How do you model when blueprints are not correctly or accurate?

Boklin

I am just started to learn modeling, this is huge change to me, as i am learning new stuff. But whatever i do, seems my blueprints/referenced images, taken from theblurpints.com are always off, either from one view or 2.

How do i continue do model this? I am not sure how to approach this, or even how to continue:D

Creativity. A lot of times concepts I've worked off have parts which don't make sense, or don't really work, and you just need to have fun and be a little creative.

You fill in the gaps with your own interpretation or "fixes."

Game art tends to be less about simulation, and more about "does it work?"

Those blueprints are usually hand drawn from pictures/measurements. You'll always find inaccuracy, especially with curved surfaces. It's almost impossible to draw a 100percent accurate plan without a 3d model. So you have to mix, give priority to the views with minimal distorsion, double check against pictures...My father does wood boat scales, and he has the same issues. But it's a lot harder to fix than 3d...

Yeah quality can vary across the board, so I now tend to prise open the wallet and pay extra for a .svg file (vector drawing) thats if there's one available of the target set of ortho refs or alternatively prep the scanned image in either Gimp or Photoshop.

Anyway if interested here's an in depth walkthrough on prepping an image via Gimp, the author really put alot of thought into the process, IMO a great technique correcting distortion errors and more.
