How do I make a car?

I made a scalawagon prototype in TinkerCad, an on-line boolean modeler.

(See my attached picture showing the surface chunky facetedness of it's boolean construction.)

Now I want to make a better version that does not have the flaws of boolean modeling. How do other people make decent car models?

well it depends on what software you want to use

you can box model then add smoothing in Hexagon and Carrara

you could make it in Carrara's spline room possibly but I don't know how

or out of metaballs

you could use Sculptris and model it like clay

or software that uses NURBS which many car modellers seem to prefer

Here is a youtube channel with lots of Hexagon tutorials

Believe it or not, the Carrara 5 Handbook has a Hexagon tutorial on modeling a car.

Thanks, y'all. I'll look into those.
