Some quick questions regarding lesson 7
3:20 PM, Saturday December 16th 2023
Hey, I recently started lesson 7 and while I don't feel as overwhelmed as I was scared that I will be, there is a number of specific questions I've got to ask.
-
Non of the demos cover it , however I found that the easiest way for me to fit my orthographic breakdowns into a box, is to put it in the middle, instead of the side. This is how Uncomfortable did it in the computer mouse demo in lessons 6. Is it ok if this is how I do all my vehicles, or should I avoid using an easier, but perhaps not as useful for this exercise method?
-
In the demos, Uncomfortable finds the perfect circle for wheels in orthographic view, usually by using a tool designed for that. Can I also use a ruler to measure that first perfect square for the circle, or do I have to eyeball it?
-
Intro video and demo for 1967 Shelby Mustang Demo uses photoshop to break down the reference. Is this something I can do digitally too, or should I avoid digital even for this process?

I use The Crew: Motorfest to get most of my references. It's a video game with extremely convincing models of 600+ licensed cars, planes, boats, motorbikes, etc. The reason I use models from that game specifically, is because I recently bough I and I've been playing it a lot in the last few weeks, but I feel like there might be a better game to get references from. Forza uses slightly more detailed model, but The Crew already has more tiny parts and screw for me to ever need, so I'm not necessarily asking what game has the most faithful and realistic vehicle models, but does anyone know what game might have even better options to display and analyze cars in 3D?
Thanks for any responses.
