Hi robotninja, cars tend to be a pretty high level of difficulty and will likely take a fair amount of time invested to get going with them. But here are some links that may be useful:

What about more general tutorials about modeling any sort of object just from photographs?

Would the process be the same if you were doing a building (from photos) or something smaller like from photos of an oven?

You know...someone needs to write a "Modeling with MOI" ebook. The amount of money they'd make would be staggering considering the number of people that are fairly new to modeling when they come to MOI.

I know there's lots of advanced 3D folks that do well with MOI, but there seems to be a large user base (like me), also, that comes from more expertise with 2D apps.

I'd buy a MOI-specific ebook (or whole series) on how to model. Easy.

Continuing from the last...is it a good process to use - the using of photographs for each axis - for objects you want to model from real life, too?

Sorry if this doesn't make sense - I'm new...

Hi angeliclight,

It's more common to use blueprints or technical plans which are not exactly the same as photographs.

For an example see this tutorial from one of those previous links:
http://www.suurland.com/tutorials_newbeetle.php


There is a different kind of software and modeling process called photogrammetry which involves a process of analyzing multiple photographs from different angles and identifying common points in each one to produce a model.

That's a much different kind of modeling process than MoI, if you are interested in producing models from photographs you might want to check that out, there is a variety of software out there for that, one example is PhotoModeler http://www.photomodeler.com .
