    I like the new nose, although I'm sure you're going to refine it and make it even better. The damage looks good too.

    The damage will look good, because I am gonna make it snap off at any decent speed and fly off in one piece.

    However I just spent about 30 minutes refining the nose quarter panel area and my GPU driver crashed and recovered, blender however wasn't recovered and I lost all my work, never had it happen in blender before, always had occasional driver crashes with Mid-High End GPUs though they just seem like finicky things is all.


    But why during blender? Nvidia why?

    :mad: Too bad, hate when that happens. Was it just the nose or everything else too?

    Oh no, what was in the screenshot was from last night, I wouldn't do 1+ hrs of work without a save especially a whole section of a vehicle.

    Just the wheel well area which I am redoing now and I think it's better anyway. +Save

    Blender needs a recovery feature

    Cool, I hope that doesn't happen again, computers seem to crash right when you don't want them to.

    Nice work, looks really good.
    A suggestion I would have would be to move the headlights down to the front of the nose and also make them static, not popups

    Nice, that thing will be a beast, did you change the type of engine at all, or just tweak the performance?
    If that thing had a unique sound, it would sound amazing, 12,000 RPM would be almost like a formula 1 car, back when they sounded good

    I fully understand from an aerodynamic standpoint any sane person would remove those lights instantly, but the problem is:

    1. I like them because what is truly better than pop lights on a racecar :p
    2. I have minimal understanding of how lights work in this game. [I could still do it I just think I might prefer the popup lights that should fly off at 200+ MPH]

    That's cool, I do like the way the lights look on the BMW M1 Procar, which is probably the closest thing to what you have at the moment.

    I never realized how similar the Bolide and BMW M1 looked

    Nice, I love those air outlets behind the wheels. A roof scoop would also be a nice touch.

    Was the rear of the car removed because you planned to change it?

    As you can see I still need to jbeam it, it is actually only tied to the left quarterpanel jbeam right now ^>^

    I am not going to jbeam it until I have the whole A-Class mesh work ready.


    Tailcone remove to be changed in the future.

    He hasn't finished working on the back yet, nowhere near done, but I agree with the vents. A roof scoop would be nice, and making the intakes behind the windows bigger would look cool.
