Stepnose perhaps?
That is my plan. It’s actually quite easy, I just spin the car 180 degrees. At this angle, it’ll look stubby. Stepnose?

Greta work as always Cahzron! I still can't get over the awful looking rear-end and at a lot of angles the proportions seem awkward. I'm hoping the actual car has a much nicer & sexier flow to it. Anyways, thanks for your efforts as you are very talented!

On the camo cars you can see tiny holes in the middle of the front hood -- obviously used in order to be sure the air coming out of the opening in the hood does not make the camo billow. I believe the middle of the front hood will have a large opening. Right where the big rhombus-shaped block is on the highly camoed cars.

I posted this enhanced picture of the ME’s front wheel opening some time ago.

You turn down the polygon count - looks blocky

That's for the oil cooler rad outlets. Watch coolant rad out lets for hood something like this.

No Polys, bruh, they’re splines. and I hand placed and adjusted every single one of them. My modeling program is pretty limited for what I am trying to do. I try to make up for in Photoshop but obviously I need to learn a better renderer. bdsvavars uses Blender for his awesome results, so I’ve begun the steep leaning curve.

Could you provide more information other than just this picture confirming your post that there is front OIL radiator cooling on the ME. If that is true it will not be fun to change engine oil on an annual basis with all the dips and turns running from the front radiator to the engine. Line low point flushing too! Track days? It would make better sense if it’s for an engine cooling system with much less need for coolant replacement and flushing of the lines. My GM experience (Fiero V6 ) was that even coolant replacement was not fun, and I only did it once.

Learn Modo its cheap and very easy to work with but that said any 3d modeling is to time consuming - heres a couple of wip I did a while back - have textured versions but not handy at the moment

Rendering skills unquestioned.

The C8 is beginning to look more and more like a 1/18th scale Maistro Die Cast.

I wonder when it will cross over and look like the "Big Time Muscle" casts next.
