There's a 3d modelling chap on DC5 forums spending his spare time modelling the car.

He said the wheels are hardest so started with them.

Can't wait till he's finished but it'll be a couple of months at least I guess.

Nuff skillz?

His user name is Sumimasen. He's trained in lightwave but this is done using Modo.

Lives in Wiltshire if that helps.

Some of these screenshots are taking a good few hours to render. Patience of a saint needed.

You ask the software what sort of quality you want it to render so you can turn off reflections, textures, bump maps etc etc as you work with the model.

Eventually though with everything done and you want the finished article rendered properly - it'll be running overnight.
