FVS, go here to calculate a squared circle, aka a ‘SQUIRCLE’, for those cup holders.

I would like to request that only a SINGLE "squircle" cupholder be installed.

This should provide sufficient focus for distress to keep trolls everywhere busy.

Would be nice to show that in the interior render..

You realize doing this could start fist-fights?

I realize that you're not criticizing Chaz or his talent, just unhappy that his render is more than likely pretty close. You've done that dozens of times, and we get it. You don't have to keep doing it over and over. It's beyond boring, but of course it's your right to be the forum king of repetition.

I'm not altogether sure I'm going to like the car either, but I don't have the need to beat it to death. I'll make up my mind when I actually see it.

You are about the 8th person to directly ask him to quit spamming his bull$#!+. We're all tired of it.

Chazcron, thank you for all your hard work, I personally have enjoyed following the evolution of your render. I recognize there is a huge amount of time and effort put into doing this. I think the render looks pretty damn close to the real thing.. even if the side scoop isn't 100% accurate, who cares... It's impossible to get it 100% accurate on speculation and public photographs.

As a forum we should be celebrating and sharing this passion with each other, but it seems there are too many pedantic *** holes on here.

After i map the panel seams, I'll render this angle as a 360º spin. No Zora type.

Only upset that their pro photographers did not have the first photos published only from it's best angles(s.)

Even the C7 does not look great from all positions! All views grow on you however!

I think if GM is upset it may be because this beautiful rendering could be nicer looking then the actual car itself.... Love your work!

While the renderings here are amazing I personally think the C7 is a much better looking car.

Thank you very much Chazcron. Looking really nice! I look forward to your further fine tuning and then your 360 degree spin.

These are stunning renders. And I believe accurately capture the actual scale and shape of the mouth as I have seen it in the camo prototypes.
