I'd get in hot and heavy on the roof and rework the shading. The highlight is nice, fits the whole overexposed thing that has become GTA shading, but there's a big nasty hue shift running from the front right pillar to the middle of the rear window. I'd shift the darker hue further over to the corner and smooth out that line. Lots of smudging and all will be well. I'd make the front right as dark as the rear right, that looks nice but the front needs a little depth. But coming along nicely. ------------------ azz.gouranga.com est. 1998 (I am oldskoolier than joo)

The shape on that front is pretty accurate but I've redone some of the shape on the car and I've also fixed the lenght of the windows. I will post the picture later. @ Daniel. The reason why the car's not transparent around is because I just merged all the layers and then colorized it. This will be sorted later. ------------------

tarmac President of G! Forums Joined: Feb '03 Posts: 395	UPDATE! I decided to make the car a little bit darker. It looks much better now IMO. New shading on the windscreen, though it's not finished. The dashboard needs work and so do the jigsawed sides. @ Bryan. Nice! I wish you all my best. Attached JPEG Image: 1146579957-497-300zx 256x256.jpg (35.74kB) ------------------

That's an idea but it would be hard to do as you would really need to make the cars with heightmaps or they will look completely flat. To the left you can see a car without heightmaps. To the right a car with heightmaps. Sorry for the crappy picture but I made it on the school computer and they suck. You get the picture? Attached GIF Image: bilar.gif (5.71kB) ------------------
