Message Been a while and I hae not seen my Z in like 3 months so I was working on the virtual Z. Here are some updates and pictures:

This picture is were I finished last night. I have rebuilt the entire lower half of the Z since the last pictures and changed everything ito SubDivisions which smoothed everything out greatly. I have not de-triangulated the hatch, windshield, or above yet and you can see where some of it is still choppy. I like the 2 tone wheels also, I might look into them (the wheels are ROJAs by Rays)

I completely redid the brakes with Brembos and no slots or dilled holes. You can really see the choppy here at the t-top area. I have fixed that as you can see on the first pic, but still have not gotten to the entire t-top area. You can see also the difference in the door glass and quarter glass. In the first pic I fixed the location of the support bar.

As for the green reflection in the glass, I have yet to figure out why its doing it. I am using Maya to build her, and maxwell render to render it because I like its "real light" usage. The first pic rendered in 8 hours, its takes forever.
Yes that you see there are innercoolers, but shadows are taking over and hiding them mostly. I have an aftermarket oil cooler and radiator made also, but rendering with them crashes maya and the renderer.

The panels on the Z are cut out but I have not put depth to them yet. Here is a Z4 I am making also and you can see the finished fender depth which will be done to the Z also, when all other issues are fxed.

A render from the last time I worked on it which was about 5-6 months ago. Needs some work, but I was making it to get better and to gain better creation skills for interiors which I will be adding to the Z.

Well, sorry for the large pics, Photobucket is screwed up because I converted everything into 640-480, but only one converted. Also the images are Bitmap and photobucket changed them to JPeg which kills the quality. The first picture and the smaller one took 8 hours or more to render and they are rendered at 1440x1152 or 1080 or something like that. I use them for my desktop wallpaper.
