Let's find out the issues & challenges we have faced & managed to overcome during the set up. In this tutorial we are going to divide the blueprint inside Photoshop with the help of the scale map we generated inside 3ds Max. We are going to import the clipped new images from Photoshop and set up our scene references inside Blender 3.22. Blender still lacking the clipping or cropping feature in the import references feature, this why we had to use Photoshop for the editing. Blender also lacks the measure calibration feature. Blender is a fast growing & promising software. However, it misses the organizing features offered by other software like 3ds Max & Maya. all these programs are not used either for product designing or manufacturing. CAD software is the industrial standard for that kind of tasks. The only reason we need to model cars inside Blender is when we need to control the amount of polygons required to represent the model. In short sentence when you are designing assets for games or real time rendering. Car designs used in movies or post rendered projects may be designed in polygon based software but designing them inside CAD software is much easier, where you don't have to worry about poly count and curve editing. Keep in mind you still can model your car in CAD software and import it to Blender but it will be converted to poly based model and lose its CAD features.
