Just updating my gallery with progress I made on the PTD Kawaii 101, my first car. I think I said "I'm done" on my last render in my gallery, with the tiny wheels and all. But I decided not to stop there and make further improvements on my first-ever vehicle. Not only did I increase the size of the wheelbase and the wheels, I also added more detailed hubcaps, taking a cue from hints on how to do reading Thomas Suurland's VW Beetle tutorial on his website. Sigh, unfortunately these four hubcaps alone increased the size of the .3DM file from 5MB to 10MB, and rendering times -- even for Render Preview -- take a lot longer. These are only test-renders, of course, so forgive the blockiness and lack of detail -- I only have a P2-450mhz w/ 128mb ram, so rendering full-detail, 800x600 for every "just to see" render like some people can afford to do isn't an option for me :P. Final, high-res renders with every detail turned on will be made when the model is 100% finished. Um, for example, I just realized I forgot to make a place to pump gas *adds to his 'to do' list*. Probably a few other details I'm missing (but it's not supposed to have a rear trunk). Modeled in Rhino, Rendered in Flamingo
