Right, to start off I thought I would find something easy and quite fun to do that will have some good results. A car is a good place to start, plus I'm quite good at them.
Probably the most important thing to find when doing a car is to find blueprints, the best resource I have found for this is suurland.com. This is a portfolio website for a Freelance 3D Artist called Thomas Suurland. As you will see from his website he is a fantastic 3d artist. Unfortunately I'm not that good.
If you click the Assets section of suurland.com you will find a huge selection of vehicle blueprints.
I had a quick look and picked the Yugo 45. I chose this vehicle because its small, square, Russian and a piece of crap, but mostly because it was in the film Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist.
Not the best film in the world, but it does means that there shall be plenty of images to reference on the car, and hopefully should be recognisable to anyone who has seen the film. We can also add some rust, damage and dirt to make it more realistic looking when texturing it.
Yes, it's a piece of crap, but it's a Serbian (former Yugoslavia) car :)
