Dude! This was challenging. Whenever I would screw up somehow, I'd delete the mesh and start over. I did that THREE TIMES! Finally, decided to try and fix my topology. I did it. Got my topology back in line, not realizing that the order of selecting vertices to make a face "mattered". So, now I have a finished hood - bonnet for you guys on the other side of the pond. Thank you for doing this. Don't give up people, it can be done.

[@grydcg]

Funny story😂😂😂 but it's good you persevered

[@smallnuts2]

I model by vertices then use F to connect then fill in edges.

[@Nikhilesh9807]

@@smallnuts2 doing this I messed up my car like Trash, and starting over is the most frustating part of it.

[@smallnuts2]

@Nikhilesh Pal takes practice and an even amount of vertices for nice quads and go through ortho views to make sure vertices are alighlined.

[@stepovyk01]

Thanks for motivation!!!

[@agent11co90]

one of the best tutorials ive ever watched! subbed and liked. It not only shows you how to make the car, it does it so that even if you have only very little exp in blender, like me, you can still achieve this and follow the video. The keyboard inputs, i would say, are the most helpful of all!

[@foxnov4000]

Welcome back, Master. I've been waiting for you. Once again, thank you so much for going such length only you know for this free tutorial.

[@grydcg]

Thanks alot❤️

[@visitante-pc5zc]

This is certainly a very useful tutorial if you already know a little bit about blender. I was having a hard time modeling my own vehicles from random blueprints because I grew used to the "planned tutorials". Planned tutorials are fine if you're an absolutely beginner and wanna get things done, but you won't develop much modeling skills because they omit so MANY details. In this video, however, the author starts in a natural(organic) way with vertex flow modeling. He explains how vertices and edges fit within the blueprint. Not only that, he starts simple and introduce complexity along the way. He also gives proper attention to the topology and show how to fix them. So if you're a novice to blender, this video is gold. Very natural and informative. thanks Gryd CG. Wonderful work

[@grydcg]

I'm literally in tears rn🥺 thank you soo much Visitante 2050❤️❤️

Great comment so let's try to do my first car with this guy!😉

[@user-vq2ck5sy5p]

i will try too. taking a leap of faith here

[@dustinrider8113]

Great tutorial!! Similarly to what others said, I learned a lot more from just watching you do the process vs the more cookie cutter tutorials. I appreciate that you didn't have basically a script to follow because watching you problem solve is really helping me learn how to problem solve similar areas in the future! Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial!

[@onmeshka2338]

man, that is literally a treasure... thank you.. i will watch every single video.. thank you!

[@SirMaxiimus]

Been trying to find a good car tutorial, and I think I hit the jackpot with yours! I really like your approach with vertices rather than using a place and extruding, then fixing vertices (which was what I found elsewhere). I learned a lot about vertices topology too, thanks! Subscribed and I'm gonna try and get through the tutorial and not give up this time.

[@grydcg]

Awesome, thank you!❤️

when trying to make the edge sharper you could also just use the edge weight instead of adding a edge loop to avoid those vertices. great tutorial by the way!

I like it, you made the video not only with terrible audio, but very confusing as if you have no idea what's going on or what you're trying to do, that ultimately lead people to look for actual proper tutorial from those who knows what they're doing. Good job!

[@grydcg]

Wow😅 Never actually gotten a review like this, thanks so much. Respect! Btw no one really knows what they're doing when modeling something as complex that this, it only takes extensive practice before coming on camera which I really didn't do most times. But you're right tho, I didn't know what I was doing most of the times🤫

my first creation in blender... Tough but satisfying. You're a bit fast sometimes but your tutorial is really good! Thanks! :D

[@madladredux2616]

A GREAT TIP, if it hasn't already been mentioned, is the filter looking icon in the upper right corner of the screen. If you click on it, in the dropdown box right underneath the 'Restriction Toggles' there is a cursor icon thats grayed out in-between the 'Eye' icon, and "Check Box' icon. Clicking on this allows you the lock layers/make them unelectable in the 'Scene Collection' menu, VERY HANDY when messing with allot of different layers. : D

Im working on the hood/bonnet when im fixing a view another view is messed up and so on. I just cant get them to match. Any tips? (Im not working on the same car as on the video)

[@kyungseomin]

Hey, thanks for the tutorial I really appreciate it! I have a minor issue at 15:55 when I move the vertices. If I move the vertexes after extruding them to a edges, that first vertex remains in the original position as a copy. So it looks like what it is shown in the tutorial, but theres a single vertex in its original position on the bonnet. Cant delete or do anything about it.. Does anyone know how to fix this? Cheers

[@visitante-pc5zc]

You can "dissolve" unused vertices by selecting them, press x, and choose the option "dissolve vertices" You may also merge vertices by distance too

[@LiveMusicRec]

Do you know why I do not see the grid over the background?

[@sskkrrtt6974]

great tutorial! but one question, when i use shift + z my mesh remains in wire mode and i do not get like the full mesh, how do i fix this? for example you did it at 26:48 , but it's doesn't work on my model

[@grydcg]

You can try pressing Alt + Z to switch between transparency mode. Had that issue once

[@fennafenn]

Thank you very much, Sir for this cool instructive Tuts, myself I only needed it for aligning the Plates. Because I have a different car than that you use. But still checked off your whole Modeling series. Just a question, you only shift the Plates and not the Cube you aligned, isn't it true that now that you shift the Plates during Spline Modeling it does come out straight relative to Right, Front, Top, views? Because when I press (.) below the numpad it does center but with the other news it does not center, even though with all the Origin is in the World Origin that is unchanged. I hope you will/can give small advice? With kind regards, Ps If it is not clear I can send you a Private Message? And then possibly I will send you my Project file with it should there be any ambiguities.

[@grydcg]

Hey there, thanks so much for being a part of my channel. I don't quite understand what exactly you mean so please if you can, you could send a private message to my Instagram. instagram.com/gryd.cg?igshid=ZDc4ODBmNjlmNQ==

I started learning blender 2 weeks ago and here I am, smoothly going with the flow following your informative tutorial. I wish you the best, Toby :) Quick question, at minute 38:20, I don't quite understand how exactly this curve was formed when you wanted to merge the overlapping vertices by distance, would you please explain what happened there?

[@grydcg]

I used the knife tool tool to cut a way through to extend the pair of edges on one side so I could eliminate the other one. I wish there was voice recording in the comments so I could explain better.

[@omarelsarawy6035]

@@grydcg I do understand the function of the knife tool for the bottom part; to end the path of the curve. What I'm still trying to figure out is how the upper curve was created once you merged the vertices. I know how hard it could be to explain it over the chat, so if there's a discord server or something, could you please link it?

Umm... I think you need to adjust the vertices on all sides to ensure its in the right place, and this would only work if you've done the first step which is to use a cube to align the blueprints in the right position.

When I exit from the project and come back all but the last put background image corrupt and turn pink. Is there any way to fix that without having to replace the blueprints?

[@1990EscortXR3i]

Found the solution. They were quite old and used a previous display of Blender so it was a bit difficult to find. For anyone that may need it: On the big right side display, click on the top left button that says "Editor type" and put it in "Properties". There, look for "Object Properties" and select the background image (In my case it only had to be done to one image, not sure if it's always the case, check just to be sure). On the same column where Object Properties was, now search for "Object Data Properties". There will be 2 squares, one "Empty" and the other "Image". On Image click on the shield icon by the side of your file. That should do it. I'm pretty new to Blender so sorry if this is common knowledge, just thought other beginners would like to know.
