I loved your fiat from renderosity.

anyway not much to say now, maybe when its a little farther along.

[slouchcorp]

Try this: select the mesh, rightclick, optimize, maybe there's a couple vertexes you lost control on

[slouchcorp]

My mantra has become "Align normals" > "Optimize" when modelling now lately :)

Mike.

[slouchcorp]

heres an obj no hypernurb or symmentry so you should be able to edit it faily well (havent tryed).

cheers Mike.

[JIII]

.obj converts everything to ploys anyway so its probibly fine.

[AdamT]

It looks excellent so far, but I think you're going to have to rework this: http://bellsouthpwp.net/A/d/AdamTrachtenberg/bmw_wire.jpg
That 5-edge point's going to make it hard to keep a smooth surface.

[slouchcorp]

thanks adam sorted now hopefully should be ok.

Mike.

[randyrives]

Looking good. Thanks for the Shell download. I am looing at it now and dissecting it.

The mesh is good, and I think I am going to learn alot from it.

[slouchcorp]

hey randy hows things? cheers mate, glad you can get some use out of it i can put up the final later if you would like.

Cheers mike.

[AdamT]

The modeling looks great, but the materials need mucho work. Also, if you have 8.1 you should use the new Phong break feature along the edges that shouldn't receive smoothing. It makes a big difference.

[JIII]

Looking totally sweet.

I think thirdeye had the forumla for great car paint in his murceliago thread somewhere.

anyway its really looking good.

and I also learned tons and tons from that shell you posted.

[That Adrian Guy]

Slouch!!! You rule!

You're mesh ownz!!!

Frankly, I think you should use some fake HDRI. make sure you include refections in the texture!!

Come on!!! atleast post a test render!!!!

w00t!

[slouchcorp]

http://www.slouchcorp.batcave.net/z3_skin_texture1.zip

Thanks for the comments guys ill keep at the texturing and will have a go at HDRI ;) the old spheres easy. it gets a bit harder doing some thing like this.#

heres the full car r8 only sorry the objs not much different.

Ill check out thirds thread see if i can find that cr shader to pull apart.

thanks again for the help Mike.
