Failed Project explained...

Hi,
Regarding my last project, the proton Exora MPV, there is a problem which lead to the halt of the project. It is about all its glass windows, including the front windshield.

From the picture above, you can see that the window is not smooth. It looks like a piece of soft plastic or wrapping paper..

After trying to fix the problem several times, it seems that the problem lies in my modeling technique, where I modeled the chassis and window seperately, as pictured above.

The problem requires a major modification on the polygons, thus I decided to put this model onto halt.

I however managed to prove my theory on my next 3D models. Below is the new model :

I model the chassis together with the windows and windshield. The polygons of the windows were only detached after the modeling of the required parts is complete. For example, I modeled the door altogether with the windows in 1 piece. Once I complete the door, I then select the polygon which makes the windows, then press the 'detach' button, to seperate the window from the door.

Although I didnt manage to complete the model, I've learn a valuable lesson. Hopefully I'll be able to do better models soon.
