Hey, a few comments, i do agree with the rest about the colour, and yea white rims will be nice also. modelling is very good in general, but edges are far too sharp. especially on the front bumper, it looking like a piece of machined aluminium. the tyres are also a little fake looking, the modelling ...

when u apply normal mod are u checking flip normals?
the model does not smooth when unless i check flip normals.

true true....
i applied normal modifier... everthing looks normal,
exported as tris again but still have the problem. so i guess its a problem with max?

hey, its made in max, and i have put a normal modifier to unify normals.

i dont get why it does that, im going through a few of my old models... it seems only some models have the problem... which is weird cus i dont remember doing anything different :S Also i find that sometimes octane makes weird ...

i tried an old low poly file..... it worked! .... lol but another problem... the window wont enlarge or full screen...

sorry btw, i seem to be unlucky with these things, the problems always finds me for some reason :S

thats the file with the flakes only

the original file is quite big so ull have to wait abit for it to upload, ill pm u that when its done

ive scaled it down some more.... so in max it displays as 0.004m
when imported into octane.... again i cant find the model :S

lol right...... when i imported the file back into a blank max file, the units come back correct, with units set to meters.
so ive exported as triangles and imported as millimetres...... and i cant find the model.... lol it says theres triangles in the scene but i cant find it ...

so ive gone back ...

i didnt use the auto smooth, because its a "low poly" model, and modelled in a way that when everything is smoothed, it looks like theres bevelled edges when physically its sharp edges.

Still same results :S..
it shouldnt matter anyway cus the whole object is under one smoothing group.
