Could you possibly tell us what the car is?

it looks like a porche possibly an old 911 turbo
its not a bad start, could you post a wire around the headlight area and maybe we would help you with the smoothing error

Porshe Spyder 550:

Its a definitely a good start. Vehicles are hard to make in Halo in general. I'm planning on making a tutorial, though.

its a porshe, yes...a porshe 550

this is what its supposed to look like.
the problem is that this is meant for blender

nice render, but you shouldnt use a model as a ref

Hey it looks good so far, i think the front bumper underneath the lights sticks to far out though, but still really nice work...

Coming along alright. One thing though. The doors should be attached to the cab more, if you know what I mean. To use those doors, you'd have to crawl throught them. Widen the inside, and the windsheild. Also, if you really want to take the time you should square out the inside of the wheel wells.

Looking really good. I would suggest making the hood flush with the rest of the body.

it has a nice cartoony look, but i wouldnt export a dense mesh to max expecially as a .3ds, your mesh will be fubar when you import it

the problem is that blender has something called subsurf (i assume you know what that is) and it wont let me square it out but i'll see if i can.

It looks a little high poly. Poly count mb?

kwazy · Post by **kwazy** » Thu Mar 15, 2007 3:58 pm

i dont know where to find the poly count but i think this is it.

16784

TomClancey · Post by **TomClancey** » Thu Mar 15, 2007 4:03 pm

Its never going to make it in halo with 16k pollies. Maybe with 3k.

Also to find polly count go under the Utilities Tab (Red Hammer).
Click (More...)
And scroll down till you find poly-counter. Tell us both of those numbers.
