[DjVoyager]

Besides having a successful career we all have dreamed at least once of owning a luxury car someday, the one that costs more than $50,000. Through CGI, you can own the car of your dreams. You won't be able to actually drive but hey, you can show it off to your friends.

Theme
- Model or Paint your dream car.
- You can also apply a body kit on it if you like.

LOL, hey, next time PM me a suggestion for the next month's project. But I'm sure you'll do just fine. I've seen your other models ;)

[Kyle_Studios]

cool theme! Cant join in this month though. I have 2 projects on the go! But haha kind of funny. Last months game character is going to be my new project haha. Dang.

[Farla]

This is a good time to learn Blender for me also :D. Thanks DJ.

Will you be in for this one? or are you afraid hehehe j/k.

Should be fun to see all the cool car at the end of this month, hopefully there will be more DT members joining this month's theme.

DT has two kits on it i'm sure most of you guys are ace at modeling cars.

[supernegrojr]

well im not all that great yet. I still have yet to get any of the DT car modeling training kits. i havnt got any of them actually. but im gonna do this project as well. im gonna take time on this model. And im gonna make sure I have either two files (one for poly model and other for smooth or Sub-D) or just duplicate them in one file. just so then I can go back and make changes to it as I go.

should be fun and im excited to start!!! :)

[DjVoyager]

Farla, I accept your challenge ;)

Supernegrojr, I would suggest to post your progress as much as possible to get feed back, but none of the suggestions will compare to DT's car modeling kits because they are designed to give you a thorough understanding of the auto modeling process. Good luck! :) By the way, are you entering your project for this month? I don't see your final render anywhere.

[supernegrojr]

Ohh dont worry I will be posting my WIP in here as much as possible.

But unfortunately, no im not doing the game character for this month. I just cant model a character. I should be able to soon though.

Hey count me in, this will be my first car, truck or van. Have to take a look at the blue prints and see what I like. As for tricking out the vehicle I know rims, spoilers and ground effect kits are ok, what about other accessories, like Calvin in the window peeing or praying? Stuff like that.

I also ran across these blue prints

Metryx, your car should be luxury exotic, that means no minivans, carriages or rickshaws. Whatever you stick on your car is your choice :)

There's a sticker of Calvin praying? lol

[metryx]

Ok another question, can it be any luxury car. I know most may want to do the James Bond Aston Martin or Lamborghini and even Lexus, but want about Rolls-Royce Phantom I 1927?

[DjVoyager]

No year is specified so, yes.
