 Classic Car Assignment:




    For this assignment, I am creating a classic car from 1974, the Lamborghini Countach LP 500. Seems odd that a classic hypercar would be released during this time. How I started initially started this project with a box and extruded/molded it that way just to see if the form of the car would go the way I thought it would. Sure enough, it did not look as nice as I thought, so I redid it with the curve method demonstrated in the tutorial videos. The formation of the car using the curves was a bit tricky at first since I had to bend certain curves in a way that matches the form of the car well. Since the car is symmetrical I could just model/guide half of it. The outcome of this is this. I started with a plane with ten faces as the fenders then I extruded out of it from there.



The Issues that Happened:

    One issue that happened during this process was that the way to align edges and vertices kept on breaking for some reason. I know the method to do this, hold C and middle mouse click and drag on the curve you want it to align to.  For some reason, I don't know it was just not snapping to the curve I wanted. It would just move left or right by a bit. I did find a solution to it by resetting the move tool every time it breaks.
