It depends whether you think it's a full size car or a small model. The blur
makes it look small, so I think I agree with you and I'll reduce it.

Couldn't find any nice ones so I decided to build a vaguely TVR shaped car
in Wings3D. It's not ready yet.

Yes, I've been thinking about this. The trouble is the effect relies heavily
on specular highlights, which aren't compatible with radiosity. But if I use
a really high specular and really dim light sources I can get the highlights
working without interfering with radiosity's diffuse illumination. So I'll
give it a try :)

:-P
I chose the colour 'cause it's popular on TVRs, not because it actually
looks nice :) I think I might do some more pearlescent shades.

I don't have the source to hand, but it's basically a granite pigment for
the veins in the marble, applied to a standard checker pattern. The
reflection settings are similar to the paint but a bit more reflective. I
can post the source if you want it.
