very nice choice, i look forward to seeing progress

although for a first model a car is too advanced, i would maybe do something really simple to start with.

Ok, dont mind the creases in the middle because the other side is only a duplicate instead of one object and dont mind the the edges that ARENT shape. Im still working on the front bumper so I dont wanna get into details until i figure out which bumper do I want to go with. The stock or this other bumper that looks lik the stock but its one piece instead of the lip piece. Ill work the the edges after and update. Hopefully monday, I should be finished with the bumper

Very nice progress on that rotor. Are you using nurbs or poly's.

BTW, you shouldn't attach pics that big, you are sucking up bandwith here. 640x480 is the reccomended size.

um or you could just render your images at 640x480 instead of posting huge ones or even edit ur current ones in paint.

you need to download a spiral script, search google for a spiral maya script or something

maya 7 has a spiral as a default object like sphere and torus are.

good luck
