replaced earlier pix with the backwards text (copy-rotate 180, not mirror object!) ..then went after a Cherry Red ..man .. you can almost taste the cherry in that red :)

And of course .. a black one. Black is highest selling color on a vette and has been for awhile.

I used to dabble with POV-Ray. Had a lot of time and fun back then.

It's interesting that you ask that Mensa:



I actually plugged in data to the 'daylight' system in 3dMax for 10am, Phx AZ, Aug 3rd to calculate the lighting of this scene. Imported my P-51D model from years ago, changed materilals to 'mental ray' then applied the texture maps of the original model over them .. man she looks 'good'!
All the materials in the scene are built from lighting properties data that is plugged into mental ray from actual stone, concrete, chrome, aluminum, etc .. what I do is tweak 'em to get color-consistency-pattern I want.

The difference between the models is night and day. The vette is more than 3 times the polygon count of the Mustang :)

Yep I love the look that you are going for there. Love the scalloped parts behind the wheels that are 50's retro for the vette. I wonder what it would take to get that body made up and mounted onto an existing vette chassis? That would be a sweet look to see in real life.
