Well this is an old project that I'm ashamed to say has been sitting on my HD for years. I know atleast 2. This was my first car in max. IMO this was one of the hardest cars to model so I thought why not. But I lost interest and it fell into a folder in my max waiting for such a day. Well with my new mapping knowledge on hand and the Aston mostly finished I thought why not try a bit more magic on it.

I chose this vehicle out of my many others for a few reasons.
1. it had waited patiently.
2. This is a road version BUT if I remodel some areas, and add a few things I could make it the race car, which in turn would give me a chance to try to do a livery for the car.

As it is now it is in its first version ever. This is the actually full carbon version which was featured in NFS2. I did play with carbon but I need to figure out how to make it look carbon, but at the same time not be so bright at the top when I bake it. I did a few new things to the model, such as cleaning up areas, rounding things out. I particularly focused on the headlights. I detached the insides of my lights leaving only the round shape of them. I then took a chamfer and did the edges, followed by a msmooth on the new inner edge. This helped keep the poly structure the way I had it when I initially modeled it. Anyhow enough blubbering, as it stands its 31k polys. Ive kept the same spokes, but added new wheel/tire to it. I went in and soft chamfered every edge that required it as well. I'll probably start on the interior soon, it shouldn't be too bad since its so easy and has no backseats hehe.
