I hope that I am posting this in the right spot, I don't know if this would be a common subject on here!

For any fellow car enthusiasts who are interested in 3D modeling, I've just started a new YouTube channel creating Tutorials to help people create 3D cars starting with the 2019 Audi R8 Spyder.

The videos should be able help anyone regardless of software as the same rules will apply just different tools and a different interface.

Here is a link to the channel if anyone is interested.

And this is what the final model will look like if you make it through the whole series!

Pretty cool idea for a channel, good luck with it. Would it be very impractical for the model to be built up in sections, with each section optionally being saved as an STL/DXF etc? I was wondering if the parts could then be 3D printed. Maybe you could sell the files to anyone who would prefer to print your models rather than draw them - might make some additional income.
Thanks, sounds like a cool idea, might be nice to do for some of the cult classic cars that are less likely to be able to buy a kit for.

I dabbled a few years ago with 3dsmax after seeing with the artists at Codemasters.
These tutorials would have been so useful back then. There weren't many car specific tutorials back then.
Yea, I did my first video about four years ago, it was the first full build on YouTube, now there are a load of people doing them. These young guns don't know how good they've got it.

That's impressive! How long would that take to model starting from scratch?
Thanks! Depends, if I'm doing them for a video, probably about 20 hours. If I'm just doing one myself maybe double that.
