Iv'e been stuck at a desk at work today so Iv'e been playing with a CAD RX-7 FD model I found online.

Had to paint it red, slam it, put some TE37's and my Odula wing on it.

What is going on with the shadows at the door?

[Dwduc]

I'm not really sure, been trying to sort that out. The meshes don't seem to play well together there. Like in those renders it looks like the door doesn't match the lines of the car body, but it does.

Nice, what program are you using?

Nice, what program are you using?

Rhinoceros 4, its a NURBS modeling CAD/CAM program that works well with my CNC machine.

Messed with lighting a bit, put some tire paint on, drilled the rotors and painted the calipers. Need to spend time on my real one but the house will be dominating my time for the foreseeable future.

Its weird that the doors make those weird shadows when I do a render.

Here is what the view-pane looks like that I am drawing the render from.

Not sure why I can't get the render to change more drastically. I really don't have much experience with the rendering properties though.

The doors are pushed in and not flat with the rear fender.

That is what I thought at first but it all is perfectly aligned.

Here is a screenshot of a top view of the wireframe model,

A screenshot of the same view as a solid.

And finally a render of that same view.

I think I just don't know enough about render settings and options. It is a bit overwhelming and not intuitive.
