Car Rendering Tutorials

The new training course by CGMasters explains advanced SubD (subdivision surfaces) modeling techniques for creating car 3D models with extremely high quality surfaces. Here is our exclusive presentation and review.

In this video Daniel Wright from Autodesk shows how Autodesk is positioning Speedform and where it can be used in Automotive Design.

A video tutorial in three parts covering the entire creation process of a car wheel and tire, from the 3D modeling to the texturing and rendering. It was done using MODO, but includes general tips applicable to any 3D software.
