Blueprints?

I'm doing a 3D modelling project on the 300 series and it would make my life 100 times easier if I could get my hands on some blueprints or sketches. Basically I just need a front, side and top view of the car as to get the measurements correct.

Thats cool, do they have a hatchbach version aswell?

It's got multiple uses, blow it up for a nice bit of eye candy on the garage wall, or print them off for colouring in at kids partys , get them interested in Volvo's at an early age :lol:

There are some at net and also at user's manual (hatchback). Might scan some if can't find any :P

Just a little taster. This has taken me a full day just to do this bit, 3D modelling takes a LONG time when adjusting details. Luckily cars are symmetrical and I can just clone one side to the other :D

Specially contact MJ, he has sedan model already.

I was / am working with this, MJ gave kindly model to be used in this one:

It would need some work, but I seem to have no time to work with it these days, very unfortunate. It has been months since I did play any game with computer, don't know who steals those hours from my clock :roll:

That brings back memories! Did a bit of 3D modeling with 3DS Max at Uni

Jani and MJ's model is very good fun. I put a stock 1.7 engine in it at one point, then fell asleep because of how long it took to take round brands :lol:

Ah yeah, looks good. Unfortunatly I have to do a step-by-step to kinda prove I did it myself :lol:

Could you do us a favor? As MJ has already completed sedan, it would be great if you could do hatchback and it would be very very great if you could allow it to be used in V300 mod? I try to find time to make that V300 mod ready, MJ's model will look lot better when I get around to update it into game :D

Here are blueprints:

Exams over, back to modelling! Basic shell is done with details. All I need to add is bonnet grille, back box, side strips and aerial. I may do the front grille if I have time/polygons left :)

Hey y'all! :)

It's been far too long since I was last here - work seems to take up all my time now the student days are over ;)

Good to see another 3D modeler here, I'll keep an eye on the progress. :)

Here's a quick render of my model
