My First Car Model - BMW Z4 Roadster E85 - WIP

I decided to practice and work on my modeling skills and I had always wanted to model an automobile. Thus I decided to jump right into it. I chose BMW because it's a very personal car to me - it's been my favourite since I watched my first James Bond movie, Tomorrow Never Dies. The design of the car always fascinated me.

I did a lot of research and took as many reference pics as possible of the car. Here is what I plan to create:



BMW Z4 Roadster E85

Personally, I think the design looks pretty cool to me. I also got the blue prints of this car. Once I had my research and reference all ready by my side, I jumped right into Maya, made my own custom workspace, laid out the blueprints and started the modeling process. I worked for approximately five to six hours before I came up with the look below:



The model looks as if the front of the car is dented, probably because I meddled too much with the vertices. I should be fixing it pretty soon, once I get the time from my school work.

More updates when I progress (=

  2. Good for you man!

    It seems that you have enhanced your skill well. At this moment I could already say that you will be a famous car architect. And your first car by the way looks so fly!

    My first car was a gift from Dad during my Junior High. But what I am looking forward to have is Dad's first car in Los Angeles. Car dealer did a great PR on that car that made Dad buy during that time. That car is the best classic I have ever seen. I hope I could find one here in Orange County. Car dealers in this town should have one parked in their shop, just waiting to be seen.
