Mini Steps 1 Create a box to the right overall size
3.6 x 1.9 x 1.5 meters Set up a viewport background
Calibrate the background image Make the images have the same heights/widths of
the object and centred on the object Make sure that your calibration box is centred on
the origin Create the body
Create a box Convert to a poly Extrude a number of times

Questions You have been asked to model a
mini car for use in a game Describe the steps you would take in
planning the model List at least three sources you could
use to research how to build your model
Discuss and evaluate 3 different methods to model the car, make a recommendation for one
Describe how you would reduce the file size of the mesh
