This is a recent work in progress, I was feeling nostalgic and decided to build the car I used to drive back home. Here is the progression thus far.
I'm also planning on using lens shaders and chromatic aberration with a physical sun and sky to truly mimic real world lighting and camera effects. I'll let you know how it goes.
Below is a shader test. My plan is to make a photo realistic still so I've been learning mental ray shader to get as realistic materials as I can. I'm pretty happy with the results but I need a bit more work.
