    Was wondering if anyone uses this program and had any tips on making cars. I just found it and I have been playing with it for 3 hours and it is AWESOME! I have looked at some of the cars/buildings people have done and they are truly incredible. Any tips?

    I haven't built any cars, I use it just to build houses. Its pretty fun. Have you seen the Ferrari F40 someone has made, its amazing! The program makes me feel like an architect.

    Never built cars, but I've been learning the architectual side of it. The program is awesome.

    So how would you get the slow curved lines of the fenders? Just a lot of pencil lines?

    I've tried it, it's quick for buildings and sets, but I'm too locked in to other software to get good at it, I use Rhino and Lightwave for cars. Building cars in this program would seem daunting to me.
