So, I know people say something like “Just model it then play about in unreal”. But, I wanted to hear from people with actual experience. Do you have any tips and tricks, links to how you learned or anything to help me get on track to make a AAA Vehicle and also a working interior? If anyone has any courses that offer this I am also happy to buy paid courses! Thank you for your time!
Hello Ryan,
I don’t have any experience modeling vehicles, but just wanted to make sure you were aware of this free marketplace pack:
These are the vehicles from the ‘City Sample’ project and I think they provide a good example of what’s possible now at a ‘AAA’ level. (So it could be possible to study + learn from their topology)
I also think Nanite could change up vehicle workflows, allowing for more direct import of very high poly meshes.
Hey Astrotronic,
I’ll download this pack and check it out! I really like the look of it, however I want to try and make my own! I’ll dig about and see what I can do! Thank you buddy!
First I want to say that the market for existing cars is pretty saturated. You will find almost any model on cgtrader. They usually cost about 100-120$. There are also a few good free ones on turbosquid.
Modelling cars is one of the higher forms of SDS modelling and takes quite some knowledge and practice.
You will have to learn SDS modelling, short for Subdivision modelling. Ist the purest and best form of modelling you can learn. A great modeller and teacher who does this kind of thing working in blender is John Dickinson. He made the greatest course for Cinema4d, maybe he made one for blender by now. But check out his youtube for general concepts and nice techniques

you may try some free course about MAYA or 3DMAX online, and learn how to make hardware model.
And, Even though you can make the model, that still means you need to make color map for your own model, because different model and different way to make UV maps will cause different way to make color map, As to one model, one color map, So you still need to learn use Photoshop or Substance Painter, IF you want to make a really fantastic model and painting, I recomand you (i donot know it’s polite or not) to learn Substance painter for your coloring.
Plus, Make a real car maybe cause somany trouble because the inner things, and maybe you need to find some files about the car inside.
