my only regret now that i post it, is that i wish i didnt lower it as much, and i added brake rotors so the whells didnt look so empty. i can never seem to get like the wheels right, they always look so flat to me. but idk, ill learn as i go! so, please fell free to comment w/ constructive critisicm. thanx

Well, for one... that much lense flare is ridiculous... even if it would appear that way in real life, save us the eyestrain (and stop trying to cover up :p) by making them smaller.

As for wheels... the trick is to find wheels that are already at as close as humanly possible to the same angle (and preferably on a real car, so they'll already have nice brakes at the proper angle). The reason is, no matter how much you add "perspective", you're not going to be able to add the visual "data" that actually turning it would reveal. Example, in case my meandering makes no sense: if you take a photo of a person face on, no matter how much you distort it afterwards, you're not going to be able to see into the ear.

To be drop-dead honest... pretty damn bad. Although you did the sunset-timing well, and the IC's fine, the lens flares and the wheels are pretty bad.

ok first off, it is possible to distort wheels if they are at a similar angle to make them look entirely real, I do it all the time, in fact, I have to for most of my chops, but it is easier to find wheels that are at the same angle, as for the lens flare, thats one of the first ways to spot a noob, because you never see an expert chopper that uses it, so try and stay away from that, not too shabby for your 2nd

Short of brushing in the missing "data" (which is possible, but creation, not manipulation) I call utter BS on photorealistic perspective-ing of a 3D object.

the explanations above cover pretty much everything :)

i think for a second chop this rock's!! it looks real good imo

think about it guys second chop ever !! so with enough practice this could become promosing :)

keep it up practice makes perfect

my suggestion is take this chop and go find the right wheels in this angle place them on there than repost it here
that way we can comment on that further and you'l learn from that and this topic is already here so./..go for it!!

greets richard

Damn, man! HUGE improvement!

Now my only "complaint" is that your bumpers overlap your wheels in odd ways (it's like they're 2D layers on top of each other, instead of actually having depth to them)

this looks tight nice and clean two comments are : the lines on the wheels (gold ones) look like they don't belong there and you need to put some shade on the top of the tyres /rims (shade from the wheel wells)

but great improvement !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
