Here's my first made scene and I have some problems (also not all materials are finished). It's really more ingame looking shot then a realistic render, but these 2 'bugs' pisses me off atm.

I'm using LightWave 8.0. You can see in the picture on the hood near windshield there's some strange shadow and on the bumper there's noisy looking shadow.

What do you think what causes this problem?

On the bumper it seems to have the wrong material applied. It should contain a material or texture for the numberplate, yet it´s using the skin texture.

Concerning the area near the windshield, that is a smoothing problem. I can´t tell you how to correct it as I don´t use Lightwave.

Smoothing groups are the problem. The XR* cars are the worst.. 70% of the polys will need to be resmoothed.. back of the bonnet, bumpers, lights, door creases, windows, interior... etc etc. Once you go round all of the mesh and fix these, it'll look better

Oh man... Why oh why did I picked XRT

Thanks guys

Not all of the issues are particularly visible, so you may get away with some of them.. but I think I probably spent 2-3 hours in the end when I fixed up the XRT for my brazil scenes (and done further fixes since).

The bonnet area though is the main culprit. If you look from an angle above and behind, the back of the bonnet edge has a really thing strip of polys. Select those polys and 'detach as element' (or whatever the Lightwave equiv is.. I've not used LW since v1.0 on an Amiga). This'll fix that issue anyway

Hmm, those rims look...familiar

I've tuned the XFR a little bit

I've got something new again.

here

and here

Looks good baSh0r apart from the floating Wipers and Hood pins.

My team mate Fazza finished the teams new skins off.



The LX6 is missing the Exhaust for some reason.

I found the reason of the missing LX6 exhaust, it's coz the whole car has been mirrored. (only way I can explain it) Any one why it's done that?

Tuned, as in put heavy wheels on it, heavy speakers in the back, and covered up half the headlight so you can't see at night. Oh, and ruined the aerodynamics by the looks of it... Yeah, really tuned... Bet it would go like... a UF1 hahahahaha
