Re: Creating doors that open

I can't help but to agree to andy's statement on opening doors...
cos' right now i have a shelf full of incomplete ferraris with doors & hood all cut out, i thought i could pull off this feat somehow or rather with 32+ years of OOB modeling behind me. but i was dead wrong...

1) accuracy
2) common sense(logic)
3) physics foundation

to build a model with opening doors or hoods, it's no longer just modeling, but rather a form of building science/art that blends the 3 mentioned skills together. these skills must come together at a correct mix to succeed, no other way out.

i suggest you try out this feat on some scrap/junk, try to understand the thoery behind it first before starting on your prized build.
also, read up on some of the extreme builds in this forum which feature opening doors & try to interprete a mod that you're comfortable with.

unless, you have an inborn talent of mixing these 3 skills without sweat, there's simply no easy way out for this.

go give it a try...
for once you've understand the fundamentals of opening...you can open any door on any cars! but the first step(often failure) is always the hardest.

take heed
