next car, LE progress

[zimluura]

i know i still got some work to do on the tc6, and i will. but the way it's built right now has the rubber window molding stretching outside the car which is, imo, less than optimal. and it's also something that i can/will fix once there is a windows release with specular mapping.

so i might as well start to working on the next one. but which one? i've got model instruction diagrams of the following (all favorites of mine):
ML F1 road car
F430
Elise
4th gen Supra

i think i can go ahead and build one of these up to the point the tc6 is at. in an effort to not be duplicating any work i wanted to ask if anyone's working on one of these yet? and also see what people want next.

I like the elise, but all of them sound like they'd be popular.

Elise!

I have some other ideas:
1. Offroading cars
-Range Rover.
-Caddy Escalade EXT.
-Hummer?
-Monster Truck.

2. Sports Cars
-Lamborghini Miura.
-Lamborghini Murcielago.
-Ferrari 348.
-Quavle Mangusta?
-BMW Z8.

I don't think that the F430 is necessary because we already have a 360

[zimluura]

430 is totally necessary!! jk...i do like it though.

looks like the elise is pretty popular. and since i got 3 orthogonal line drawings of it, and nothing to do at the moment...here goes.

looks really good!!
I might be able to get some extra photos for you, there is a lotus dealership about 30 minutes from me.....

[zimluura]

thanks Kricor!

for now i think i should be mostly ok with photos i've found on the web. haven't gotten it refined enough so that i'm looking for specific shots and angles yet.

[joevenzon]

Definitely looks like an Elise! It looks like you're already making good progress.

[zimluura]

edit: a little while after i posted this image i thought i should trim just my right toenails and then mirror...

does this mean i'm spending too much time in blender?

[thelusiv]

Looks great! You can't ever spend enough time in Blender. But your left toenails won't wait forever. OK, maybe they will.

[zimluura]

ok, nothing drive-able yet. want to figure out a little bit more about the interior and then add some polys to the body to make it smoother and more accurate.

[joevenzon]

Yeah, the body could look a bit smoother. The interior looks great. I love that car.
