| What
Programs to Use |
I would
recommend Z-Modeler (www.zmodeler.com),
a great freeware program that is easy to learn and use.
JP
Racing has made some great online video tutorials about
constructing cars using this program.
Ryan T
also has also made a great Z-Modeler Guide |

| Rendering
In Z-Modeler |
| Well
Z-Modeler isn't the best program to render in, but it can do some decent
mimick renders. Here's a quick guide how to.. |
|
|
Firstly,
start by making a thin cube underneath the car.
|
|
|
Give
the cube a grey color, and make it semi-transparent
|
|
|
Then,
working with the Y axis, make a copy
of the car, and drag it underneath the cube.
|
|
|
Reorient
the car underneath, and then move it so its sitting just underneath the
'floor'
|
|
|
Move
the car under the floor above the floor in the parts list
|
|
|
You
should now have your Z-Mod 'Render'
