hmmm work on a few minor detal add a steering wheel change the driver seat color add back seat and bone it. this puppy will be done hopefully tomorrow, we all ways chang our mind though at the last minute. I've been thinking about what John said I may turn it into Herby All in favor of Herby say I...lol

I redone the hood and got a lot less splines now I know why you use less splines it makes it a lot easier to work with the model. I'll probably work on the tires again and the steering wheel then decide a color I want.

Thank you tralfaz that just saved me a lot time.

I took out the three splines you was talking about now I'm playing with the hood but there one thing I for to do is make the original hood as a group bummer is there any way I can just select a few spline on the hood and hit a hot key and that will select all the spline on the hood or do I have to select every spline on the hood ?

Thank you John (I didn't even know Herby was a 63 cool) sorry no #53 they might not like it to much for what I have in store for it...lol Eric I copied and pasted the door as another model then I started working on reducing the splines this one came out pretty good less splines and I got a door panel I can play with. It's a lot smoother.

Figure I work on something different was getting tired of the body here the chassis I'm not gonna do to much detail since it going to be under neath not sure if that the right model chassis for the 63 one thing about VW looks like the parts was all most the same.

Gor my seats done I made them yellow and black now I got a redo the wheels that won't be to bad. hmmmm that must be some kind of shadow effect or something in some places

hmmm what causes this weird effect on the hood ? I went with old school yellow look. I need to tweak the body a little bit.

The 63 vett turning out nice I like paint job on it.

Was playing around with the interior of the bug. Just notice those line behind the seat on the box I'll probably delete the box back there.

Thank you Shelton I fix the five point patch on the fender yah the crease is gone, I redone the hood a little better still need to tweak it some more get it smother. I'm thinking about doing the wheel, the frame and interior on another model.

I took out the other half of the model did the windows over after seeing xtaz model, thank yall on the info on the creat a group and copy the patch and past think I got group thing licked..lol oh yah that pic I put up of the junk yard scratch that out I came up with another ideal for this model. I got to draw my story board I've been working on this If I got my mind on somthing I stay with it and sometimes for get about other stuff.

Thank you eric2575 and mtpeak2 I went back and check the transparency for the bug model and total for got about I done the transparency for the windows and when that happen it went to whole model the transparency was set at 44% and now back to zero, what the old saying all check the simple thing first.

I was playing with the choreography and done a render test bummer it still has the see through thing going on. I imported the barrel it done fine. hmmmmmmmmmmmmm The second one is the effect I'm going for. I took out the junkyard pick I came up with another I deal for the vw bug

I'm about done with the bug I need to do a little work on the light and interior, I'm thinking about having it set up in a junk yard or something. (I'm still thinking). Next time I'm doing something easy...LOL Bummer I just notice the bar coming trough the wheel on the 3 rd one I need to fix that.

Hi xtaz you done a great job on the vw, you got that right about the curves and shapes it's a tough one. thank you for re uploading the part 1 & 2 I'll sure check them out.

I just about got the body done I coped and past it I need to make the front and rear windshield, wheels, bottom, and interior. I need to tweek the body get some the crease out. I went on the site Thank you eric and check out some of the cars hes done he had a bug like this for sale I thought about it I said Nahhhhhh rather make my own...lol They are really good model cars who ever done um. Oh yah I need to work on the head light a little more.

here the zip file hope it works this one called hawk eye this one don't have the rear side panel. I checked the link out thank you but the car video been deleted bummer. Hawlk_Eye.zip

I separated the front, and rear fenders not as a new model (I,m learning) I hid the other parts that I wasn't working on that helps out a lot. I got two three patches but they come to point at the bottom of the fenders I'll separate the back windows and work on the top next. Once everything has been separated do you attach them when the model done or just leave it like it is ?

Put a small video cam in the head you got a cool surveillance robot.

I got the rear light and front light on again and the window in the rear I'm leaving the window off up front cause there down in the story. Oh yah I changed the lines to blue so I could see it better.

One thing I notice was that customize tool was blank in the scheme but I set it to animation master ans still done the same thing bummer I'll keep working on the model though

Here a pic with the shaded/wire frame and the zip file hope it works first zip file I made. 1963_vw__bug.zip

Ok I reset the default mode in AM and did the restart and started over on the Big looks like its still doing the same thing but I got the head light made into the front finder on this one. I see a few crease I need to fix.

Hmmmm I tried to delete the transparency group and set the transparency in the head light group bummer the weird patch color I went up to tools and then customize tried different setting there I tried setting it as a whole color yellow and it was transparency.....LOL I gonna redo (a word every body hate redo) the whole model and do everything at the end. Thank you Eric and pixelplucker for the info. When I redo it would it be best to do each part like the door, fenders, trunk, and hood as a separate model ?
