I'm sorry, I don't mean to spoil the fun.
But your textures lack something very important: depth.
Besides that the bodylines are barely visible, look at the front light.

In order to get some depth into it, you should ditch your propably usual nfs/gta/mafia style of mapping.
Map the car body as much in one piece as possible onto a 1024 sheet and bake the mesh as a base. Then start painting some detail into it.

Another point that intrests me is a wireframe view of the mesh and the triangle count. (I hope you didn't spend all 5000 polygons on the exterior like this.)

I'm sorry for these hard words, but it's all the same for your usual models. They're good, modelling wise, but totally lack in the textures-department.

Welcome onboard mate :mrgreen:
Lovely Pugs, the one with stripes is my favorite (club racing look fits the 205 really nice).
Can't wait for interior.

thx for all comments

well it's 3000polys now

and screwdriver: i don't care what you say i want to have fun with modeling and this was the only style of mapping that i can do for keeping my poly count 'low' :x

as if your modeling is perfect

my mafia mapping cars are way different mapped and i don't care about what you said i can't bake textures this is just a 'fake baked tex' the only way i could make 'the fake' baking was this
:x
btw i'm returning my car from the contest thx to you :'( i though it was 'good' in my eyes but hey you can't have everything also i think i know why they call you screwdriver :mrgreen: because you get 'screwed' by a stupid garbage truck driver :mrgreen:
so **** off you stupid screw driver

[maul]

I love your work KVH plz finish this one

[ronaro]

personally i think its class... i love 205's... sure there is something wierd going on with the roof but that can be fixed... i would be well proud of ya achievment.. and personally i would put it back in the contest... dont let one person spoil the experience for ya... *there will always be boo boys with anything anyone does... maybe he had a XR2 and regrets not buying a 205.. who knows.... *hehehehe

[Johnas]

Hmm I don't think Screwdriver was cocky there He just said his opinion and I think you KVH shouldn't get mad about it and drop out of the contest. Please carry on, as he said he doesn't want to spoil the fun of it For me and to many other people they look good and ingame they would look more better actually.
