Crazy car blueprints...

Support Modeling

Hey there…

I’m trying to have a second go at a realistic car, after the complexity of the backlights put a cruel stop to my previous project…

I normally know how to set up background images for blueprints and make them match each other, but the ones I found for the Citroen DS 21 I’m trying to make are just weird… The bounding box I put around them shows BIG discrepancies!

Here’s a screenshot: http://imgur.com/a/QxfcV

How would you guys go about fixing these please?

Thank you in advance… :cool:

Cheers!

Heehehe!

Thanks, but those are by far the best available…

I did not mean to make a joke, really, but wrong references cannot lead to anything good.
And without a good reference you can’t even correct this one.

OK, but those are really the best… So I guess I’m gonna have to choose another car for my exercise then… :rolleyes:

There’s plenty of references around, perhaps you could gather some of them and try to over impose one to the other and to understand what is wrong, or extrapolate a coherent set of views.

Not a bad idea… :yes:

And maybe I could use the one you just posted for the general shape, and go back to the previous one just for the details… I prefer the headlights of the 1971 model…

Thanks for you input guys!

Anyway, I would try and overlap them in photoshop or similar, in multiply or some other suitable mode, just to get a better idea of differences.

good work!
