Watch out where you park your new XX car creations

**HayTay** · 14 September 2009, 01:50 AM

With all of the new cars showing up here on TalkGraphics I saw an opportunity to make a little extra money. To that end, I've been working on this parking meter off and on over the last couple of weeks. I've finally gotten it to the point where I think it's presentable enough to post in the Xara Art Gallery. Comments and criticisms are always welcome.

No tutorials for me this time, just a few reference pictures from a variety of sources.

Don't forget, just a few coins will keep you from getting a ticket,
Harry

Very photo realistic Harry..
You must have cleaned the bird poop off it?

Well done

Nicely done Harry.

I don't see a quarter slot. The last time I used a parking meter I think there was a slot for quarters. It has been about 12 years since that time so my memory could be faulty.

Wow, you floored me with this one Harry. It looks like a photograph it's so well done. Bravo! Even the roadway is perfect.

Excellent Harry! I agree with the other comments.

**wizard509** · 14 September 2009, 05:40 PM

Good one Harry!

Good rendering Harry. That's why I always carry a lot of quarters in the car.

Very photorealistic, Harry.
Keep up the good work, you seem to have got the hang of the program in no time at all, well, certainly less than a year and a half since you joined the forum, anyway.
More please.
Saludos,
Bob.
