    Someone might find this interesting, Honda have created a website where they have uploaded cad files for some of their concept cars for 3d printing. While they have waaaayyyy to many polys for BeamNG someone may find them fun to play with and its pretty awesome for Honda to do this.

    The cars are in stl format, a modern version of blender can view this by using the file>import function.

    EDIT2: A low effort render to show it with some form of shading. 80 cycles using pretty much the exact same setup as blender cookie:

    I also checked the terms and conditions, there is nothing in there to disallow it. It really took me by surprise.

    I so those magic words "creative commons" in the terms and conditions (they are in there among the legal mumbo jumbo) and would have probable fallen off my seat if you know, I had a seat.

    you could use the high poly model as a guide and make a lower poly model over it, then delete the high poly one
