And this is why my head hurts...

For my next animated project, I'm going to model two cars side by side. It doesn't matter what type of car, but I want them driving up to a stop sign. I also want them to appear somewhat realistic. I don't really know cars very well, so this will be a learning process for me. I spent this past week alone creating the first car. Here are a few shots of what I have thus far.

The car I referenced was the Nissan Altima. Unfortunately, I couldn't decide which year or trim to use, so it turned into a model that doesn't actually exist in real life.

This is after I added the obvious gloss and side view mirrors. Parts of the car appear warped to me. That was not intentional. And the texture on the tires look a little crazy. I need to figure out how to fix that.

I added tail lights, but couldn't figure how to create the cool glass textured design inside the lamp casing. Fail.

And here, the front headlamps appear warped. Not good.

I suppose it looks okay; but, because it doesn't look as good as I originally intended, I may have to do the whole thing over from scratch. Ugh. I'm not sure, yet. Maybe I just need a nap.
