        Still working out the front end.

        Widened the roof pillar. Hid some more lines. Changed the side window back to the other shape.

          Didn't like it so I simplified it again.

            I kind of like this front end. Maybe a little more refinement, but it's very close.

              Some minor details left then choosing a color.

                  While the blue looks fine to me, given the style of the car I would expect for it to have a little more of a spaceship look. This might be more obvious in a rendered view, Again JMO.

                  I should also mention though that I think the design of the car is really neat, eye catching and something that Elan Musk might be interested in building. πŸ‘ πŸ‘

                    Thanks! I'm not set on any particular color.

                    Most spaceships are white, which works as well.

                    So, white?

                      Here is a white version with black trim accents. (and some more refinements)

                          I like the white.

                          Now try Twilight Render Hobby with a metallic shine parked in a neat city setting. I think it would be neat. πŸ˜†

                              Thanks Dave!

                              Still have a few more details to finish before I do the first render.

                              Do know where I can get a good city street HDRI? It has to be free. I can find a couple of parking garages, but that's all I can find.

                                OK - that looks good to me. IMO it kind of brings the car alive. πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘

                                  I just updated with a second picture in previous post.

                                  Thanks!

                                    Again, JMO, I like the look of the car better in the first image but like the setting in the 2nd image. Maybe the is a way to combine the best features of the two images now. Again, JMO, rendering brings out the good features of your work.

                                    Wish I could visualize and produce something like your car.

                                      It takes the right HDRI. I'm rather limited with what I have available. I'm still pleased with both of them and these are just quick test renders. πŸ˜‰

                                        Quick test render in Raylectron with stock HDRI.

                                            Your little car is looking great Bryan. My vote is you do a render of you jumping your little car over the Grand Canyon πŸ’š .
