Restart, then do virus and spyware scan. Leaving your PC on cannot only leave it running sluggish for that reason, but it also leaves you open to attack as you're connected to the network or are online.

I also use a program called TuneUp Utilities 2006 which I use to clean up my registry and any redundant files from uninstalled programs etc, which keeps things running smooth, esp max as max is a very bloated program. The .max files themselves are are also very bloated. If you zip one up you'll be surprised on hom much they compress!

I'm very big on keeping my PC clean and tidy and so far I have had no disasters with max like many others do encounter.

Thanx for the tips. I'm running WinXP Borg Edition, which already comes tidier and is faster. however i do believe AVG might not be the best antivirus around.

Anyway here's the car's specs anda bit of trivia

!.2 Turbocharged SOHC, 8 valves, 108HP
Torque: 106NMs @ 3000RPM
3-speed manual and automatic

The car could easily take one cars like the Mazda 323 Familia Turbo, Ford Laser S Turbo, Mitsubishi Cordia Turbo and Toyota Celica ST and Daihatsu Cahrade Turbo, all from 1984.

It was introduced in europe as the Jazz, since Opel owned the name City at that time.
So if anyone has a Jazz, now you know its origin

[Palex]

began texturing

[revelli]

nice, this is really good
but i thinkt, that your seems are too dark

[Palex]

thanx

Its the normal thing i use to do for Racer

[clix101]

Looks great

[ML]

Looks great, waiting for more

[NightEye]

Textures look really great sofar

[Palex]

uhoh... it seems i was counting quads and not tris, so i actually have +-7000 polies!
I'll try to cut the exceeding 2K, but i can't promise anything

[Palex]

So i'm officially replacing this project with a new one: VW Corrado G60 '91

[Silent][Moebius]

why not go and try to model the same car all over again but trying to achieve your new goal?

[Zinni]

Yeah i like that idea! Replace the Honda with the Corrado, you won't regret it!
Seriously the model looks awesome, the textures too, this is just a nice car! But a little much polies for lowpoly...
Then we have three people, who are making a Corrado!
ME, 50 Cent and you! Woohoo

Greets Zinni

[Palex]

hehe a Corrado copetition then mine is the '91 version...although i dunno if there's a big difference between that and the '89
Slinet: that would be too much work and beside that City model is going into Racer with a nice interior and rims

OH, could some mod change the title of this thread? Thanx

[Zinni]

Oh no there's no difference between the 91 and 89 version! the new model is from 93 till 95 i think.
Hmm i don't need competition, because there shouldn't be a competition between VWs! Oh and you are going to make a low poly version aren't you? So our two versions can't be compared really.
Oh and btw, if you have questions about the corrado, i'm glad if i can help you!
Will you tune it? Or stock?

Greets
Zinni

[Palex]

Let's transfer this talk into my new thread
I will keep it stock at first, then will probably tune it slightly

Lol, see, we told you you weren't gonna make it with a car looking like that
But good you're taking it this well: another car just means more practice & fun. ANd this one looked good, even though it is one helluvan ugly car

[Palex]

i'm a sucker for weird and ugly japanese cars
