Hi !

Generaly your car is looking very good (that's your first car model - right ?) but honestly you ned a lot more work to make it correct and belivable if you want realism ?

For instance oyu miss some key things on car :

You don't have blinkers, no rain whipers also, hood and bumper are totoaly connected to car (no gaps) and so on.

Keep the good will and you'll get it nice. YOu just need little more work and it will be much better ;).

This is looking really good. I agree with Lewis on some of the detail issues (tho I believe I can see the rain wipers). I'm fairly new to LW modeling and texturing, so take my critique with a grain of salt and double check/ask others about any 'help' that I give. The first thing that I noticed that was 'off' was the finish of the car. It seemed to me that the finish was too reflective and that too much of the background color shows up in the finish. You might want to try lowering the 'reflection' value and increasing the 'diffuse' value. Generally, I try to keep those values so that they total up to 100%. In other words if I have my reflection value set to 60%, I will have my diffuse value set to 40%. I can't tell you what a good value to set these to would be since I've never modelled a car before! (That's going to be a future project...I think I will try to model my friend's Lotus Esprit, a very sweet car!) Hope this info helps!

Hey si kick, this is looking really good! I'm glad you took the blur off of the wheels since the detail is really great there. The finish looks a lot better. Keep up the good work!

Like Lewis said you still need to segment up the front end up as it is not all in one piece in real life, for example it will be very difficult to open the hud, as there are no seems when the metal is separated. Btw looks better in the black. :)
