Update- Redone-high performance car+ shaders

I've been pretty busy with this update. I went back to the drawing board so to say, and I think it was well worth it...
I've come up with a 1530 poly car that is pretty much what I was after in design. I have just started working on the shaders for this, so everyone with tgea should love the final product.
I'm also doing a tge version ...so no loss there for anyone else.

Anyway the to do list....
finish texturing... + variation textures for options
Finish shaders + variable colors..Playing with shaders the last few days has been a lot of fun...

need to add a higher poly lod for super close ups with a bit more detail, and then I'm going to punch out a few lower poly lod's.

wheels- I'm going after somewhere between 5- 10 different styles.

I think that's it....well here's the pics..

Thanks...took care of merging those...

just added pics of the new shader up top that I'm working on for this... I think the paint is called chameleon...always thought it looked pretty cool to have color changing paint depending on the angle you look at it...

Much better. Still a few unnecessary polygons, but otherwise it's a lot cleaner.

Hi,

impressive pictures. Will it be possible to get the model somewhere, or is it work for a special project?

Finally, I'm also looking for a more standard car for our application, e.g. a Volkswagen Golf - I'm from germany ;-) BUT your sports car looks really great, so it would be a pleasure to play around with it...

everyone-thanks

Tobias-Well yes, and Yes......I'm working on this to release as a content pack. Should be ready soon, and you're more than welcome to grab a copy for your project.
I'll also keep in mind the Golf. I'm always open to requests.
