Do you use the meshsmooth in your renders?
Btw the design is realy, realy nice. I just love it !
But in your render it seems to have some small normals problems, and i think it's due to the meshsmooth

Yeah, I do use subsurf modifiers.....but I probably will apply the modifier then go in and manually fix the normals issues. There's some issues near the door shutlines and near some of the curves. The interior of the A-segment car is really bad; I may just end up remodelling it entirely.

Pekoe is really promising ! Keep going on !

Ok, so i think you'll fix all of them, in the most of mesh i don't see big normals prob, only near the doorshuts ^^
Very nice design btw, have you some ideas for the engines?

A-segment

- 800cc ~70HP
- 1.3L ~ 90HP
-1.2D ~60HP

B-segment

- 1.3L ~90HP
-1.5L ~120-130HP
- 1.7L ~150HP
-1.2D ~ 60HP
- 1.6D ~ 90HP

C-segment

Same options as the B-segment, but, minus the 1.3L and add an optional 2.2L making ~200HP, and a 2.0D making around 140HP

Cheap sedan

1.3L ~80HP

1.5L ~110HP - No diesel

Ok, a super huge update

Cheap sedan got a facelift and the interior modeling is nearly complete. (Central mounted gauge clusters are so much easier to model)

City car has a little detailing at the rear, but the interior is pretty much entirely remodeled.

Not much on the B-segment.

The B-segment sedan has front and rear bumpers separated, as well as the trunk.

(my favorite angle)

Profile

C-segment gets a slightly restyled rear fascia, more in line with the RWD coupe

B-segment gets a similar rear treatment

Also, here's a low-cost hatchback to compliment the low cost sedan. Started life as the first hatchback on the first page. Small little hatchback around the size of a Suzuki Alto or maybe the old Fiesta.

Before you ask "Why are these cars not in Racer yet?". My computer is pretty old.....I'm in the process of getting a new one. I want these cars to take advantage of Racer's nifty new features.

It is getting better each time I see it... keep this up!

Using an old version of Racer, but I at least get a chance to start developing the .ini.

Keep in mind UVs...
I'm curious how it's looking right now...

Last thing, your SG (smoothing groups) could need some little work, usually you end up the modeling with a lot of SG...
Looking at other games could help you understand how the job is usually done.

Keep it up !
P.S.: Use cull=none in your shader to see the 2 sides of your unfinished mesh....

Been working a lot on Pekoe and Eayshim. They don't look the greatest, but I'm pleased. Hopefully, they'll be good additions to RACER.

Pekoe is very close to finished.

I got the final mesh done, save for some generic unmovables I need to insert in. I also found a nice neat turn signal script that I think will really complete the car.
