..seems not a lot of people in this class came from the vehicle modeling class, as I haven’t seen many cars from that class
That’s an interesting observation. So far neither have I seen many vehicles from that class. I suppose they’ve all had about enough of me as they can muster.

While I still think you did a pretty bang-up job on your original render, your Eevee version is looking great! Looks like you’re using an HDRI with a bunch of light sources which plays well off the car paint’s reflection as well as metallic bits. The only negative aspect at the moment is the ground. Get a nice [obligatorily] wet asphalt situation going on and this will be 💰
It infuriates me because I love doing the best..
What about your work so far isn’t your best? You’re doing great stuff. Quantity ≠ Quality. You gotta chill out before you burnout bruh!
