Wing mirror


To create the wing mirrors of the car i set the view looking straight onto the car and draw a box, as a seperate object, that was slightly bigger than the 2D picture of the wing mirror. I than moved the box into the right postion and converted the box into an editable poly. Using the vertex of the box i shaped it into the shape of the mirror according to the drawings from the top, front and side. Once I was happy with the shape of the mirror I extruded some of the polygons facing the car into the part of the model where the wing mirror should be attached. To extrude these polygons i used the extrude tool which opens up another tool bar in which you can increase and decrease the size of the extrusion and by clicking apply create more than one extrusion to give you more polygons. Making sure that the extrusion was intersecting the side panel of the model I shaped the extrusion to meet the car more smoothly. With the shape of the wing mirror completed I then selected the car model itself and went into the editable poly tool bar and used the attach tool to make the car and the wing mirror one object. I repeated this method to create the grill and other similar features of the car.
