If that's a word, of course. ------------------ Britannia rules the waves. American navy is full of gays. We win.

The bonnet could do with a little tweaking, the real thing has really crisp sharp edges defining the border between Top and Side (you can see it in the image in your preview). I'm not sure how you'd acheive it, but I think that's what defines the front end of the gallardo and you should at least have a go. I'd also shift the headlights slightly further to the front or darken the front row of pixels, the headlights being very close to the edge on the real thing. Back detailing is nice, but the sides and middle around the uprights feel very bumpy. Could be a side effect of darkening it perhaps? The real back end is very flat, if you look at this image you can see there's no curve on the side panels and very little on the centre bit. Flatten them out and you'll get rid of the bubbly cartoonesque appearance that it's hinting at at the moment. Finally, like the headlights the taillight clusters should be pretty much the last thing at the back of the car. I'd either darken the row behind it (hard to do well in yellow since dark yellow has a tendency to brown), or move them back to the rear end. If you do I'd take the centre between the lights back with it, since there should be another crisp, sharp line that defines the end of the car. Looks good though, shading up to your usual standard and I love the windscreen flare. The light effects on the photo you've used in your preview are amazing, any thoughts of having a go at recreating that? I keep thinking we as a community of car makers really need to try and go forward, since cars haven't changed quintessentially since GTA London was released, and that was what, 6/7 years ago? There must be a new style out there waiting for someone to discover it.. ------------------ azz.gouranga.com est. 1998 (I am oldskoolier than joo)

JRS21 I too, drink English tea. Joined: Feb '03 Posts: 266	Wow, cheers Azz, fantastic advice, all of which I shall definately heed, or atleast attempt to amend the faults you noted, however when you talk of the defining sharp lines on the front, where top and side are easily distinguished, I attempted to darken the sides to represent such a change in angle, however it altered the shape of the car far too much in my opinion. Furthermore, I had a go at recreating the thin white flare across the car in a similar style as seen on the photo, but it was very difficult to achieve, it altered the shape of the car, I suppose if I work at it I may be able to achieve a good effect but my first few attempts made the car look awful. ------------------ Britannia rules the waves.

JRS21 I too, drink English tea. Joined: Feb '03 Posts: 266	Okay, updated a tad, havent yet attempted the different highlighting technique you discussed azz, however I have tried to make the other changes. Firstly on this image is the lightly edited version, 2nd you will see that on the front the edges are much closer to the lights, I don't know which people prefer, and the 3rd is just the 2nd but with higher contrast.

The left one looks a lot fatter than the right one, and that shadow seems a little shakey too. Othewise nicely done! ------------------ I see infinite constraints only bound by their conception ::.. . . .
