I made one a little while back on 3dsmax. It was pretty crappy, the dimensions were off because I couldn't find any actual blueprints. and then my HD crashed and I lost everything. this is the only pic I have left

look decent. I can see your refs were a 97+ Max, it does have an Altima type of look to it.
I was looking for ages for some reference picutres, but I coulnt find any. I'm just going to take some side, front, back,and top pics myself and use those with Maya.

With the pic mounted on planes for the front side top and back, It shouldnt be that hard, draw some burbs curves, or even use polys for the general shape, should work. I'd probably enhance the reference pics in photoshop with strong contour lines.
I'll make a thread with my progress I plan on starting next week, as my school is open downtown.

Damn! If anyone wants a 3d model of a car I'll only charge half. Just give me a week or so to complete the model. Seriously Max, Maya, softimage, what ever program you want it for.

I'm into gta car modeling, so far I have about 50 cars replaced... I'm looking for someone to model a 4th, or 5.5 gen max into the game, if someone can do it... that would fwakin rock !

If anyone wanted to really get into it, they could make bodykits for it too, but i dont know if anyone is that bored.
EDIT: I'd give $50 to anyone who makes one that looks like my car (so a bit modded) that works in GTA:SA, pics can be found here: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=425012

Since Akumachan's max is almost stock, make it stock w/ clears, and stock wheels... cuz later on, they will release a bunch of new wheel mods.
omg I can't wait.

no prob. I've been planning on making a few cars for my portfolio, what car better to make than the car I own. Then seeing this thread gave me an extra push to get this done.
