Subject: Need help/advice on modeling cars. I am using Bryce and Anim8or.

I've been fooling around with Bryce and Anim8or and having fun in the process. Before I found Anim8or I was making cars only using the boolean method (as true Brycers usually do.) But after a while, Bryce couldn't quite deliver on what I wanted regarding compounded contour shapes.

Then I found this nifty freeware mentioned here at the modeling forum called Anim8or. This was great, since it was free and was pretty much the simple and essential core of a modeling program - thus occupying little precious space on my old Presario's 4gig HD.

So I've fooled around and got ok results, but I'd like to do something a bit more detailed when using Anim8or. I can box build a car, but I'm not sure how to "part it out" so to speak. Any advice on how to do a build up using Anim8or would be nice. Some parts like wheels aren't all important though, as it's easier to make them in Bryce. Seems I end up doing a hybrid .3ds or .obj with Bryce booleans. Anyone familiar with this?

I'm putting up some links to images that I made showing Bryce/Anim8or cars. So you can see what I'm talking about and offer some advice.
