Still working on this. Slowly but surely. The wheels were time consuming and I’m now worried they’re too detailed or realistic for the style of the rest of the design. :/

I’m using a trial version of some new software, trying to decide if I want to buy it. It’s missing the ability to do [circular] patterns, which is annoying when I want to do wheels. Other than that it’s fairly capable and intuitive.

Also, made this yesterday [dec 26]:

No circles? No like

It can do circles of course but circular patterns are not built in, yet. There is a workaround but it’s a bit of a pain in the ass.

The Calder CSL is probably my favorite car ever... of all time. Also, that stag is pretty cool.

Circles are good and necessary.

The break was pretty minimal but it’s been good nonetheless. I hope yours was equally rewarding.

Got to be gone for a week visiting family - needed it.

Both designs look lovely. The second one reminds me of a wallpaper I used some time ago:

May I ask which new software you tried out?
