Alias Studio Tutorial
I’m Starting an Improved Model of My Sports Car
This is the second model. The first was freehand with no drawing or visual aids, such as Canvas Planes and unless you have a lot of experience making either physical or virtual automotive models, I simply don’t recommend it. Life is MUCH easier if you start with input sketches, canvases or image planes. I don’t like image planes and prefer to use canvases, which can be viewed in the perspective view.
I have set my model up so that the center of the front wheel is set on the origin in the Left view
I have spent quite a few years making clay models
And a physical model usually has the center of the front wheel arch set on the XO , but this will vary from one company to another
I have set all my canvases so that they sit
as described with the center of the front wheel arch an 0Y and then moved the canvases away from the model along their respective world axes.
I can’t get excited about this part of the preparation, but now that it’s done, everything is ready for me to throw myself into building a really good model.
