thanks m8, after I get feedback on this update, i'll send it to you for renders :wink:
----------------------------
Here is a little bitty update. It would be helpful for someone to point out all the normals problems, because I know there are many. This area gave me so much trouble with normals :x
But before the pictures, here's a list of things I've skipped for now, and will have to come back to later:[list][*]Seam in windshield frame (near door) [*]Smoothen the crease on the front (thanks nighteye :wink: )[*]Seam behind side air intake (thanks nighteye :wink: )[*]Normals problem on top[*]Replace rear light textures (thanks nighteye :wink: )[*]Rear normals (please help me out with this)[/list:u]

and here are the images:







Once again, please help me out with where you see normals problems
thanks

[NightEye]

Looks better and better

[EuropaCar]

thanks guys
yeah nighteye the way i had the polies on the seam arranged (with respect to the ones on the rest of the body in that area) didn't allow me to continue the seam all the way to the end of the intake, so i have to make the seam i think in the next poly row up, and i haven't done that yet

comments?
bringing up this old topic with 3 teeny updates
well the glass above the lights was changed, but it only looks good with silver, so it won't be final
i finally finished the seam (i think) behind the air intake
there's a slight normals update around the area where the intake first starts slanting inward




but i have a question: can anyone find a good picture of the car like where if i were sitting in the driver's seat, and i turned around, and took a shot of in between the decklids... i can only find that area in shots taken from the rear
cause on my prints, there are two lines in that area and, although i don't see any in pictures, i know that something is there, and i need to find out

thanks nighteye
so from those pics it looks like there's a slight hump aft of the headrests and in front of the engine? :?
and a few slight updates:

[EuropaCar]

like these textures?
--comments please

[NightEye]

The inner one should be the most brightest, not the outer one like you got

The rest looks great

[EuropaCar]

thanks nighteye
like this you mean? cause the textures i used had them in the way i had them first, but if this looks better or more accurate, then i'm ok with that :wink:

[EuropaCar]

well i finally got around to finishing that glass cover above the engine (exept for textures and possibly a seam between the darker area and the pure glass--not the encompassing tint, but the i think mesh sides when they come to the glass)
here are pics of that:

Well, I think almost all Spiders have them like this, so I guess this is fine now
Unless you've got like 30 pics of it with the lights the way you had them first.. :roll:
I really like that blue colour btw And sweet work yet again

[EuropaCar]

thanks nighteye
don't worry i believe you :wink:

[NightEye]

Care to tell how many polies that is? 8o
It's totaly amazing! 8o

[size=9px]I just think the black is a bit too thick [/size]
