Just finished this a few days ago for work, it's still in the review process and needs a few tiny changes that I know of already, but nothing really notable, so I'ma be a rebel and post it anyways. user added image

UV/texturing is being handled by other members of the team, along with the actual import process, so I'll hopefully remember to post again once that happens ;D

Poly limits were:
60kish max for exterior/low poly interior
30k max for high poly interior
200-250k for HD version

Planning to post it again after it's gotten a full QA review/texture/etc. Is taking ages though because everyone's extremely busy right now.

Cheers Ant, hopefully more to come soon. Actually I'll soon be doing one of your country's biggest fist fights... I mean racing series user added image

I can neither confirm nor deny that :p

I plan to do it well, I'll be getting some bloody good reference for it, as someone else has already done these cars for a private client, which the QA guys are absolutely mental about accuracy with :p

The ngons have been fixed since then, and tris are fine since it's a game model. Just as long as they don't mess up the normals smoothing

I could have sworn I posted some kudos on your work on this model but I could not see any post; so although a little late, here you go, excellent work acid!
