And this is the mental ray, in case anyone wanted to see the difference. I know i did. A little fractal on the specular makes things look dirty, and remeber use reflections sparingly! It doesn't look good in places like on this stop sign.

vec, you need to change the scale on the gas station. I think that the roof is too low, as well as the beveled entrance (on the sidewalk) into the gas station.. that looks like it is ppl size.

Yea, I dont know what was up w/my pics. I hit reply, and it just sat there and did nothing. So I hit it agian, and waited like, 5 minutes, and still nothing. So I just went to bed. I dont think it finished uploading the pic (which is only 20k, so I dont c how it took that long). Its just 2 Skylines with the Manhatten paintbrush. Vec, dont think Ive ever seen that much reflection off a stop sign before user added image

. Forum, love the Civic Hatch. One thing tho: change the rims. You have those on the S2k (if I remember right..) I thought you were making those Enkei's you showed me the other day? Right now Im working on a Subaru Impreza WRX for Vec. It dosent wanna be made. user added image

HaHa...This is my first appearance in this thread and I think the idea is great.. Wish I could help but, i'm not very skilled... The civic is really nice I think it would look better with some black rims that u normally see on imports around my area, not pitch black but a sorta carbon fiber look... Could anyone maybe help me make my car model outta nurbs I tried making a silhouette but it hasn't worked for me... how is that that you fellas work with it? I would use a silhouette but I can't see the CV curve on top of the reference so i can't create the silhouette, plus i wish i knew if you could manipulate the curves that are already drawn? Sorry to take away your thread space, but other than that this thing is coming along nicely
