These are not renders, these are straight unedited screenshots from Zmodeler (www.zmodeler.com).
Here is something I started working on out of boredom. I already had a dragster chassis I created before, but it was not made for this car. I imported my 72 Chevelle WIP model, and wheels from my 70 Chevelle(See gallery topic) to make this:

The chassis had to be reshaped to fit under the Chevelle model, Wheels were reshaped and resized, and a hole had to be cut onto the hood. This is an early WIP, I have not textured any part of the chassis, and the Chevelle model needs all the 3d parts created for it. I'm not going to work on it anymore past this for a while, I want to get better at texturing odd parts like the engine and other 3d details before finishing this. I cant use single colors like you high poly modelers, I have to make actual detailed textures and apply them just right, hehe.
The engine by itself is 1858 polys, Polycount for the entire chassis(including engine) is 7697. Chevelle body is 1827, wheels are 1654, for a grand total of 16142 polys. With all the 3d parts still needing to be created, I expect this to be around 20k polys when finished.
This is not meant to be a photorealistic model when finished, I want this to be a high detail/low poly model, that could be used in a game if desired. while 20k polys is a bit much for some games to handle, Ive seen cars released with more polys than that, newer games with newer video cards can handle this beast ingame.
What do you guys think so far. You have any suggestions for the model(other than making it a million polys, hehe<--I use this because using emoicons means less pictures I can post.. grr), please post them.
