    Nothing special. IRL work has this put on backlog.

    I don't believe I've shown the interior or engine yet, but they've been like this for a while.

    I have the concept of glowmaps figured out now, but that's not in a presentable state.

    Also interesting; if you Google image search "Altezza door panel" one of the results is my pink convertible from when I first posted the thread.

    Not much since last post. I have to write a speech on image compression for Tuesday, so I'll try to get some more done after that.

    Name ideas:
    Use your name (Hirochi Heika) for the Altezza and call the IS "Chaparel C200/C300" (depending on the engine capaity).

    I'd like to stick to reality as close as possible, but also keep configurations to a minimum. I was going to combine the Altezza and the IS to make the line more concise.

    A name I've been toying with is the "Taki Tyrant." I liked the alliteration of Hirochi Heika when it was suggested to me, but I also wanted to slap my name on it.

    I grasped at straws to make "Taki" work, but it's not too far fetched for a Japanese car company: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/たき#Japanese

    For the car, I made sure to stick with the theme of royalty just like Altezza, Sultan, and Heika.

    I'm holding off for now because I don't want to create ANOTHER fictional brand and muddy the waters, but hopefully I'd be able to get more cars out after learning the ropes from this project.
