Well here is the latest of my roadster, after about 50,000 hours of work! This thing is going to kill me, but one way or another I will finish it. It's my first car design ever in 3D. So here it sits in the workshop, with a fresh coat of primer and some new wheels. Oh yes, I will complete it, oh yes! LOL This is just a quik spot render if it, later as I go I'll do a real render of it. kaom

This model already looks great, kaom ! =) Incredible level of detail, some areas must have been a pain to model . Excellent work ! Keep going ! litst

Thanks litst, So far this has been a huge learning experience for me, it was on eof my first real projects in Rhino 3D. So I was kind of learning as I went. Yeah some parts just about kiled me to make, but so far it's worth it. The poly count on this is going to be huge, the wheels alone are an insane number of poly's. I've still got ot make the details of the engine area,door handles, interior(dashboard, gauges, steering wheel,seats, interior trim), exterior trim, side mirrors, and such. To say the least I have a ton of work left to be done. But rvrntually it will get done, I swear! Thanks,I will definately keep going! kaom

Thanks for the compliment Mark! By the way what is your secret to nudging objects in Carrara? I tried what you sai in that thread a while ago, and so far no success. hwat are the steps? Do you hightlight the numbers in the properties tray? What's the key combination again? That would be a very helpful feature for me on this project. Thanks, kaom

Activate the numerical window of your choice by clicking the cursor in it. Then press and hold the option/alt key (Mac/PC) and the nudge triangles should appear that you click-nudge with using the cursor. If you release the option/alt key the arrows will disappear. I'd show a screen shot but I can't get one because of the key combination.

Mark, Thanks, I did that and saw the little nudge arrows but I didn't click right on them, I was close, but just wasn't doing it right, that cleared it up. Thanks, I new I was just being thickheaded, I always try to make everything harder than it has to be. I appreciate it! kaom

WOW! Sexy car! It's coming along quite nicely! Glad to see that you decked it out with some "Kaom" wheels! Keep up the good work! Looks like you're getting pretty close to being done...or fine tuning...which takes me forever! But good luck to you and keep us up to date! Jared
