Found this 16 pages thread Audi TT 2006 [Studio tools] on www.cg-car.com by ‘Legolaz’ user
I found particularly interesting the questions (…where the hood meets the fender…) of ‘miguel883′ on page9
The steps are not very well described (as often, curves, continuity, are not shown…)
However, a nice level modeling, not a technical class A, but nice…and really nice rendering!
I’m starting a new automotive oriented Studiotools modeling exercise: An audi S5 spoke
(I have in the idea to model the car later on, but let’s start with some nicely done spokes!)
If you’re looking for something to model, it could be a nice way to compare the way we are approaching the object.
Here is the background image I used.
The basic set up of the .wire file (Studiotools) is available here for download.
Above, a preview of the file
- The file isn’t set up with units!
- Here are some more exterior references pictures of the Audi S5 coupe.
So if you’re filling to model this Audi spoke and talk about it drop me a line.
As you may know I’m not an advanced user of the software, I’m learning it.
This time I would like to put emphasis on the renderings, a time consuming exercise but that gives a nice felling of satisfaction.
I’ll be posting later on the evolution of my work…

To give a little more visibility to this ‘invitation to model the Audi S5 spoke’, I posted this thread:
Audi S5 rim: AliasStudio (StudioTools) modeling on the www.cg-cars.com’s forum
…yes…my screen name is chupicho!
06/08/2007 update.
…10 days later…I finally achieve this exercise! See the work in this post.
Today I ‘googled’ the Dustin Brown’s blog: IDBoost ‘Tips and tricks for industrial designers’
IDBoost is my own experiment to try to catalog some of the skills-based learning resources for designers I have found online. I’ll post bits of info as I find or remember them. For more info on me, my design work, or my Gnomon Workshop DVD, visit www.speckofdustin.com.
- Dustin Brown
Dustin is a senior industrial designer inDallas, Texas.
He launched an instructional DVD with The Gnomon Workshop that covered lighting and rendering in Alias StudioTools (Autodesk AliasStudio).
Read in this post my review of this dvd
A nice initiative from an experimented designer!
Let’s keep an eye on it.
Long life to the IDBoost blog.
Alessandro Mariani from www.pietrapaniacreativestudio.com has done a video tutorial, modeling the Armani’s ‘Vincent Parfum’ bottle.
The tutorial is divided in four parts available on Alessandro’s website:
Part #1: Sketching | Part #2: Modeling | Part #3: Shape’s details | Part #4: Trim, fillet 9.0
Some audio comments on the videos would have be nice. It still a good way to see somebody else running the software.
PS: Required Divx Codec to see these videos
As i explain earlier in the StudioTools tutorial: Techniques | Art to Part: An Iron! post, I encountered problem during this tutorial, so I restarted it from scratch. I changed a little bit the design and take much more care about the way I built the surfaces.
The result…A Ferrari Iron! (we have fun the way we can…)
To avoid any surface problems, I focused on every curves I Drawn (mostly G3 blend curves) using every single time the diagnostic tool: Curve curvature. It succeed quiet well: Automatic tools (fillet, round, tube) worked very well after then on these surfaces done with care. So here’s how I proceed (the alternate way in the tutorial). It’s not of course a truth, but the best I can do right now with my knowledge.
As always, suggestions, advises, tricks or questions are welcome.
I found this 30 pages thread on www.cg-car.com, a step by step modeling of a ‘Clio RS 2006′ car, a french Renault car, initiated by the user ‘Rain knight’.
It seems that the author is an beginner Alias modeler at Renault’s head office.
The way the surfaces are created is not shown, as well as the continuities, but it gives an idea how the car is modeled.
There is also a discussion about the renderings.
