Thanks everyone,

I have never used Image Based Lighting before and wondered if I could make a scene of it, this is why I left it visible. In retrospect I rekon a little more practice is needed so I have taken your advice (Magicsy and Blomkaal) and removed the background. Here are the new renders, enjoy.

Take it easy,

Mat.

the front grill is wrong
its too big
right now it kinda looks more like the concept version of it
looks a little different now

also different rims on it
and you are missing the logo on the front of the car

model looks good though, just some minor stuff

Yeah I know what you mean about the rear lights, I'll see to them when I have a bit of time.

The front of the car was mentioned in the WIP forum and I agree about it being higher than the production version of the car, It is dead on with the blueprints I was using though, I'm not sure how accurate they are but they were the best I could find on the net (they are posted in the WIP forum). I was using both concept and production models as photo reference, some aspects from each have filtered down into my final model (fins on the front intakes, body panel creases, 8 spokes rather than 12 on the alloy etc.).

There is a badge on the front of the car, but I have just noticed that I have forgotten the door handle though, I'll fix that when I do the rear lights.

Thanks for your comments,

Mat.

That car is so BAD-ASS! I want it. You should make a racing video or something with more cars like that one, that would be bad-ass...

You've really shown your "skrills" in the making of this model. (Skrills, I can explain in further detail if asked user added image

Thanks Sephiroth II and Shadeblede,

I never planned on animating this model but I suppose it is something that I could think about for the future.

Well, I remember participating in Skills Canada 2005, and there was a hypnotist performance the night before. Before he started the performance, he "thanked everyone for coming to Edmonton this year and said it was a good chance for us to show everyone our skrills.. err, skills in this competition, so welcome to Skrills Canada!" user added image
