      Hello, fellows! As the weekend passed, I was getting very inspired by Gran Turismo 5 prologue, and Gran turismo 4. So, I started work on a car a few minutes ago. So far, I'm happy with it. ๐Ÿ˜„ It is very much based on the Ford GT.

      No new work on the Goldenfrog Motors D-180. I may get around to doing that, but not any time soon.

      EDIT: Any comments, guys? Here's yet another new project: Nissan GTR. Pics are below.
      In the Kerkythea render, the inside of the light is red. This will be fixed. But, for now, look at the detail in the lights. I had three referece pictures, so that helped alot.

      I'm really please with how it's turning out! ๐Ÿ˜

          Headlights are a great improvement mate, however the body looks a little over smoothed/softened.

            Pete,

            Thanks for the feedback. I had three reference images for the headlights. ๐Ÿ˜†

            As for the body being to softened...Does that mean I should unsoften some of the faces? Or, should I just add more polies, and smoothen it. Not sure quite what you want done.

                Hmm...Last time I asked him if he was up to anything new, he said that he hadnt much time to do sketchuping. Is he working on this milano ro has he uploaded it? Hey, in case you need a nissan GTR based car, you could use my new nissan GTR when it's complete. ๐Ÿ˜„

                            Beautiful model...in my opinion it doesn't need stripes. If it is missing anything it would be just small detail work...small rounded panel gaps, window weather stripping, perhaps slightly darker color in the rotor vents, and projecting a seamless carbon fiber texture on the lower trim and the mirrors. All very little things that will add that little extra but they are just that, extras. The model is great without it.

                              What funny is that the Carbon fiber is a matereal and is not projected on this model and all my models that have carbon fiber

                                I think it would look better with 2 stripes...black stripes. Still, nice modification!

                                        Scott Para,

                                        Just as I was about to start missing your commentary! ๐Ÿ˜‰

                                        Thanks for the review on my Nissan. I am aware of the fact that the scale is
                                        is far from normal. That's because while I'm working on my models, I keep 'em huge, so Sketchup doesnt meet it's minimal line length. I believe it's one sixteenth inch. Anyway, If you'd please note that it is a WIP, it is quite open to critism, so you could please tell me what to add, and I'll get right on it. ๐Ÿ˜„

                                        I'm also aware that the wheels are really huge. I'm not sure what to do, becuase the wheels actually look rather good as they are now. ๐Ÿ˜• I'm certain that they are over the standard maximum diameter, but if I scale them down, they look so strange I give it up.

                                        Is there some particular detail missing?

                                        GF

                                          Goldenfrog,

                                          If it is a WIP then it is just that BUT the vehicle does not represent the GT-R is so many ways. Please review the site here this should be MORE than enough detail shots to start getting the model in order:

                                          http://www.nissanusa.com/gt-r/#/photos/exterior-photos/

                                          What throws the wheels off are the super small lug nuts and pattern. Back again we are to if you model to scale you will not have to rescale things later falling into the issues you have now. There is not "minimal length" of lines. If you change your units to decimal and precision to .001 you can draw about as small as you will ever need. So really no excuse to have to draw out of scale. It is a terrible practice to ever draw anything out of scale.

                                            Scott,

                                            I really appreciated the link. How do you start a model? I've been using ely862me's tutorial for this car, but I can't seem to get it to really look like the GTR. What tips do you have for creating a basic car mesh?

                                            Also, can you tell me how you create seams between panels? Mine always seem too angular.

                                            Thanks SO much for the directions on how to change the minimum line length. I really needed that. โ˜€

                                            So, the lug nuts are what you think is the real problem...I think you're right about that, but there is also a problem with the diameter of the rims.

                                            Ok, so there are many details missing... ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿ˜†

                                            Thanks for the advice.
