    I'll give you the big 5* again Ron, not like Remi, but I will do it.
    Super car love the first one the best, the 2 nd one a bit "Bling" for my taste, well done again.
    Design is thinking made visual.

    As a proud owner of a 1970 Karmann Ghia and love for computer graphics, these are some of the best images I have seen! Great work sir!

    Flurry of great car renderings lately. But Ron's cars always are always on the top of the heap.

    Wow, great work Ron. As others have said, the reflections are great on the paint and the chrome. And I love the Purple car too!

    Now, having let you bask in your well-deserved congratulations, I will point out the single item I see that makes it so I know it is not a photo. That is that the reflection would be discontinuous along the midseam of the hood. The house would not mate along both sides as it does, because the different halves of the hood have different angles to them. To get around that, you might just make another copy of that reflection, move it to the left, as my drawing below is trying unsuccessfully to illustrate, and apply a clipview to it along the midseam, and do the same to the reflection drawing on the left.

    I hope that made sense.

    And PLEASE don't take this in any way as a diminishment of my praises for your work. I only intend it as a pointer, if you hadn't already thought about it already. As I pointed out to Gary awhile ago over a certain ice cube, reflections can be a total B**c* to get right, and the effect of yours, as it stands, is still absolutely fantastic.

    Thank you for sharing!

    David

    Wow - very enlightening. I have learned from your remark, David, thank you, and I see what you are talking about. The reflection of the town building and the darker gray would be split right there and not a continuous flow. Very adept of you to notice that.

    Ron I am sure you did a tut on spokes . I looked through the most of your old postings (what a genius, you I mean, not me, all those wonderful cars)but couldn't find it I also looked through xarazone but zilch. Can you help please. I need to draw them for a very unusual car that I am working on at the moment.
