Hi all!

I've started a carmodel again, the inspirations for this car comes from being a long time fan of the Carmageddon and Flatout games, so I'm doing this the way I like it.. :)

It's going to be midlevel detailed, meaning I use polys where needed, and waste only if I need to for the design to look good. Also, this is my first proper car model, so I'm not going to get super technical and start with blueprints, references and so on..

For those who don't know what carmageddon and flatout is, here are those links: http://www.flatoutgame.com (http://www.flatoutgame.com/) and http://www.torus.com.au/Pro_TDR2000.htm.

Its being done in MAX8, mostly plane- and boxmodelling and a few compound objects.
I want a lot of crits on this one, if you see something thats technically wrong or looks weird, write it down here..

BTW, textures are preliminary, but it's this kind of dirty, rusty look, combined with 'homemade' modification and styled details I'm going for.

Looks great! I know both games, have played them both alot, and I must say you have done well in getting the carstyle right. I do miss some personality, like the cars from Carmageddon. Some cars had a skeleton head on, others looked like a shark, and so on. If your going for a Carmageddon style, then its a bit too "normal". If its a FlatOut style, then its great.

Maybe some wilder textures, and a bit more details, then its gonna be awesome. Keep it up! :D

Well, details and details.. More stuff, anyway. Steering wheel, nitro, aircondition and CDplayer, and pedals. Also, I shortened the door fenders, they were taking too much space.. The text on the pedals is 'clutch' , '?' and 'Gas'. I might take this away, cause I think its too "Harry" as we Norwegians say. ( ridiculously over the top cool and tough )

Wingless: I'm trying to get some personality into it, but its kind of hard to do without going completely over the top. I'd have to make a 5 meter knife or something and that would just be insane.. Its meant to look like a normally driveable car, so I'll probly do all of that when time comes for textures and finishing touches :)

Anyways, the picture (Sorry about the poor quality) :
