when you smoothing do you mean turbosmooth or it is not a smooth bumper, well i do not like using turbosmooth and i am currently fixing the bumper
these are the wheels
You should use some type of smoothing if you want your model to be better than the other ones, your model is mid low poly mid high poly, try to model and then use some smooth modifier, it'll look much better
my only crit is: look at some real 350z photos, please. I know i said that the quality of the brakes won't matter, but this is just too low quality. You dindt even position the brake calipers in the right place. The front wheels are way too wide and everything looks too simple, like u aint putting any effort into this. If this is just a modeling practice for u, then you could have just watched the contest instead of participating, but if u want people to at least look at ur design when it's done, then you've got a lot of work to do. In fact, i would like this car more without any brakes or wheels than what it has now. Hope you fix that, or just practice ur modeling skills without posting ur results, cuz they are tasteless.
To be honest I dont like much of this kit that you have made...
The front bumper is almost straight out of an NFS game and I didn't like it there and dont like it here epecially after you ad your 20 ft. long piece on the bottom and the back bumper really shouldn't have a big hole in the middle.
As I have said before dont make the kits for a 350 "clunky" make them smooth and curved to fit the car, the front bumper would look decent if you made the bottom piece smaller, and took out those two round holes on either side, and made them into one hole for a couple of driving lights, and the back bumper totally needs to be re-done try and match the curvature of the car but make the bottom flat with a half-circle lip insert for the exhaust to pop-through.
TheShaddix -> We know you are good, but I don't think it's a real reason to shoot down this guy. You say he doesn't seem to put effort on this, I mean, maybe he is a novice at car modeling but I guess he is actually doing what he can. And I think everyone can (and maybe must) participate because those contest just give us chances to become better and better everytime.
I know you're an admin, and maybe i'll be kicked for that, but excuse me, I think it's better to encourage those guys who do that, who permit this place to live.
But maybe, i'm getting wrong, and that's not what you meant, anyway, my 2 cents.
shad is only trying to help us. he is giving us his 100% honest opinion of our work. if its crap, he says its crap. i think its a good way of getting through to people. getting straight to the point instead of small talk like "can you post your wire" or some crap. if someone is crap and needs help he'll stay crap untill he gets help. shad is just getting straight to the point in my opinion.
