Reeeeeally cool, surferphil! I tried the Elan myself some years ago but was never really happy with my results. In the meantime my skills are by far better. Probably I should pick up this project again... I will post a pic as soon as I have found my old renderings. I work with Cinema 4D. How long did it take to get to the final model in Maya?

"can you do a pacific blue Elan with esprit v8 front bumper and sills?" I can and probably will as soon as I have finished the other product upgrades. :wink:

I suggested that if there wasn't much work going on in the studio then the 3D Scanners could scan my Elan. :wink:

Someone had a casual word and now everyone has moved on from the run of brand new production line cars to my M100! It's almost completely 3D Scanned inside and out! And there are a load of us freelancers contracted to rebuild scan data into nice clean models with a few days spare to process the Elan! :shock:

It's amazing how a simple suggestion can turn into a massive and fantastic thing when there are 8 people with nothing better to do! :-D

Phil,

Forgive me for being critical, but aren't the grilles under the bumper a bit big and WTF is that big red thing in the reflection of the centre grille? :lol:

Geoff

[Edit: Oh, I've got it - you can see the wheel through the LH air intake on Monty's.]

What part of "Still a way to go but i thought I'd post the first reasonable render of my Lotus Elan" do you not understand Mr Stiff?

"Forgive me for being critical, but aren't the grilles under the bumper a bit big..." Nope, they are fine. If you actually fitted the upgrades you bought to your car, you would probably be more familiar with the shape! :-D

To forgive you for being critical is to forgive you for being you and for that I forgive you. That was somebody elses fault. :-D

Nice 1 Phil. :wink:

Would look better if stripes went out towards the lights..

Like on the one " i call it the Doug"

Johnny. :-D

Geoff knows hes good, but can only wish he could do stuff like this. :lol:

I'll do a decent render for you when it's finished Monty.

The 'Murph mobile' :-D

Thats pretty realistic!

I'm still working on this model, almost completely finished the model work and starting to add the materials the the various parts of the car. I'll do the exterior first, then the inside.
Tyres and rear lights are the next materials on the list.

I will build an environment or two once the model and materials are complete.
