that's it , I'm completely convinced on the psycho part ,
but don't worry, I won't tell our mutual friends user added image

snowboarder , I might be wrong as I'm a complete noob but I would think this just a Phong or PhongE shader coloured

Gforce, it looks phenomenal!

How do you handle the thickness of the model? Are the edges curved in to give the illusion of thickness in the "plates" or do you model the backside of each "plate"? Does that make sense?

Also you have some beautiful curves that can transform into sharp edges. How do you do this with nurbs? Do you create your seam there and have a separate nurbs surface or do you clump CVs? Looking at the suspension I can't figure it out.

Do you know how many nurbs surfaces you have there?

Forum_snowboarder33 yup ya can have the shader will drop ya a PM for your email and i'll send it to ya

contrast as for thickness ot all depends on were it is eg back of front wing is panel bent round to give it thickness but at the arch and seam at the bumper that is a circular fillet and trim

Also you have some beautiful curves that can transform into sharp edges

Gforce he's right you know, this is TRULY amazing work, how do you have enough time on you're hand to model EVERY SINGLE PART!?!? You really HAVE to find an Xray shader and render it out, so we can see all the parts (when you're done). I say a kid do this with a gun he made. It was a cool gun, and there were a couple of pics, and the last one was a transparent blueish, and you could see he modeled all the innards of the gun!!! I was quite a plesent surprise!
