I worked on this car (my first one actually) on and off for a week or so now. I know there are some problems with it: some smoothing needed on the front, texture needs a lot more work, … but I thought I’d post it here and get some opinions
some info: 3200 tris, a 1024x1024 texture map, lighting setup is default ambient occlusion
This car is cool. There’s nothing I could say you didn’t already stated. It’s funny to see a belgian plate on that car. I’m from belgium too and I thought I was the only one on this community
Keep it up.
hey looking good, the texture seems to be fine (for the decals atleast) you just need to put some shine on the car, maybe put some reflection on it. also, it doesn’t really seem very low poly on the front, it seems like thats how it should be — a very angular design – but around the windows and the spoiler needs more work… keep it up
It’s autosmoothed. For those of you who don’t know what that is, it measures the angle between the faces, and if that’s less than 30 degrees, it’s smoothed. Otherwise, it’s just straight. I would like to see a subsurf version with shiny windows, headlights, and some CHROME!

I could easily enable the raytraced reflection, but since it’s low poly I’ll try to add the shine to the texture (though I have no idea if I’ll be successfull)
better with set smooth
like digital_me said autosmooth is on
windows that actually look like glass
hmm, the difficulty is in making them look like glass without having to model the interior :-?
if your are going to use AO why not turn subsurf on and make it look smooth?
well, the AO is just to get a nicer result, but the idea was lowpoly, so subsurf kinda goes against that
I would also need to change the model a bit as some parts distort when I turn on subsurf
since its wip you got some more pics coming up?
that’s the idea, yes
anyway, here is a smoothed version (you will notice that the windows and part of the front and tires ‘distort’)
