Comments are welcome.

UPDATE:

[revelli]

nice, but on the 1st render, the car is missing shadows

[clix101]

Second render looks really good, keep it up your improving well aswell

[darth carth]

the tires in that side view looks very strange, they seem to have these stripes on the side wall...
Otherwise nice low poly model

[Silent][Moebius]

well there are lot's of normals probs here and there, i guess they aren't welded so that is why you get those reflection errors.

but you seem to have made good progress since your other project.

This is not a 1948 Porsche 356 1100, but some kit car (and an ugly one if you ask me). This how a '48 356 looks: http://www.butzi.cz/modely/48_356_11...00_coupe_1.jpg

Regardless, you've improved noticeably. Now for some better materials & refelctions in your renders as well as more AA

Thanks for all the wonderful comments!

This is not some kit car, it is the Mid Engined Porsche 356.00.103 Roadster (that never went into production) I got the blueprints from http://www.smcars.net/forums/porsche...-roadster.html .
And these renders were made with Zmodeler so there were no shadows.
And I still can't figure out the strange problem with the stripes on the wheels.
Its a pretty low poly model, with only 6,000 polies (targeted for computer games and also to run smoothly on lousy computers with 256MB of RAM such as my school computer)

Here, I have prepared a wireframe for you!

I think your polyflow isn't very optimal, and that that is the reason your reflections are strange. Try to look at other people's wireframes here to make your own conclusions.

Also, I'm still having trouble believing this thing was official. I've never before seen a 356 that comes even close to resembling that thing. They did indeed build a 356 roadster with a mid-engine, called "Model 1", but it didn't look as different from the basic 356-look as this one does. Well anyway, not that i desperately want to prove you wrong, I just think it's strange. It's either a drawing that never made it off the board or it's a kitcar interpreted as official by the blueprint donater (in the first case I wonder how the hell he got it?).

Like you said a drawing that never got off the drawingbaord but the blue prints could have leaked out...

[Mimigu]

Er, can anyone give any suggestions for making polyflow more "Optimal"?
