I just visited the Nevercenter website and I do not see any such announcements on a new release. Do you have a link? Thanks kindly....

Very nice...

I have Groboto and it is pretty darn cool but it's future is uncertain because of Darrell's health...

Very nice.....

Very nice indeed...many thanks for sharing....

Sculpting a car in Sculptris....

Thanks kindly for the tutorial link.... I really appreciate all the replies....

I watched the Z-Brush totals and they were simply amazing... Perhaps Z-Brush one day may offer a competitive upgrade from 3DC like e-on software once offered to upgrade from Bryce to Vue... Freecad looks interesting but like any cad application I fear a steep learning curve... I understand Blender now offers a sculpting mode... I'll have to check that out but Blender's interface is a big turn off to me...

Sorry those where modeled with Hexagon3D, Groboto and a little 3D Coat for texturing... I can model Model A and Model T cars OK...but not anything 1940's to present... A spaceship can be quite angular, a car is not... they have flowing lines....

I've modeled hard surface objects before and I have no problems with buildings or rocket ships...But modeling a car is completely different and as I've said before cars & hots rods are my passion in life... Most of my models for free downloading at ShareCG are buildings, rocket ships and space ships.... http://www.sharecg.com/kenmo http://www.sharecg.com/v/66850/gallery/5/3D-Model/Pain-Merchant http://www.sharecg.com/v/61315/gallery/5/3D-Model/Kenmos-Fantasy-Zeppelin http://www.sharecg.com/v/66256/gallery/5/3D-Model/Skyrod http://www.sharecg.com/v/66118/gallery/5/3D-Model/Retro-Rcoketship I find the skills I use to model other hard surfaces is not applicable to cars or hot rods. And autos are one of my passions in life... Not meaning to start a flame war or otherwise, but I'm stymied why a car tutorial in 3DCoat is so hard to find... Perhaps 3DCoat is the wrong app for car modeling? I don't know... I'm only asking....

So not one decent tutorial on modeling cars in 3DCoat? I'm truly disappointed...

A poster on Renderosity has recommended RaySupreme for car modeling. It's only $39 There is a free demo... Anyone know of this tool? http://www.braindistrict.com/en/raysupreme

Thanks muchly for the links...

Many thanks for the link....ver nice work indeed...

Damn nice...any video on this? Many thanks....

Thanks kindly... I would love to have 3DMax or Lightwave but way too expensive for....

As far as car photos for references... The bulk of my photographs I take are photos of cars at various show & shines... So problems there... http://kenmo.zenfolio.com/f790253203

I really appreciate all the replies. But what I really would like a 3DCoat tutorial. I'm surprised one doesn't exit... Cars are pretty common thing to model... I've modeled some hot rods (1930 bodied Model As) in Hexagon3D using these tutorials from CG Tuts... Sadly Hexagon3D hasn't been updated in quite a few years and it is very unstable on Windows7 /64... http://cg.tutsplus.com/tutorials/autodesk-3d-studio-max/creating-a-next-gen-video-game-hot-rod-the-complete-workflow-day-1/ And often I'll use a free car model from Google Warehouse, ShareCG and other places on the net... I love Wings3D but miss all the neat tools Hexagon3D has. Tried a demo of Silo3D and it is in the same boat as Hexagon3D, hasn't been updated in a while andi unstable on Windows 7 /64... Hexagon3D was quite stable when I ran Windows XP /32. Seldom crashed. Someone recommend Nvil and I hate the ui.. I've tried Blender, even the newer 2.5x but hate the ui more so then Nvil or older versions of Blender..... I purchased Groboto ver 3 an while back with promise of a free upgrade to 3.5. But it seems Groboto is going the way of Studebaker, Hudson and Nash... For the life of me I tried in 3DCoat but get too frustrated... I always end up using 3DCoat for what I think it does best, texturing...at least IMHO... I see lots of tutorials for organics but I use DAZ3D Studio or Poser Pro 2012 for people, animals, etc... I use Vue 11 Complete for landscapes, envronments and rendering... But I'm a car guy. I'm 59 and used to build 1/25th plastic model kits as a lad. In 1983 I restored a 1960 Corvette which I still own and if the weather was fine, I'd be doing an oil change on her...and taking for a spin... So yes, I'm a bit disapointed there are no car tutorials in 3DCoat... Again, I really appreciate the replies BUT really turned off at the fact there isn't even one car tutorial... Hell even Scuptris has tutorials for toony cars...LOL Cheers

Very nice indeed... has part 3 been posted?

Thanks for the link....

Is there a car tutorial?

Yes I prefer books as well...actually I find the rapid development & changes one of the biggest turn offs with 3DC.... Cheers
