    I'm a complete n00b at Blender. I watched some tutorials. I want to practice modelling, and hopefully do something good. I'm sure the BeamNG community knows something.

    Thanks for any advice!

    Make a Hummer H1

    I couldn't imagine many cars that are easier to model than that. It has no curves and is one of the most square vehicles i know of off the top of my head. Or you could make Jeff from Top Gear that would be even easier.

    Don't start with a car if you're new to blender. Model simple objects before moving onto more complex ones like cars.

    Honestly, If you want the easiest of easy to not only model, but to make a JBeam for as well would probably be this... the Dome Zero... there is literally nothing to it... I honestly don't even think there are any curves on the body at all... like period. The most curved things are the front wheel arches and the windshield and I don't know if I would even call the windshield a curve.

    As already mentioned starting with a car which has a simple form is definitely the easiest. (From my own experience, don't start with a old Porsche or similar ;))
    The most important thing is having proper blueprints though, in decent resolution and from the front, top, back and side of the car. Without proper blueprints you won't have a good time.
    Random example:

    Also take a car which you like, otherwise you won't be motivated to work on it after a short time.
    Good luck :).

    Anything that is boxy preferably with a boxy interior as well, Here are some good examples. Some are a little harder than others.

    First step: Think about what you want to post. Take time over it if you need to. Keep in mind that thousands of people will read your posts and you waste a lot of people's time if you just write things like "lol" or "I like". Remember to search before you post, it can be tiresome to answer the same question over and over. Check our FAQ.
