps and max.

Its cool but ....... I prefer inventor and solidworks:devil:

Very nice. If that PhantomPredator guy ever returns, they would look great on his computer generated supercars.

....... would N-E-V-E-R gave it to "mister-i-have-excelent-math- habilities":finger:
...........when I think of a V8.................

BTW not mine......assemblies are still far from my skills:o

i got max at home...always wanted to try rhino3d...read alot about those nurbes

i got max 5 and i had rhino and i really didnt think it has as much potential as max beacuse the renderer is not as good and nurbs are harder to use. but then again if you learn it you will get some great work out of it.
