Just trying to save some time...don't want to model it from scratch if I don't have to.

sorry, I really don't understand what you're looking for

are you looking for a 914 scale model?

Marks914, a detroit automotive designer already modeled one. Do a search...

Hey Neo, thanks for the link.

Monterey is nice, good place to raise kids.
A salinas native huh? I seem to recall spending way too many Friday and Saturday nights in high school cruising up and down south main...
a little of this
and a little of that...
oh to be young and stupid again.

Hi Mark,

That's absolutely beautiful.
I have no real plans, just wanted to play with some diffferent paint options, and maybe make some animations. Nothing commercial. I ended up with an older copy of Maya, and it got me interested in playing with 3D again.
I've been using Vectorworks at work for lighting design, and I've had Bryce for years but hadn't touched it in a while. I have a few tutorials for Maya on how to model a car, but I've never done it from scratch. I thought it would be easier to ask around first.
I'm sure modeling it would be a good learning experience, but the time would really be better spent working on the actual car!
So if you're willing to share I'd be really grateful. And if you'd rather not have your work abused by amateurs (like me) I totally understand!

Krikey! You have been a very busy boy Mark! Thats amazing. I still haven't done much with the early iges. 914 work has taken a back seat to GPS design for the time being. Great job though! That cut-away would make a great garage poster and I'm sure that more than a few members here would want their hands on one....
