Awesome! But I will have to say that the driver side window in robot mode has to be transparent, just like the way it is in alternator mode.
/annoying
But seriously, I really like it, especially the "battle damage" that you've added to the hood and doors.

Mine are lower res, but grainy because I'm impatient
I primarily thought that you've added some noise to it, because it does look cool this way. I think I'll try my hands on Indigo. But first, get your model done!
My vote's on the second taillight design. The chrome/silver bit matches the lower section of the bumper.

I just seem to get very rough metal and body paints...
Ooooh. I actually change the metal coverage. Usually it's 0.2, I go for 0.05 or 0.01; keepin' it minimum. I don't really like the flakes - it makes it look like a tacky paintjob. Plus, the "metal" and "base" is the same (you probably did that, just mentioning it).
You should send me your procedures so I can see what you've done.

Holy s**t! I feel your pain. I thought 8 mins. was far too much...
Awesome bonnet!
I got half the renders up: http://picasaweb.google.com/shamscalade/RogueMilanoWIP
Some aren't great... That's why I'm doing 16 so you can choose which ones you like and not run out of renders.
On your comment of the Paramount render, I don't really do anything special. I just use the same lighting setup every time. If the renders turn out fine, I'm lucky. If not, then I just retouch them with Photoshop. The retouches aren't huge, it's just brightening, darkening and blurring. For example, on the Paramount renders, the headlights turned out completely black for some reason. So all I did was lighten it up a bit.
Just tell me your procedures so I can check if they're similar to mine.
I use the "whitestudio" light setup, but I turn off the background. That's about it I guess.
I'm currently working on the renders (4/16 done). They'll be 1600x1200, but here's a preview. Now's the time to notify me for any changes (i.e lighting, colour etc) because I don't want to give my PC a hard time by making it churn out the the wrong renders.
Blasphemy! Ray's right. "Squarier" front fascia, perhaps?
Iacocca Mustang... any thoughts? The only thing that's letting this futuristic design down is the taillights IMO. They should've went for the newer 2010 ones, or some aftermarket LEDs.
Great work so far. But I'd have to add that the fenders need a bit more flare - the car doesn't have the mean look yet.
Ah yes. The lines look very sleek in the first picture, with the distortions and all.

but ,well, is hard to paint in two colors a car with 300000 polys
Do you mean your PC lags while doing that? If so, I'd like to see how my pc stacks up against yours, haha.
feels miserable
in serious need of an upgrade
regrets Vista
waiting for Win 7
Cool! I like the idea of a modern Milano. It'll interesting to see the no-headlight look.
WAHGAKFGNOGBGFAJ Those renders are f*cking awesome! This version is better because I prefer this one's side vent over the previous one.
One thing though, the shiny surface in the render is making me unsure about the amount of detail you've put on. Try some matte paint - it may look better (not providing the guarantee).

Awsum models Rogue!!
Men are men, can't sue me for that.

I have started the changes but I don't think it’ll look too much like a production model.
One way to make a concept car into a production car is to make it crap and ugly. Get rid of those posh vents, simplify the lower front intake and shrink the wheel wells.
sigh...
Couldn't log on for a few days (blame the damned cookies) but happy to see what's going on now. I like the Visos' rear; looks production ready.
I really love the Paramount. I actually like how you added a port for the vent before the bonnet. Of all the people in the warehouse, no one has applied more emphasis on such things than you.

Hmm... the sharp lines and the thin pillars on the "American" Taunus give it a futuristic look. Nevertheless, still "teh hotness". That Capri got a funny shape too - CARS-esque (with the grille and all).
I'm thinking of rigging up one of your Cobras with SP3 and yes, it'll drift and handle properly if you know the procedure (vapourware already...). I'm not using any scripting stuff like the pros do, just some old-school physics nonsense. My graphics card is sh*t so I can't guarantee how awesome the drifting will be. The Cobra doesn't kill my graphics card and I can't find anything better, so I'll stick with that. I'll post it here once done, if you don't mind - the warehouse got very childish...
Speaking of drifting, I got one of those cheap Hummer Monster Truck-ish R/C toys that I converted into a drift car (yes, it really does drift, on carpets too... sometimes). I actually placed the battery in front of the front axle, removed some weight and spray-painted it black. Pity the battery wouldn't charge any more.
Since when were R/C toys related to car companies? rimshot
Cool! That's concept's front wheel arches look awesome. Also, the front end has a bit of 70's Corvette to it; nice.
Forgive me for this completely-unrelated topic, but I really felt the need to share.
Shelby Daytona. Replica, but still...
I have the same problem too. But luckily, there's a way. Try moving the file (C:\Users\YOURPC\AppData\Local\Temp\HyperShot) to desktop. But then you have the mouse sensitivity problem. So try to save the views before you move the file (try saving the .bip file, if it works) or deal with the extreme sensitivity.
I tried rendering it, it was fun. But one thing caught my eye: how did you get that colour? Did you download a colour/texture pack or some sort of colour editor that I'm unaware of? (Yeah, can't be bothered to look it up...)
Aaand I couldn't help myself, so:
