Well, after looking at
http://www.cardesignnews.com/portfolios/amateur/index.shtml I think I might just
get somewhere. I think I'll put a portfolio up when it's finished.

I don't know  :(

I just set it to render through the night at home on my 650 Mhz Duron. I
remember the older version took something like 9 hours on the 333 Mhz Celeron at
work...

I think the front lights are too small, I'll make them bigger. I'm also not
entirely satisfied with the shape of the rear lights - I'm going to make the
outer corners rounder.

I once tried to think up ideas for narrow, horizontal, bar-shaped
headlights.  Seemed the thing to do for fitting to ever-thinner front
bumpers of some cars.  In fact I thought of how family vans might be back in
the late 60's.  VW vans were all I ever knew of; and station wagons too, so
I merged them while futurizing it in drawings as a kid.  Which became more
or less a reality in the 80's and 90's.  Wedge-shaped frontends.  (no, I
never became a automobile designer).

It's a great car model for POV-Ray instead of Rhino or something.  Congrats
on that.

You got me there! It looks terrible from the side. When I started modelling the
car I used ABX's views include, but after some time that became too slow and I
never really rendered it from the side again...
Thanks for pointing it out to me :)

A lot of work ahead...
