Hi there… I have been working on and off on this car for some time now, and i think it’s about time for some C & C… This is my second attempt at a car, and I am quite pleased with the results so far… But I would really apreciate if I could get some comments on the flow of the polys…
And a test render in indigo… The tires are not made by me…
my 2nd car was a '86 Honda - you are doing alright for yourself 
the flow looks good, nice model
what are the black panels - looks like a seperate object with the normal facing the wrong way - is that what the car looks like in real life (I haven’t seen one)
Thanks
The black panels are air-intakes… You can see the real car here http://www.carbodydesign.com/archive/2006/10/03-audi-r8/Audi-R8-2-lg.jpg
my second car was a '69 dodge charger. :rolleyes:
yours looks better, but then again i wasn’t very experienced back then.
looking good so far, have fun with headlights 
Thanks venge… The headlights are going to hurt… I have no idea how to start on those
I have worked a little more on the front but it is still not quite there… Fell free to say what you think
I have worked a little on the back of the car… But it still need to clean things up…
From what I see you are doing a great job, the Mesh is held nice and clean…
That is also how you have to go on, because the R8 was the most beautiful car to me the first time I saw it, so honour it!
That is also why this is the first thread on the forums I’ll subscribe ^^
thanks Rinne
The car is a beaty isn’t she… I will do my best to do it justice, but it is going to be hard cause the audi designers really did a magnificant job with this one…
I have done some more modelling of the car and I have a few indigo renders cooking at the moment, so I will update with pictures tomorrow…
a little update… I have started the headlights and made other small adjustments… I’m not quite finished, but thought I would keep you updated…
and a very noisy indigo render…
Edit:
a back render from yesterday… There are some bumps i need to work out, but it’s slowly getting there…
I am currently working on a model of a BMW M-Coupe, and to get the effect of headlights, I created a separate mesh that fit “behind” the headlights, and would reflect some of the light forward, like in real cars. It is white, with a .5 raymir to reflect the light. Not visible in the picture (hidden under the spotlight) is a regular lamp with with a spherical area just slightly bigger than the back of the headlight (I am using the spotlight to project a slight halo, and spots on the ground). I also used 1 vertex of a square to form a “camera glare” effect (only visible in the render).
that last indigo render looks amazing
Thanks Rinne

I will try to put a reflective plane behind the lamp to see what happens and will possibly render a night version tonight to test it out… Thanks for the tips 
Just a tiny update to the front to show that I am still working on this…

A long time without updates… I don’t have time to work so much on this anymore because of exams and some other stuff, so I figured I would give it to you guys… It is not near finished, but take it if you like It can be dl’ed here:
