I’ve written a car tire modeling tutorial, i think it fits in nicely
to the F1 2003 contest 
. While my english knowledge are
not so good than my modeling skills: please can somebody
proofreading the english part of the tutorial ?

Thanks in advance !
Bye, Olaf.
the redirect thing points to “http:///”. but otherwise, nice tut!
edit: only the first page is in english, the rest are in german. %| not that i care, its for the non-native german speakers.
edit2: starting on page 3 it is apparent that the tut is a wip. ignore the above. 
blendermax: corrected that, hopefully better now…
Isn’t this forum for works in progress ? and by the way:
the entire webpage was written/designed with freeeeeee software:
Bluefish HTML-Editor, GIMP for image editing and of course BLENDER !!!
bluefish? is it wysiwyg or text? where can you dl it from?
it look like a good tutorial!
but the first page is in english but the other after are in german…but can’t wait to see that finish

It’s a very good text html-editor with many button bars for the most important tags and has also good syntax-highlighting for html,xml,javascript,php,perl,python and many others… It’s written in C with the GTK+/Gnome2 Gui toolkits.
Download? Well, i use Debian-Linux:
apt-get install bluefish 
hmm…yea, i thought i heard that name in the linux world before…too bad. i have a good html editor myself, but im always interested in new stuff. if anybody cares, you can get it here www.evrsoft.com.
Cool, thanx for sharing.

Oh yes… 1stPage 2000… I use this one as well. It’s a very capable editor.
I can’t wait for 1stPage 2010! 
Their user community is eternally patient.
The next version is in the works though. It promises to be much improved.
they have a community? :o
Well… yes. It’s here: http://developers.evrsoft.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?s=50d8ce92c60f7577df8d61b9a5335791&forumid=20
Remember what it was like around here when we weren’t sure if Blender would survive? It seemed to us like we hadn’t heard any news for ever and the community was getting down to us diehards?
Well aparently that’s the world they’ve been living in for a very, very long time now. Unlike here though their only contact with the company is through an anonimous “ADMIN” who it seems barely aknowledges there existance. It’s sad.
Incidently the download is no longer available from evrsoft’s site.
You’ll probably have to look in the forums for a link.
heh, it’s fun to see how other people model… there are so many ways on doing the same things. like, when you create that rim in the first part of the tutorial. I would’ve never used the spin… somehow, to me, it’s hard to understand what the outcome will look like if you do it like that 
I would have added mesh->circle, and then in the side view, extruded and scaled and extruded and scaled my way to the shape…

Whew, just in time. I just started my first car.
Thanks

We’ll have better wheels in the incoming F1 contest

Hi olaf,
excellent modeling tute. :o :o
S68, hopefully all of us end up up with different wheels on the F1 contest models.
