Modelled and rendered in Pov-Ray 3.5 Beta 2. With this render I suddenly see a
lot of stupid mistakes that I didn't see previously when doing small renders.
The mirror definitely needs some work, something went wrong with the CSG there.
I'm not quite sure why the rear light looks strange, I'll have to check it out.
I used a cell normal on the front lights and hexagon normal on the rear lights,
but that doesn't seem to work, I think it'll have to be CSG. I've still got to
do the doors and panels and the wiper. I've done the log, but it's not
positioned yet. I tried this one with radiosity just to see what it looks like.

Maybe try the facets normal pattern in 3.5 with the 'size' method (See
6.7.11.13  Facets in the docs).  It gives quite a good normal patern. Only
problem is that the facets are somewhat randomly shaped.

Maybe bacause it's larger then the front light...

Fantastic...you probably said this in one of the previous postings, but how
did you create these?  Blobs?  An external modeller?  plain old CSG?  Once
again, great work...I would buy one of those tomorrow:-)

Very nice.

Is this what you meant by CSG problems?  it looks like the car body is 
going through the wheel.  And there's also something strange where the 
door panel meets the wheel well.

As a side note, although you are allowed to do as you wish, the front 
wheel wells should cover the top of the wheel completely to minimise 
aerodynamic resistence.

Missed this sentence?  =)

It's all blobs and CSG. Only Pov-Ray was used. Oh ok, I used Corel PhotoPaint to
export to .jpg  ;)

If you had the money, I could probably find someone willing to build it  =)

Thanks,

Aaagh! I've just gone through my sent items and realised that I accidently
answered directly to you with at least two posts. Sorry about that. I've fixed
up the mirror. BTW that 'CSG problem' kept me very busy on a wild goose chase;
it's just a reflection. Fixed it with a black pigment.

Regards
