Hi, in this thread I will post the updates of the class I’m making for my students about how to model an Acura NSX 2017, trying to apply and explain what I’ve learnt in this forum about clean surfaces, matching techniques, etc.
The classes are once per week and less than 2 hours each so it will be quite a long project.
the idea also is to use more the perspective than the ortho views to align and improve the shape
thanks! yes one of the things I make special enphasis is that we will rebuild and remake almost every single surface at least 2 times until we get something decent.
I didn’t know about the wheel arch direction. I will pay more atention
I’m using some Alias references from Behance for the surface layout too.
one of the things I don’t like yet is the front light surface, is too stretched or something. I mean is good to aproximate the shape in this frist steps but I will have to make it in a different way :
Yes, you clearly see the twist on the right blue circle. Its a quite difficult area, but maybe you rebuild once you have the rough front bumper. I remember that front and side surfaces are always almost z aligned from their main perspective. This makes them easier to match in general. In this case it would mean making them more rectangular and trimming at the headlight cutout. Its actually quite a difficult car.
yes it has tricky shapes but I choose it mainly because is easier to see where surfaces starts and ends.
in early years I only used the camaro tutorial from Vladimir Panchencho for the same reason, but is quite old and now I know a cuple of things more about surfaces to make it better.
Hi Diego, from the post it looks like you made the initial image and that isn’t the case is it? I see the same image when searching the car, but then the image is mirrored.
If this is the case then I don’t think it should be the first image since it pops up in the Rhino gallery banner appearing to be a Rhino model
