As a huge beamer fan i can only say, very nice render, like the light alot. And the model, there isnt much to say there either, it looks really good so far. Looking forward for updates

p.s

Can anyone explain or post a guide how to mix render and wireframe as in this picture?

You can use a plugin such a EdgeMap. It's simply a map that goes in the diffuse slot and colors all your edges or you can do it the hard way ...

Unwrap the UVW-map, color the edges and apply it as a texture ... but that's kind of lame since EdgeMap does a good job

Looking good, RMachucaA. Damn, you're quick..

[RMachucaA]

hehe, thanks bluestar.

As for mixing the render with wire, VERY easy. follow these quick steps.

Do a render region, or render out a regular pic, then using the same camera from which you rendered, do a screen cap (print screen does fine), then open photoshop, go file>new>ok, then just paste the screen cap, after that, bring the render in, put it on a layer on top of the screen cap, and play with the opacity. Voila!

Added a reflection test movie if anyone wants to see it.
2 megs, .Avi

The model is very nice, and congrats on an impressive looking render

[NightEye]

Ditto that

But one thing: The wires in the movie are very thick.. That's a bit of a shame...

[RMachucaA]

Well, expect an update tonight, right now im headed out for the montreal auto show :-)

[RMachucaA]

UPDATE:

7500 Triangles total, still need to do interior details and brake stuff.

[Sinnet]

Looks great! I like it! But two things: the front bumper isn't CSL's and rims too. look at this picture -

[RMachucaA]

the holes in the front bumper are yet to be done, but thanks for reminding me :-P

As far as the wheels go, i have a lot of pics, and the wheels differ from car to car.

[Icekid84]

Great job so far on the Beamer, the car looks great, I look forward to further developments.
