Description
Aston Martin DB9Done in 3DS Max
This was my first time using 3DS Max.
Il admit I found it quite tricky to model a DB9 using polys, I now know why Aston Martin claim they build all their cars by hand "Because the shape is too complex for machines"
Looking back I'd rather use a nurb modelling program such as Autodesk Alias which is designed for automotive modelling and a lot easier to create the shape.

That is a very cool render. I'm going to have to learn how to use this software.
Did you use a Wacom drawing pad to make it?

Just using a simple mouse
I used flat planes which I expanded and moved each vertex to fit the shape of the car down one side, mirrored that shape to ensure symmetry then join and smooth.
Looking back id rather use Autodesk Alias then 3DS Max.

Very impressive! I'm working on the same car in 3Ds Max as well (also first time using it), and I must admit some of the views are hard to work on hahaha
I Love the reflections on your car!

Thank You 
If you try using Nurb Modelling like what im doing with the Lancaster Bomber in Autodesk Alias you would probably find it abit easier.
