I call it the "Mios". From Greek, it seems to mean "Tiger". I hope that is correct, else to some it may mean something completely different! <:0...You get the picture.

Wow, great “super tiger”
It could be branded Alfa Romeo, in my opinion, well done
I love the front lights, while the rear white lights are too bright, and the red stop lights seem off
I would prefer the opposite.

Alfa Romeo...You're right! An obvious influence there, even though I hadn't thought about their styling, consciously.

With the super-bright white lights, I was aiming more for a graphic thingy to move the eye through the frame. But now that you mention it, they do seem over-the-top, realism wise. The problem with the red turn-signals is that if I brighten those, they just get really red, and the lens detail gets washed out. They don't look bright like a lamp, as much as they just look intense red.

About red light, maybe you can try to add a scatter medium with tiny emission, and zero scatter, to slightly light the red glass, and disable the Visible in diffuse option for the internal light.

From my location, I see a PONTIAC.

It's an Alpon Romiac.

That seems to work great. Seems to cut out the hard light of the "lamp" surfaces and spreads out the glare better. Thanks for the tip!

And two more.

Thanks to Ciao Beppe for the advice on getting good backlit turn signals!
