@mendenbarr No worries on being late. I’m proving to be late with grades myself. I like your car paint material, really all your materials, and the floor texture with subtle reflection. My biggest critique is the lack of contact shadows, which I think you’re aware of too. Sounds like Eevee is giving you trouble but AO should be the solution based on my experience. Still it’s a solid effort: B+ in my book.
Switch back to Cycles for week 3’s homework and that should go better.
