yea i agree, fantastic detail. I really like the model. How long have you spent on it so far?

There's nothing normal about normals. In FACT i think the are abnormal.

its very high off the ground, thoes hot rods were very low to the ground.
very nice work, very real looking paint and textures

and i dont like that gate protecting the blower belt, looks tacky, i like to see the belt just raw wide open unprotected

sorry been busy with things and forgot to check update this here

thanks for the replies time spent has been spread over the last month lots of bumps along the road lots of remaking bits

hight is simply a matter of personal tast really normally the lower rods have extended chassis simple search will show plenty of this hight ............ yout coment is very welcomed and there will be a lowered version amongst a few styles i have in mind for this project

wouldn't mind some advice as far as rendering/shaders go on this thing been playing around with a paint scheme this is only a temp tryout but would apreciate some feedback on it

thanks in advance

Looks excellent, you obviously invested a lot of time into this project.

The only thing I would do at this point, as I'm sure you'll continue to tweak this to no ends...would be to beef up that occlusion pass (if you have one....) I'm assuming this was rendered in mental ray. It would make a world of a difference. The shaders (on the engine specifically) are a little too clean.

Sometimes I'll cheat and render an occlusion pass with a low sampling setting just to make things look a little grungy, provided there are no stellar closeups.

Good job, keep it up.

thanks for taking some time out to coment and the advice Co0KiEmAn

time: been at it for just over a month and a bit so far

your next paragragh just went well above my head and knowhow :attn:

this is were i fail when it comes to finnishing things off all i done render wise is use IBL set the FG a bit and hit the render button

can you explain this occlusion pass a little more as i've not a clue what it is {will go do a search and see what i can find out meantime}} this is first time i've really pushed something as far as shadeing and rendering is involved and i'm doing my best to get as good a final render as is possible so any futher help would be massivly welcomed

TiA
