I haven't posted for a long time, so I figured it was about time I 
showed people something I've been working on. I keep starting things and 
not finishing them, so I figure I'll just show this one half finished :)

This was loosely inspired by the povmobile posted here a while ago, 
though I'm going for something a bit sportier. It's all built with CSG 
using superellipsoids and Shear_Trans from transforms.inc. Source 
available if anyone wants it though you might prefer to wait til there's 
a finished one (if there ever is...).

Cheers,
Tek

I like Tek's better.  His doors (once it has some) should be able to open.
I can't see how the doors on the model at metanoia can open more than about
20 cm, which might be enough for some folks to slither through, but not me.

Actually gullwings open up and out to the side, like this:

I think you're talking about lamborghini style doors:

Or maybe the enzo's wierd style doors:

And hey just for completion's sake, get some of that koenisgsegg double

All of those would work on the car from metanoia. I think that I prefer the
Lamborghini style beter.
