Hi I have been working on a AUDI R8 and this is what i got so far. I wanted to finished it first and than put it in finished projects but i decided to make a WIP thread. I know that the model of the car is almost finished but i am pretty sure that there is a lot of room for improvement. And i still have to setup lights and materials ( i suck in that 
) So please could you let me know what do you think and what should i change before i move on materials?
Thank you for viewing. 
Wow awesome!!! that’s so sweet mate! all you need to do is add a reflective material and off you go!
This probably my favourite car and you have really done it justice.
Nice model!
Simple thing: the logo looks a bit off centre.
Other than that, good work!
Hi thank you all for comments !
Dagon19 i don’t want to rush it so it will be at least 1 week before i put some material on it.
Radioactive123 that’s why i decided to make it i love the car and look so cool …i love that angry (powerful) look.
UV 5000 true i cant believe i missed that. btw nice Camaro !
I have changed the front grill, lights a bit put some parking sensors on the back of the car and mirrors .
and start playing with the materials
here is a test render 
Aren’t those panels behind the doors usually plastic?
Tlehman Good question. but I dont know ?
this one here looks too reflective for plastic

and the second one could be plastic so i am not sure

Just found out its carbon

I will change it . Thanks for the hint tlehmann .!
Many of the edges on your car are not sharp enough. This is easy to fix though.
So what are going for; a studio render? An outdoor scene?
UV 5000
Thanks for that man i will try to fix that … i ques the arc’s above the wheels are the most visible.
I want to do Studio render first and than i will probably try to make some outdoor scene as well.
Have you seen THIS tutorial? Although it’s not specific, it shows how to model and render a car professionally.
UV 5000 I have not seen that one .It is looking pretty good . Thank you !! I will be checking this one a lot when i am back on rendering . I made a mistake on the doors. That vent supposed to be all the way down to the bottom of the white panel. So i need to change that.
Hi another render of my R8 … i dont know why but the reflection on the paint seams really pixelated.
Hmm it looks like u got ur textures messed up??
Shouldn’t the dots on the paint be on the carbon-fiber?
OR if it is an external render engine…well when i rendered with those, they always had dots like that…
Awesome adi btw
Using Lux? I’d use yafray.
DDD i had carbon fibre texture on it but i did not like it so i just change it to some black material with glossy reflection and i think that those dots are from not enough samples on the glossy reflection.
I have tried to change the world texture to some gradients to get rid of that pixelated reflection but it does the same thing and I dont know why … i think its something wrong with my carpaint material because the reflection on the windows looks smooth .
Graphix no it is Blender Internal i might try one render with yafaray once i am happy with BI … just to practice with yafaray materials.
And thanks for comments!!
The first thing that jumps out at me is the size of the brake rotors. They are so big that the calipers could not possible fit. looking at some images of an R8 confirms this.
Also the rear rotors should be somewhat smaller then the fronts.

Pappy you are right they are huge i will make them smaller . Thanks for that
