why do you have the polys going together toward the backside of the wheelwell? this might and might cause problems later even tho it's probably hidden - always good to keep things as even as possible - especially when modeling mechanical objects.

it was my first 3D car, and actually has some minor issues to it (mostly the windows, so an easy fix).I like doing the wheel wells like that cuz it won't be noticable in-game, and saves around 100 polies usually. To my GFX card, that doesn't mean anything, but to those with old TNT2's and the like, they appreciate it. It also gives me room to spend more polies on important things
i did start with the wheel wells all evenly rowed, though, and just joined vertices after i had the back-face in place (good old Append to poly, followed by a Fill Hole).
i decided to do the side mirrors, and they're around 250 polies at the moment, might try to cut that down, but i'm not sure it's worth sacrificing the curves. I actually made this with nurbs, then converted to polies using the "control point" setting. this gave a pretty rough mesh as you can image, but smoothing it with 1 iteration worked great.
since the normals did themselves, i've got renders for the mirrors

that was from a shader on highend3d. just changed the color of it, cuz we all know that lime green is greatOriginally posted by dave_baer
Nice color. What did you use to get that metallic look?
sorry i've been a bit absent here, but i've just started college and haven't had internet access. now i do, though, so expect stuff when i've got time.
