This is a Mercedes Benz car (automobile) logo badge and grill.

Wow! That is amazing! I have got to spend more time with Xara 3D and try and do work at least half as good as you. The chrome looks chromish, the red looks reddish plasticish (?) and the whole thing looks 3d!!! Great job!

Very impressive, Anas. Did you use swing animation to rotate the Mercedes logo into position?

[salaam]

Thanks Bob, Soquili,
I'm still on 'Ripple' animation I'm afraid.
All the rotation was performed in Xtreme.
I'm having a little problem with the bonnet (which you can't see very due to the low view.
Atttached are all the vector shapes.

Very swish, Anas, the dark bands in the texture really make all the difference to the chrome effect. Had to play with that, so tried it out on a hubcap from an earlier image, looks great.

Obviously simsmj and salaam attended the same Xara 3D school that the rest of us skipped out on and went to the beach instead!!!
Or... simsmj and salaam are one and the same person.

So guys, did you add the dark bands in Xtreme after exporting it from 3D or were they part of the texture imported into 3D?
