Looks great! Do you use a plane as emitter for your light? Most of the time use spots because they don’t produce fireflies if turned up and are easier to set up. Also concerning the hardness of the shadows (the higher the size is set in the properties, the softer the shadows will be). Of course you can also mix spots and emitter objects.

I’m so frustrated with this car .just when I think I’m closing in on being done with shaping I looked at a ton of pictures of this car and realised I am way off oin a ton of ways so back to the drawing board lol maybe I will remake that rear side panel with jar heads technique of tracing the edge loops first!

Jarhead when are we going to see your car model progress pics? Just itching to see how it is coming along!
My birthday was today so I didn’t have much time to continue working on the car being with my gf and my family. I’ll probably just make a new post when I’m done it. =D

Thanks so much for running these themed galleries.
Thanks also for putting the theme name in the post title (e.g. cars), really helps me when looking through for amazing work.
