Could someone tell me, what´s the link for the wheel, which Jonathan told at the beginning? I don´t understand that. Thanks Hi guys.

However, when I used the fixed count to complete the tire, the size of the tire got distorted. It began to look like a short fat go cart tire. The same thing happened to me.

I've been following them religiously for a month now and am loving them. A quick clarification on extruding the spokes at 21:51 in the video, you extrude the hub rim, you extrude it towards the cursor which is at the center of the wheel. This facilitates the extrusion of the spokes. Just thought I'd mention that over here since it took me some time to realise it (I'm a noob). I kept extruding the rim towards the center of the hub which made the spokes flat (2D). Here's my version so far: http://i37.tinypic.com/2ugyq11.jpg Thanks so much for these tuts Jonathan.

They are really helpful for beginners like me. As for this part of the series, it's awesome too. By modeling tire this way, it's easy to change anything you want without much hassle. This is what I got following this tutorial (except for actual thread modeling): http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/5350/render04.jpg And for me curve modifier worked fine. Kinda. Just one question tho. When I added Array and chose Fit to curve length, it was working fine. But as soon as I added Curve, it was rotating around the circle nicely, but the Fit to curve length stopped working. Thread covered like 1/5 or 1/6 of the circle. Scaling the circle made no difference. Except it was bigger and thread covered even smaller part of it. It's not much of a problem as I just used Fixed count instead, but I wonder why this happened. In video it was all nice, it covered all circle, not just part of it. By the way, I'm still using blender 2.49. And as for rim modeling, I do understand this was just to show the technique, but it can't be applied to all rims. Just as that 7-spoked rim I made. I see no way how it can be done with mirror modifier. First of all, thanks for these series. They are really helpful for beginners like me.

Scroll down on the panel and you will see one of the dropdown menus called background Image. I think you will figure out the rest by yourself.

I go to properties and check background image yet it doesn't give me a way to load it. I just started the Porsche tutorial part 6 and it starts off using the new interface. But how do I add the reference image to the scene? How do I add a background reference image in Blender 2.5 Alpha.
