The tires of your car coming through the body. you should make the edges on the top of the windscreen harder. it looks a bit wrong smoothed to me. doors should still be added. the spoiler should be a bit higher, or where it is on should be lower. it has the same thing as the tires have.

Thank you for the reply ISAF, and i had already noticed all of those errors, this is really a slow moving project, mainly because it's my first vehicle that i am attempting, as well as trying a method of modelling which no-one else has done. basically i lay out the blueprints for the vehicle with 4 planes, then i use the vertex modifier in a mesh to start creating verticies and plotting them about the entire model, until i have a dense enough outline, then i go to the polygon sub object selection and "connect the dots" it takes twice as much time, however it is a method i am quite comfortable with, to correct you on one thing, the tires actually aren't coming through the mesh, it's the shadows being cast...and how i have the shadow map, i dont expect to be posting again soon, because i plan to completely re-work, or ditch this model and start a new one, whatever happens, come back to check up if anyone feels free.:thumbsup:thanks for the crit

that seems like a realy eneffcient method.....

also are you using meshsmooth on it? cuz it appears to have alot of jagged edges,...

also use 2 sided texture,....
