if you need high res pics of this car i can get some, next door neighbour has one, i can do some recon lmao.

as i said before good work

[prophet1006]

Now I am jealous on your neighbour
No, really, thanks for that offer! It would be nice if you could do some pics of the frontlights. I havn't any really good of them.
For the rest I think I have good reference. I was to my Mazda dealer and he gave me 4 different brochures of the car.

They looks fantastic.

[andybuck]

ok ill devise a way of not looking suspicious when snooping around his car lol, ill try to remember to do it before i go out 2moro night ill write myself a note.

[clix101]

lights look amazing, just like the rest of the car

[S W I P S]

looking like a nice start

[prophet1006]

Thanks.

I've tried to begin with the interrior of the car. I havn't made a car with open doors before. I think it's not very easy.... here is what I've done so far.

@andybuck: Have you made the photos? Would be very cool.

[prophet1006]

very small update...

and a rendering of the Mazda sign

greetings

[andybuck]

very nice badge and door about the photos, ill try and do it today, i was out last night playing poker and i had some *cough* lemonades im waiting for my dad to park his car next to theirs so it does look so wierd lol

[prophet1006]

Ok. And don't get yourself in trouble

I've tried around with the doors and made a small animation with them. Well, rear door still needs a lot of work, but I thought it's enough to show.

And a preview pic....

[clix101]

wow! that animation is perfectly realistic keep up the great work

[prophet1006]

Small update... I've finished the doors so far. But I don't have much time to model imo, so the rest of the interrior could take some time.

[NightEye]

This really brings the model to live
Nice work!

[mpfive]

lovely model... its one of the best rx8 models i've seen

[prophet1006]

Thanks!

Now I've done the rims. Breaking system is already in progress. But the tire texture is only temporary, I'm actually searching for a better one.

[garethgeezer]

WOW! Looking great. Nice to see a bit of animation too.
Model is amazing and I really like your wheel material. Fantatic work

[revelli]

you have done good job so far on the model
and i like your wheel, materials are also very good
but on the tire tread, there is very strong - unrealistic bumps

[Prykie]

yeah the bumps on the sidewall doesnt look very real, fix that up and it will look awesome

[S W I P S]

i agree with him
looks really clean and nice ... great job man
