Hi. I need some outside eyes to tell me if they think the car in the scene is properly proportionate to the house? Thanks in advance. Stew451

The car needs to be bigger. Stand someone next to it that looks fine standing next to the front door of the house and you will see.

Thanks Shonner, don't know why I didn't think of that before. And you were right the car needed to be a little bigger. Now I can continue on with texturing and lighting. Thanks again. Stew

No Prob. The shadow looks very dark under the front of the car though.

That's the spoiler, ground effect thingy or what ever you call it. When I get the right lighting and textures on it it should stand out better, I hope:)

Hi, Nice work you have there. With regards to the car, did you model it yourself? If so, could you tell me what 3D modeling program you used. I am namely looking for a 3D modeling software that is versatile, yet affordable. Regards.

Not to butt in,

but have you looked at Silo 3D? Only U$109 at NeverCenter.com.

Sorry edversyp the car is the AM British Race Car by Hankster over at 3DCommune. I have yet to really try my hand at modeling. From what I've learned from my lurking the best thing to do is to try the various programs in their free or demo downloads and see which one is for you. To name a few that I've heard good about is Blender(Free), Wings3D(free), Carrara 5(demo), Hexagon(demo), Cinema 4D(demo) and as JC mentioned Silo. Hope this helps. Stew

I'm waiting for ZBrush and Silo to provide their free updates sometime this year, I hope.
