It has been over a year since I worked on my fiat, sometimes you lose interest.. but I recently found it again
still a lot of detailing to do and still no bottom but nice enough to post some renders, here is the first:

I hope you like it.

[djflod]

still a great project

it has been a little quiet around you.
but now you're back for good

[NicoR44]

Thanks man I'm back ROAAARRRRRRRRR

[Bubbaloo]

I'm glad you decided to start it again. Wasn't it orange before?

[NicoR44]

Thanks Brian! yes indeed it used to be orange but I like this "soft"blue so much better

First image updated

I remember this and nice to see it being resumed. Did you ever use MakeHuman http://www.makehuman.org/blog/index.php to sort out a humanoid base for a driver for your Fiat? If not, the newer version works much better and has collada file export.

Thanks! and great link!

Here is another (png)

[Hervé]

cool color... your first render was sort of this color...

[NicoR44]

You remember? woow, indeed!
btw, it's not supposed to be metallic, just plain paint

[Becco_UK]

Nice - do you think the tyres need a touch of bulge?

[NicoR44]

Thanks! yes I did try, but till now I didn't get the required result, it looked really bad... but I'll fix that

[Becco_UK]

NicoR44: I use Cinemas' bulge deformer for tyres and have found better results come when the tyre has enough poly's to deform smoothly. I suppose a more accurate way would be to use soft body dynamics on the tyres and press them down onto a ground object but I don't find that level of obsession necessary!

[NicoR44]

Good one! I saw that Blender also has such a feature, doesn't it?

And a clay render
