One last car render.  This one's a 1957 Bel Air hardtop.  Nice model to work
with except for the lack of texture on the light lenses.  I may do something
about that if I get around to it.

BTW, the models I have been using come from

Oh dear! My uncle (who was a rich man, by our standards back in the 1950's; 
my parents didn't have a car) was the proud owner of this one. Blue too. As 
a kid, I was very excited to be sitting in the passenger seat and 'float' 
over the road, as I remember. Memories...

These are coming along nicely.  I've never modeled/rendered a car but it 
seems like the headlights would be one of the most difficult parts.

How about lining those cars up in a single scene.  Be a nice contrast 
from the different generations and you could fill the scene with more 
car instead of HDRI background.

Hi Trevor:

   Nice tests... cars are great for HDRI testing, isn't?

   For the lights you can try this normal I used for my Citroen GS (just 
add it to a regular glass):

normal{
  pigment_pattern{cells scale .1}
  normal_map{
   [0 quilted scale <.1,1,.1>*.1]
   [1 quilted scale <.1,.1,1>*.1]
  }
}

Yeah, I was thinking of just adding a normal.  I'll want to separate the
front and back surfaces of the glass though so I can still keep the front
smooth.

A way to do that is to use a difference where you apply the finish individualy 
to the outer and iner parts instead of to the whole thing.

This one came out great. Love the blue, it's the perfect color for it.

Yes, I realize that, only the model is a mesh.  I may have to create the
lenses out of CSG.

Hoe do you get these finished models into your POV-Ray scenes?

I'm using an old version of 3DWin to convert to POV mesh format.  There are
other 3d converters out there that can convert to POV as well.
