heres another car with another color on. you will notice that poser has failed to import the crease grouping for smoothing out the object, so some areas have gone a little funky.

another things that truly sucks about poser is the "holes" ray-trace elements get in them. if you look at the reflections on the car body, you will notice some small spots that have no reflection on them. I have not, thus far worked out a way to get around this. On the Murcielego at the top, changing the creasing angle fixed it, but not on this car :( EDIT : Tukan-Tiki I think it would be easier to create an image in photoshop to do the bump mapping, as the image you have supplied is not suitable for proper bump mapping, becuase it is a lit object, and not an elevation map of the object. also, for tyre tread, using displacement would yield much better results, but the displacement map would have to be very clean.
