Hi after my failed Audi 50 Project I am now making an Audi 80 because I think it will be easy to model^^ I’ve already made the hood and the doors and am now trying to do the fender… Here is the whole car and a picture of the rendered hood: ![](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/4/4/449b8709ff3cb657275bbdef1954a5b228c031d2.png) ![](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/9/a/9aefafff6d1c1ba4d283ad230e7d0b1b33ba8329.jpg) ---

so the fender sucks^^ anyway I tried a bit and made the old Audi-Logo ![](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/b/c/bcda1bda44f46501508791c748846f78b0eba369.png) ![](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/5/a/5adf54236ea88cea5fcdb14092afb0679540f932.png) [ATTACH=CONFIG]207786[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]207787[/ATTACH] ---

So far so good, but I would suggest turning on Optimal Display on the Subdivision modifier so you can relieve your eyes of viewing thousands of tiny faces. :RocknRoll: ---

thanks 🙂 I still don’t know many functions of the program… ---

Doesn’t seem like you are using Smooth Shading… Nice work atm. ---

no, but maybe I will use it when I render the whole car… the fender is almost done. only one or two edge loops are missing but I will fix that when the doors are done (this may be a big problem^^) this is my progress: ![](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/9/e/9eea8289198f2449ce5622a6c3f321a83a114a3f.png) as you can see i did the turning light - at least the surface… and the next thing will be front lights & the grill ---

the front lights seem to be too high ☹ so i didn’t do them… but i’ve started the rear part: ![](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/a/2/a248ac10fd9ea26142d10750e933a0fea540f336.png) ---

this seems to become a monologue but i will go on… ![](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/f/c/fcb377e0c1559080b0c9b0e58fcbcd3c5626e690.png) ![](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/f/0/f04e939fc11dc23be1b5a32a41559ef82de413b6.jpg) this i the rear part and the tire with hubcap but i don’t like the color of the tire - too bright 😕 anyway there is still a lot of geometry to do before i can fix that ---

thank you! here are the grill and the front lights - atm i am not sure if i should make the lights as a texture or really try to model them 😕 the first one would definetely be easier but the second one looks better… or let’s say: should look better^^ ![](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/1/f/1fd534563644fdcd1bfe2f94ffa0cd76202b75b5.png) ---

thanks 🙂 the grill and the headlights are done: ![](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/0/d/0d676aababc4ec9659e155b25a9c186d2dcd1c22.png) even if the headlights seem a bit dark in comparison to the too bright audi-logo^^ ---

what do you think about hte door handle? ![](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/8/6/8694010bc98d92a958ab3eb7445f425ad4d95147.png) and another update: so far, the roof and the windows are almost done (except for the plastic parts) ![](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/a/8/a816ae76027ce329ce78c75d2956a6f085d2f314.png) ---

looking very good, but you really need smooth shading, really, it doesn’t hurt and it’s just a click… only thing to have in mind is that you may need to apply edge split modifier, and maby recalculate normals (ctrl-n in edit mode with all selected) ---

i don’t know how you could see the wrong normals but i corrected all. and here is the render with subsurf ON: ![](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/e/0/e01697e64351ed9083f775e47392e09f07e07e6e.png) ### Attachments ![](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/a/8/a816ae76027ce329ce78c75d2956a6f085d2f314.png) ---
