YES. Finally someone that teaches about proper dimensions! Most other tutorials just start modelling and you get a car the size of a building.

as a new modeler and ex owner of a 280zx i have found my first vehicle tutorial. ONWARD!

[gustavomachado]

This is a phenomenal tutorial! Im a Blender user and find myself with the challenge of creating my first car, glad I found this tutorial that is filled with great advices and techniques, thank you so much for making this videos!

Your channel really needs more attention. You’re doing a great job sir!

Decided to start modeling a vehicle for the first time, this series couldn't have come at a better time!

[blacksand]

This tutorial series was one of the most in-depth and easy to follow car modelling tutorials I've ever came across. I would really like to know how we can turn this model into a game ready model with lower polygons without losing the details. Thank you!!!

I can't thank you enough! This is the first time I've had a semi easy time modeling a car. Granted this is only my 3rd time, but you've taken the headache out of it. I am so happy how my car is coming out and it's just the first week. Mahalo!

This is an excellent tutorial. Thank you for making this! I have started making my first car in Blender, and this series is helping out a lot. Much appreciated!

You are doing an amazing job for the community ❤️

[moebius]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Representation of bluprints by curve guides is a trully great trick!

[nrdpc]

Thanks for this series, I've been struggling with vehicle modeling and these videos have been a big help.

[vladyslavlevenets]

These videos are of immeasurable value for newbies like me ! I am so grateful !

[billypodol]

Great.
I also used Autodesk Imagemodeler to put locators on a bunch of photos of one auto from different angles, so matching the perspective.
After that I exported these Locators to Maya, made some adjustments and connected them with Curves. After, just extruded these Curves to surface etc.

This person's unique content deserves the best praise

Changing the color of the guide is nice if u have a hard time seeing it in persp view

[skfreeworld]

Its very helpful for some people, but it can easily confuse a beginner like me, by mixing up so many things.
