    I'm having some reflection problems where the front and rear door meet, at the top part the reflection breaks. Screenshot1078.png Screenshot1079.png Screenshot1080.png Screenshot1081.png

    I have a few questions

    1. Will this affect how the car will look in beam, or be noticeable?
    2. how do I fix it if so

    I don't know anything about modding, but maybe you could reflect upon or even copy what other cars (Mods too) to see what the problem is for your reflection problem.

    This is not a reflection glitch, this is just poor 3D modeling. Make sure your mesh is all nice and tidy and it will reflect, literally.

    This is not a bug, you can clearly see the doors don't line up which means the reflections won't line up either. Not sure what you did wrong but definitely something is misalligned.

    It will be noticeable if you look close at the final model. Best of luck if you are for some reason still working on it.

    That's what I thought, I wonder where would I go to make my own mod? (i.e. which forum, and are there tutorials?) Who do I ask for advice? It might be a fun challenge to find a mod in roughly this one's state and make something of it. Or, it would be the worst possible resume point for a mod. I don't know.

    Well all of the modeling is done for this mod, but it still needs a lot of work. Remember that modding is very difficult and can take a long time. I suggest reading and researching about it on the forums before you think about actually modding anything. Also you should probably start out small too.
