jeanp,thank you,but for now I've got enough pictures of that part.

why no comments ?

INST3D,

That really looks great. You might get requests now from people who want to see different wheels on your model!

Looks fantastic, can't wait to see it finished! If the model is dimensionally sound, it would be a great tool to try out different things without actually having to mess with your Z. I'm sure engine-swappers would love it.

Amazing job INST3D.. in for seeing more and hopefully the release of the 3d file to the public.

Thanks,

Thank you guys!

so I've decided to make retopology at this stage,not to make it when the model is more detailed

[Mikes Z car]

I had to go look up that word retopology, which seems to mean the polygon count is reduced to make it ready for painting or animation?

[INST3D]

well,not to reduce the polycount,but to make the wire look good(now it's terrible,but ok for static geometry which doesn't deform,but I'm gonna play a lot with the model so I need a "playable" wireframe)

About polycount:I really don't mind high values(for now the car has about 4 million polygons with symmetry)because it is easy to handle it in viewports(parts of a programm where you are working in) as you can lower the resolution of the model

Models with both good and bad topology will look same on renders,but the bad one will be hard to operate with

And yep,the bad one is shaded in a bad way(that works only for viewports,not for renders)

[Mikes Z car]

If I understand, when you make retopology it allows you to push and pull on the model to adjust it?

[INST3D]

It allows you to re-made the model based on the initial mesh

[dzeyene]

Another great update... are you anticipating the model to be 100% accurate in sizing/features??

[INST3D]

I won't miss any detail,but for now it is really hard to make even 95%-accurate,but we'll see

So guys if you gane fully disassembled body,let me know.
