why would you want to encorporate a brake disc that's 800k polys? i would think you'd want more polys reserved for the model of the car, not just a mere detail.

Typically yes but im going all out. I dont want poly count to limit me and this program is doing a good job of handling it. Im moving around as if i dont have much in the view port so If I do end up getting it to freeze, then ill think about doing a poly reduction on particular parts but I have seem some ppl model cars and I mean they model every little detail and it looks 100 times better then the ones with less details

looking good, @NeoStrider - well the beauty is all in the details. if you are making a high poly car might as well just go all out on it. but thats just my opinion. anyway the tire looks good and yes xsi handles smoothing much better than maya. post some more updates, would love to see more stuff. user added image

Ok looks like the 350z going to win since I planned on starting on Thursday so im going to take a chance with it. I talked to my boy and he wanted me to model the veilside body kit which is the one on the image plane, but he asked me to put the stock hood on (since he doesnt like that one) and an illuminum wing. Im basically going to design it for him since he wanted one for his desktop anyways.

Smoothed, its hard to see this pic, im going to lighten it up a bit, the material so its easier to see.

***EDIT*** I have to fix the corner of the headlight, that transition is a bit wrong causing the faces to be darker. I didnt notice until i took the screen shot so im going to fix it later on. Time to get ready for class ***EDIT***
