Default 2005 Mustang GT

First I have placed the Nissan on Hold as I am reworking much needed areas but will be updating it as I progress on it.

I found myself frustrated with it and felt I should back off then come back to it some times that helps

Anyway, I really have been wanting to start a 2005 Mustang.

So here it is!!! Off to a good start.... I may begin again to cut the poly count down, what do you all think should I?

One of my Faults is I start out low but somewhere along the path I find I add more polys.....

Hey but this is a fun learning process....

Practice makes perfect... hehe so I better keep practicing LOL

dont cut the polys down...unless your machine cant deal with this number of poly...the car is looking great...i wanted to model one myself....probably will...but busy for now....next time you post an image disable the cages/normals/guides...they get in the way of this beautifull view good luck !

I couldnt help myself I had to remodel it to some degree.

In fact I remodeled the entire side panel and as you can see have started on the bumper.

I have several areas of pinching to work out but I am confident most of that will be corrected as I finish cutting out the bumper.


Have some areas of stress around the lights, as soon as I am done with the bumper I am going to tackle that area.

SO heres the update!!!

One more of some renders I did... I made this my Backdrop of which I will update as the car is updated.

I am really liking how this is coming out and from these renders I am really inspired to push on.


Hope you enjoy!!!!

EDIT:

Ok I descided to come back and edit this post. I have run into a snag and I am finding it will probably be more work to correct than its worth.

I had started on the rear section of Car and it was looking good until I was moving forward to conect it to the front section and thats when I begin noticing some major problems with alighnment in so many areas that I am trying to descide should I scrap the front and take the back and move it forward or should I scrap the back.

Oh well, I am wondering now if I will ever get a car completed.

I realized what my problem was or is. It is the alignment of backdrops. I was only able to find a Side view and front view and rear view Photos of the car. However I found a Top view of the Car but it was a photo of a Model.

Thinking I could use it to at least get a general idea of the shape or placement was ok in the begining .. at first it wasnt a problem, but I think I may have used it to often as though it was accurate forgetting that it was not hince my back section does not want to line up with my front.

I know now I could have avoided this or at least determined this much earlier if I had created a complete spline cage of the car ooops my bad yes I know I made big boo boo!!!!

Impatience did this one in.... However I am willing to start from scratch if I could just find some blueprints/ 3 view pics that in fact line up as I want to really do this car.

I guess I could model an earlier model of the Stang such as the 99 model I think there are Blueprints of it, or I could go even earlier as I happen to have accurate prints of the earlier stang.

I dont know guys kind of down in the dumps on this one!!!

ANyone know or have blueprints of this car?

I havent checked there, didnt know about that one. I will take a look.

But good news I havent gave it up I descided to press on. However the front is a no go, but I am splining the rest of the car from the back forward and its starting to come together. I am providing an update pic to show all is not lost.

MBStudios

P.S. Thanx for the headsup about smcars.net.

Update Time again.

I now have it front to back. I still have the top to finish and I have around the headlights area to finish. Then I go to detailing it out.

It is coming along wel and I am liking it so far.

Getting closer and now can actually see insight when I will begin working on the interior.


Enjoy!!!
