It's not the shader, it's my poor wavy windshield. I'll redo it later.

Last render for today. I start to be proud of this project with this one

[crazy 989]

very nice man, although your glass is refracting way too much, car glass is not thick enough to cause such a change with photons, so yeah, - fix the glass and its all good

[Nik]

Nothing wrong to say you proud of your model, its indeed looks great .

[LOST]

It looks very good so far. It is lookin' very smooth. Keep it goin'!

[tom120934]

Thanks guys for the comments.

crazy 989, you're right about the windshield/rearshield/side windows. I forgot to give some depth, so the computation of refraction was completely biased. Below is a render with a proper thickness (3mm) and correct IOR (~1.52)

Nik, thanks. I'm not ashamed to say that I can see my skills getting better, because I started from very very low : http://www.smcars.net/forums/work-pr...ighlight=xsara. First CG car ever

LOST, I'll keep it going, for sure. Contests are really helpful for me to free time to properly progress on a given model.

The render below is 4 times bigger than previous ones, to help see details and bumps and problems.

Yet another render, small update : door handle with key hole.

New camera angle, back to small render.

[Rsenal]

Nice work on this beauty! But glass isn't looking good for me! Keep on working!

[Icekid84]

Really some spot on work, I love when people undertake a car that there is so little out there about, it really shows initiative.

[greenvampire]

very nice work so far!

[tiberius]

that model looks so good! nice and sleek shape to this one. and the color (red) is best on this car!

[fskpzns]

I don't have any critics. Car look perfect Tom.

[Erik_S]

the car indeed looks perfect. 5 stars from me! I love it! nothing to critic, it looks smooth as hell, i don't know about accuracy but i think you got it worked out pretty well Keep it up

[tom120934]

Thanks for your comments !

Icekid84, I really agree with you. Even the most interesting car becomes boring when you've see a few WIPs for it. I think I will really stick to rare cars, like my recent projects : RenaultSport Spider, Aston DB9, Ariel Atom etc.

greenvampire, thanks !

tiberius, I've made the following color tests. Feel free to say the one you prefer.

fskpzns, thanks, but it's far from being completed. Stay tuned

Erik_S, thanks. You're the very first one to rate my work, so I really appreciate.

Here are some renders showing different renders. The tire is now modeled, but it's not clearly visible from that point of view.

The last color is the one I used for first modeling of the car, trying to mimic the color of the car presented in the SportAuto review. So the name.

[rcat]

They are all very very nice. My favourite is the last one , the light blue. Don't know why but it just looks right.

[Rsenal]

Yes! the last one is very good, and red one looks pretty too!

[Kran]

Great choice of car
Great model
Great render...

Well done

[tom120934]

Thanks for the comments. I'm glad you like.

Here's a high res render of the light blue one. Only one little update, side mirrors. I noticed how too small they are only the render was complete, so stay tuned for bigger ones.

[Erik_S]

i have to say you really improved yourself with the last models. This looks smooth like hell and also the renders are good! keep it up

[NightEye]

Looking great indeed
Perhaps just work on the seams a bit. Either tidy them up, or make them narrower, I don't know.
Great render indeed!

[Nik]

It looks really sweet Tom, if it wasent for work I woul compete with you .

Good luck and keep the progress like this!
