How can I make a model car?
Where should I start to realize such a model?
I already have the tools necessary but I can't make it.
Please help me.
 
It is easy to create cars in gmax by using a side view image of a car as your reference. Create a 1x1 plane, expand it by following your reference, extrude, then mirror the extruded geoset. After these processes, you will create the wheels. Unwrap the model, apply textures, export using dexporter. open the model in mdlvis. The textures used are lost but you can regain those textures by using the magos model editor. You can also notice that the normals look terrible, just click reverse normals and it will be ok.

This might be a little confusing if you are new to modelling. I will make a very brief tutorial about this IF I HAVE TIME TO DO SO.
