Bailey Blade XTR Car Design | Tutorial: How to make form sections from 3D model - Part 23

[MrImpala03]

what software is this and how much is it

[TheWwesaif]

Hey; Which Soft did u use pls tell me i Luv to design a Car....xD

[daikiryoku]

When you cut out the MDF slithers, is the top edge still square? or does the machine cut an angle into the top edge? Howdy from Australia.

[snorves]

i was searching for better ways to molding.. i think i could use this technique and yup.. this is a clever way to do it.. you are a genius.. thanks a lot.

[BaileyBlade]

@snorves Thanks, I hope it helps let me know if you have other questions.

[bigBadSweed]

@snorves

It looks like maya 2009... fricken expensive software. Hello pirate bay.

[BaileyBlade]

@bigBadSweed Nope its 3ds Max, but still expensive. You can get educational versions of the site if you are a student or unemployed.

[bigBadSweed]

@BaileyBlade

OH wow haha it is! I cant believe I didnt recognize it! I went to school for for 3d animation, I should know the diff haha. Have you been able to take the finished produce to the track yet? I havnt had a chance to watch all the videos you have up, so if it exists in video form, i apologize in advance!

[AllForTheGame]

@BaileyBlade can you actually use this method with a 3 axis cnc to actually cut and piece together an entire foam car? instead of having a wood skeleton and filling in the gaps with foam and actually carving the foam.

[subrotatus1]

....very nice car design ****top****, you´re doing a great job with this build !!!

...can you tell me how you done the output of the sections to pdf_file directly from 3ds ?

...iám using 3ds MAX portable to create my very first car design....greetz from AUSTRIA

[BaileyBlade]

@subrotatus1 In 3d Max you can save/export your work as a .ai file (Adobe Illustrator) If you have Illustrator then you load the files in there and edit or do what ever you need, then save the file as a PDF direct from Illustrator. There are other programs that can do the same thing but i use Illustrator. Also check out my new site and forums I am planing on using this to cover all the details. Feel from to sign up and start a new topic. cardesignersandbuilders(dot)co­m

[subrotatus1]

@BaileyBlade ....thanks for reply, meanwhile i managed the section output with google sketchup!!! but i also got the illustrator and will try it later. Lets see what your new site is offering, good work

[jgbadboyz]

i just designed a model of a submarine that i made. Is this software free. Furthermore my comptuer is a 8.5 gb max capacity gateway computer can that handle this software?

[BaileyBlade]

@jgbadboyz 3D max is not free, its pretty expensive. You should look at using Blender, or Google Sketch Up, they have free versions and are pretty powerful.

[TheModo29]

Amazing work..

[kerz69]

nice car



[proracer4life]

Where do u get the design or the program to get it

[BaileyBlade]

@proracer4life The design is mine, I am not giving it out. The program is 3D Studio Max.

[proracer4life]

How u get that on ur computer

[BaileyBlade]

@proracer4life Well for one I did not get it on the computer I designed made it on the computer first. Then built the car in full scale. This video shows you how I got it to full scale accurately.

[NorkiddExo]

whats a basic and simple type program?

[BaileyBlade]

@NorkiddExo look for a program on Google called - blender.org.

[AlexanderXXV]

BIG THANK YOU MATE :)

[chris41102]

what 3d programs can i use to design me a car like that, and where can i get my wood cut for my mock up?

[BaileyBlade]

@chris41102 Look at using Blender, search it on Google. Its free and very powerful. as for cutting out the wood your can do it your self with a jig saw or find someone in your area with a CNC router or water jet system. CNC will be the most accurate method of cutting wood.

[snapie90]

witch programm is that what  your using????

[AlexanderXXV]

It's 3D Studio MAX

[DudeWithaPage]

looks like a dodge viper plus a bmw z4 placed on a honda s2000... nice

[DtIeER]

wow dat ziet het moelijk uit om tebouwen

[BaileyBlade]

@DtIeER Yeah it's not easy thats for sure.

[DtIeER]

@BaileyBlade haha is er ook 1 3D programma waar je 1 car kent bult a car ant drive in the car??

[mandunya]

Is this downloadable

[vincomputer]

man u r my greatest guru........fantastic.....you not only building your sharing your knowledge thats great...keep up good work. I will follow the build .....one day may be I wish to start a build like this...

which 3d software is that exactly?

[Kyrazlan]

That would be 3DS max or 3D Studio Max. Its what the pros use for video games alot of the time.

[BaileyBlade]

Yep. Not really the best for actually creating a car but good for expressing your creative ideas. We should have used a more Engineering based program from the start.

[LeXxXuS90]

@Kyrazlan ---

where can i find this program

[Kyrazlan]

@LeXxXuS90 For one the program is expensive, for two its hard to learn without classes/tutorials. I think retail is $3500. If you want to dl it im sure you can get an older version from a torrent or something.

[bhupinder434]

what is the software called

[Benj40791]

What is the name of the program ??

[craizygolf1980]

Bailey Blade do u do custom work for customers or friends like wide body kits if u do how would u priced???

like 6½" wider in front & 9" wider in the back

[MrAdzterr]

where u create that car...what program../w me fast!!!

[joshcassella]

Did you use a usb drawing pad?sorry im going to school for this and want to know a little more about it.

[BaileyBlade]

No did not use a drawing pad, just used the mouse and tools in the program. A drawing pad would have been nice to use though, especially for concept drawings.

[joshcassella]

so did you create the car on the program or did you scan a clay model?

[BaileyBlade]

No I design and created the car free hand in CAD.

[jorgedavmaza]

I would like to say that you guys are a true inspiration. For a while i've been trying to do the same, make a fibreglass car. Thanks to your videos, now I am really understanding how it works. Thanks a lot. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the tutorials please keep on making them.

[BaileyBlade]

Thanks we have many more videos coming.

[sxsilvia]

Nice car has a good blend of the classic and modern designs. In one of video's you talked about a mold maker. How did you find the mold maker you are going to use for your car. I am trying to make parts for my Subaru WRX STI out of carbon fiber but i dont know how to go about making the molds for the rear spoiler. I dont want to use a two piece process to make the spoiler. I would like to make it in one piece but the mold is giving me a bit of a problem. Nice video'sand good luck with the car.

[BaileyBlade]

Well there are a few Mold Maker local to us that we contacted. Their a many though out the US. I simply search Google and found them. With that said we may actually make and build our own molds now. At least for the first few test models.

[BaileyBlade]

As for your spoiler you will probably have to do a two or more piece mold. Carbon Fiber is real tricky to work with, especially if you want to show the carbon fiber look. There are a few videos on YouTube that show how to match up seems nicely. You may want to look around and see what you can find.

[TVRFan11]

This made my brain over heat. I'll take a set of hammers, a bean bag, and english wheel anyday. Its Very cool though. Just wish I could figure it out.

[BaileyBlade]

LOL, you know what so would I. If I had an english wheel and bean bag I would probably be using it.

[eightstudio]

good I also use 3d max but I'm not so smart in it ... :) nice job, no it's much clear 2 me how to create that skelleton of the car

[pjkf01]

This is very very interesting to me! I am glad you posted this!

If you don't mind me asking: What program are you using?

[BaileyBlade]

3D Max

[DanFrederiksen]

looking forward to seeing the car go electric :)

no room for retro in the future. just saying.

I know you don't want to hear it now but you'll see

[BaileyBlade]

Good, we have special plans in that direction.

[awsomeoD]

amazing! keep it up guys looking forward to see more updates!

[BlackShatOnU]

I love your tutorials, I am also fluent in 3DS max.  Thanks!

[BaileyBlade]

Thanks man I hope it helps people out there understand more about the process.
