This model is sweet- I can't afford gas RC so I stick to battery, but I seen these around the hobby shop. I just bought a mini-T, your model is remarkably similar and extremely realistic, nice work.

This project is coming along. Looks like you had some time to do some more on this.

I have Modo301 and LW9.2 and beta. I tried Modo, but I find myself going back to LW. You are right about the memory usage. I do not know, I guess using LW for nearly 8yrs has something to do with. I do tend to fiddle around a bit back to Modo. I guess I have to force myself to use Modo only to get use to it. I am just so familiar with the LW tool sets.

Keep the good modeling. Nail.... you would be great a modeling a real sports car engines.

Well, the project isn't dead. I know I haven't posted for a long long long long time.
I had few light days and was able to pretty much finish the engine.
I must say. it was FUN........

BTW what is going on with this place. Very empty now days, is everyone joined the dark side (Maya)..lol

really good work man your attention to detail is really good just out curiosity why abandon lightwave for modo i just purchased it cause im starting work at this new place and they require us to use lightwave .(im trained in maya)

Thanks,,
Well I did not abandon LW completely, I still use it from time to time, as it was my primary choice for modeling back in the day. I never really liked Maya modeling work flow or the tools (I meant no offense/disrespect)
Modo is what LW should have been. The superiority of the tool set, work flow and faster OpenGl, is what made a switch for me. I know LW 9.6 has some major improvements, yet I still fined modo that much better.

I don't know what is going on with this place, it appears that no one is posting anything. Sad, very very very sad, cause this is my favorite 3d community.
I will no longer post the progress of this model here...
This project is posted @ http://www.foundation3d.com/forums/s...464#post137464 for those of you who wish to follow the progress..

Some more test renders....
