Need help with topology for Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Support Modeling

Hi,

I recently started 3D modeling a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. While doing the side (right in front of the doors, behind the wheel vents) I came upon this part where my topology doesn’t seem to be right. You can see my best try in the picture below, but I could really use some suggestions about how you guys would do this part of the model.

There are tonnes of car modelling tutorials over on youtube - this one is close enough… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_qiE07sfF8

In general the trick is to block out and then do another pass over it to add detail where needed. I think your going straight to the detail step which has led the weird flow.

Check out this video too… Itll give you a clue for the basic shape you can build on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMlNNj4eZiE

It’s worth watching videos for other 3d apps as well, since its more about technique then the tools.

Thanks! I’ll check them out.

You should also check out some of the car modeling videos from CGmasters:


There is an awesome tutorial ($) from Chris on this topic, but even from the free videos on his YT channel you can learn a lot.
