Hello, Old Friend

    It's been a little while... I know. I actually have worked on the Coupe a little bit since my last post but I didn't have time to write about it. Some other things (Senior Project, work, school) got in the way of working on this project so it was put on the back burner for a while. But now that I've got some time to work on it I hope to finish pretty soon.
    This session was more of the same. I am adding surfaces, refining them, trimming them, deleting them, doing them again AAHHH! A lot of that. It is coming along. I have the area around the door and window modeled, the scoop behind the window and I just finished up the concave dome that seals the back of the body. I've been modeling by eye more and more. I initially thought that is kind of like cheating but that's exactly what Pete Brock and the guys that made the coupe did originally. So I am using as much of the measurements from the car that I can but anything that I don't have measured I'm just going by eye. I'm not just modeling what looks best, I'm inserting pictures of the car and using that as reference.
    Oh and please excuse the horrible renderings. I don't want to spend the time right now dialing in a good quality rendering. I would render using PV360 but the school doesn't have that yet. So there ya have it, work is still continuing and the end is approaching. So stay tuned...
