The project is to create a model in Maya using orthographic drawings and photographs of an object. My object is an Aston-Martin Vanquisher. Through my first many attempts I became more familiar with the controls while learning how to create planes from curves and surfaces from planes. A main struggle was understanding how to use the settings correctly when creating an image plane. The image kept importing in locked so that it would not zoom with the drawn objects. Also my different views would import at different sizes.
That aside, I began trying to model the car as a plane shaped to the side view. I then took that shape and lofted it to a duplicate to create the overall form of the car. I encountered some struggles in getting the top surface of the car to be editable and also thought this might not be the best approach. I am currently working on the bending the side view along a curve established by the front view drawing.
