Default Nissan Z Car Tutorial

My friend's tutorial was added to Newteks tutorial database last week... check it out:

http://www.newtek.com/products/light...car/index.html

I know, it's just another car tutorial, but his technique is different than the other tutorials out there. Rather than splines, he creates the car point-by-point by way of Poz_extender.

I agree, its really a good tutorial.. I tried it out and its really easy and fast, however I think all techniques has its strength, for example spline patching gives you a more perfected shape and you can controll it easier ( atleast I think so )..

anyways, this is about 2 hours modelling and I tell you thats REALLY fast for being me
