Nice model blake, very good surfaces!

super smooth and clean, lovely model wire?

[blake_spector]

thx again, here's the wireframe

[Xoliul]

Looks almost perfect. I know this one inside out though, so here's what I could spot:
Red is for the outer curve of your headlights, it's a bit too rounded on yours.
Green is the crease on the side. Yours is almost a direct drop downwards, but in real life, it slopes a bit first, then goes down. I drew a profile of what I mean enxt to it.
Yellow means this curve is too wide, it's a bit sharper in real life.
Blue is where you're obviously missing the centre piece of the inlet.
Pink is to show you that that should be thicker: your metal seems to be like 1 cm thick, while it's about double that size in real life.
And finally, I didn't draw this one on, the edges of your "bulges" on the corners of the front bumper are too sharp, as you can see on the refpic.

And that's it. Should be real easy to fix

[blake_spector]

alright, xoliul thanks for your help and the ref-pic. 4 eyes do see more than 2

btw i purposely didnt model this little thing on the "trunk" yet, i did put it in the 'detail section' so it will come later

Not bad, but i hate this car. I modeled it back in the day. Couldnt get this very accurate. But nice job and good luck on accuracy. No crit about that from me because i still choose to not look and compare this car lol.

[Xoliul]

Man, I love this car. When I was a kid, the F355 just equalled "Ferrari" to me, and now I still keep hoping to once own one (not that impossible, you can find them for about 50.000€ these days, that's like a high end Volvo XC90)
It definitely wasn't hard to model once I got to look at the real one.

[blake_spector]

tried to perform the suggestions.
this is what i came up with.

besides, i love this car as well. for me still one of the greatest ferraris (355 and 575m superamerica )

youk now black is a really good color to hide your details :roll:

do some clay renders so we can see more it looks nice though from what i can see.

[blake_spector]

you're right but its non the less a great color for that car

did clay renders of frontend and side anyway.

it seems really hard to catch the exact curves and bends of the real shape..

[Power^Steer|nG]

awsome...mind blowing....

[Xoliul]

Looks almost 100% accurate now. The hardest part for me were the bulges on the front bumper, and the way the rear quarterpanels curve into the spoiler.

[blake_spector]

thanks guys, i try to reach 99,9%

btw here's another clayrender, i'm not very satisfied with the front bulges yet.

[Xoliul]

Outside edges might need a little bit more definition.
Also, I think the top corners of your grille opening might be a bit too sharp.

[blake_spector]

yes, thats the ref pic i was searching for thx

and you are right with the upper grill corners. gonna fix it.
according to the ref pic i also think that the the bottom part of the front bumper is more bend "inside" the car.

its weekend, i got plenty of time, i'm looking forward to show you next renders

[Xoliul]

Hey no problem, my refpics seem to be even more valuable to you because there is no 5000 poly limit
