I thought the whole process was simple: The more you practice, the better you get. The harder the level, the faster time it takes to get it done... the next day, that is.

If it gets too hard for you, take some time off, then get back to it.

That is most definitely the best render I've seen. No, really. I AM shocked - as in this: - but can't really describe it in words.

The new side is cleaner, but it messes with the C pillar (or D-pillar?) and makes it odd. The old, complicated design did distract me from that... Must be the absence of the interior or the gap between the window and quarter glass. Since it's a render, I'll shut up.

How much? $2,000,000?

Well, USD won't do. You'll need 5,000 Unicorn dust particles (must be real - Ely Co. won't fall for any of your tricks). They must be in a sack made of gold (silk would do, but you'll be on the waiting list if you do).

Sweet! Drifting is so much fun... and I did roll over a few times. Anyway...

There are a few errors (that sound lag due to the SP's coding; hopefully will be fixed in a later issue), but you guys should upload it to the warehouse. More input is all it needs to be awesome-er.

Call me a purist, but I want to see a live axle setup of that thing. I did a similar one on a Defender (just a hypothesis; may not function like a real live axle).

I also saw how you guys did the steering mechanism. I may be old-fashioned, but I prefer the "Plain Jane" box rather than the shape you have. Better crash physics... I guess?

Hmm...? I thought the Insignia was an Infiniti rip-off (hint: Infiniti G35 taillights). Still a good estate execution though (note the pillars).

Looks great so far! Looks very scary at this stage - hell's only a few hours away (i.e. bumpers; fenders; etc.). Probably explains why I don't want to make car models...

That last image can't be real.... can it?

Almost there, but you get the point. Darwin - 0. Gravity - 1.

Speaking of the Mondeo, the estate version is beautiful. There are only a handful of wagons that are good looking. The only one I can think of now is the Audi RS wagons, but that's because of the crazy wheels and vents.

Look at that!

And then there's the Opel Insignia Estate...

I was fine with the "Made in China" tag, until this:

By the whole package, I mean the whole thing. I thought it was a WIP, but...

Nevermind, I found it.

so... what do yall think?

That's an awesome, alienish car structure. It's good to know that you're still going for that obnoxious and hellish design. More talent, but still you.

More pics on the whole package? Or have I been living in a cave for the last few days?

Wow! Awesome stuff.

Looks like it did have regular exhaust pipes after all. I blame the media for this scarcity of information.

If you're all so bored we should do a project or something together,...designing a new car or something unrelated to cars.
What say you?...guys

Until anyone uploads a good model onto the warehouse, I'll stick to making buildings. No really.

Mmmm...
NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM...

... that would be awesome. There, FIFY

• I'm liking how it's shaping up. Now's the most annoying part, I guess?

• Anything of the production-spec Visos?

• I uploaded another Milano render, but I guess no.10 is going to be the last; technical trouble...

I was searching for the Mach II on the net and only found one picture. Is it really that unpopular? Those vents behind the rear window, mid-engine? If not, they could be exhaust pipes. And if they were...

I like the idea of the front fender being visually larger than the rear. It may look like another "sporty" FWD car (at this stage) but it has this "Arr! I want to eat you, you piece of litter!" stance.

Let me rephrase that for you:

Epic render! Even though it's a quickie, it's looks good.

Sweet renders!

Oh, I see my problem. My pc is actually dual-core. It's just the RAM is below the minumum requirement. Looks like I bought the word "Vista" rather than the computer...

Anyway, the Dorifto Cobra is done. Here's a screenshot of the awesomeness:

The controls are a bit tricky. The controls on the left are inverse (S is forward; W is backward) - it's the only way I guess. I could've removed the controls on the left, but that would leave the car one-speed, thus making it harder to drift. Oh well, have fun.

Nice! I'm still trying to work out how to make the lights "work", as if they're switched on; no success...

If it was under 15min, i will be amazed

It must be. A similar render (background off; ground reflections on; 1600x1200 res.) took me 7-8 mins.

...

Looks like I haven't worded it correct. I actually understood that you've done that on purpose since you bothered to add reflections to it rather than making it transparent. I was in attempt of being as a**. If you don't mind, that is.

Nice! The proportions of the E-Roadster make it look like a Koenigsegg, and who doesn't love Koenigsegg? The colour is quite awesome as well.

I also like your rendering setup; I do the same too! But can I ask what environment lighting setup are you using?

Anything new on the "Contradiction"? Because it looks amazing at this stage already. AC Cobra Saloon... why haven't anyone thought that first?
