Lowpoly Contest :: Ferrari F355 coupé

Started it today, a couple of hours work already. Don't plan on winning or anything, but this is a good chance to try some new stuff and actually be forced to finish something.
Remarks are more than welcome !

Oh yeah, tri count is at 914 right now.

i would recommend to remove so polygons from your front bumper, there are 3 edge rows very close together and try to add more polies to the wheel arches

Thanks for the suggestions, i already removed some rows on the roof. The bumper is a bit more work, but i'll get to that. The wheelarches are fine though, i think, I usually go only two subdivisions higher for higher poly models, so this should do fine.

I still see quite a few place to reduce poly, so I'll get to a lot of optimizing once the body is all done.

Thanks for the comments. I prefer modelling it more loosely and then coming back afterwards to optimize, more fun & easier.
But still, I seem to be on schedule: 2000 for the body, it's at some 1400 right now, with 3 quarters of it done.

And the body is all done, with rims that need a bit more attention. Everything clocks in at 2748: 217 a wheel, 1884 for the body.
Now to reduce that a bit more, though i'm still on schedule: 1000 for the wheels, 2000 for the body was my goal.

Seeing you can easily reduce that number.. Leaves more space for a ful interior Or perhaps an engine?
What's your polylimit?

Nice work, I'll await the next poly-cutting update
