I'm going to go over this again slowly to feast upon the smaller nuances.

Marvelous tutorial. I could learn much much much from this.

Thank you very much!

Frenchy -

I have two GIF animations in Part 2 to show moving control points on the SubD cage, as I think this might be a new concept for some people who have not tried the SubD scripts. Everything else is straightforward MoI tools.

In general, I'm not a fan of video tutorials for CAD programs. It's often hard to see what tool is being selected, and if you want to follow along, you have to stop and re-wind constantly. I'd much rather have a detailed written set of instructions and images.

However, if you see an area that needs more detail explanation, I'm happy to expand the topic and add GIF animation if appropriate.

Thanks Michael and everyone else for your comments.

I did not start out with the intent to finish the car, much less write a tutorial. But the more it progressed, the more I wanted to see it through to completion.

The tutorial is a byproduct of my own note taking. My learning style is to document a new process as I go, and end up with a personal reference manual.

With multiple software apps and programming languages I've had to learn over years, and the fact that at age 63 my brain is full, keeping notes is a necessity :)

That is a great job Ed,

By the way even at 63 your brain is not full we just get harder at remembering.

Taking for the step we do is the way to go.

congrats, it is well done.

Hi Ed,

Thanks again for the great tute.

I'm the same way. I may go weeks, even months before opening a program again, and I find that by creating tutorials it helps me not only to learn the program but also to relearn it as I go back and review the them.

I'll be 59 next week so I know where you're coming from with regard to the brain not being quite as sharp as it once was. :-)

Banner Ed..... righteous job!

Awesome Ed! just Awesome. What would be more Awesome is if you could PDF it.

Cheers

Hi
I just had a go at using the sub D tools and they work well. I imported the obg file into Daz studio (embarrassing this bit about using DS) and Carrara and all the lovely smoothness had gone. Using Andrei Samardac's 'Organic method' I can make perfectly smooth models. Whats going on? What did Ed use to render a lovely smooth shiny car? Sorry to ask so many questions but its really hard to find out such things by searching using google.
