Okay I tried my hand at polygon modeling and so far I think I'm doing pretty good. I did the same thing as with photoshop which was to go through the program first before trying any actual modeling and it seems to have paid off from the feedback I've received.

I did the model without using a picture of my car for help, and there are some mistakes but overall it's pretty close. I haven't figured out texture yet or reflection but it will all come in time!

Here is what I have done so far. The first shot was after about 20 minutes. The rest were spread out over the day as I was on and off the computer all day but overal I spent about 3 hours on the car to date.

















I would appreciate any feedback on things it looks like I could be doing differently. I know it's blocky (polygons) but it's incomplete still. I will try another model (a pre-98 this time) using NURBS instead of polygons after the Focus is complete.
