Update

Still trying to get the Veyron finished. It should have been done weeks ago, but so many problems keep coming up. I managed to find the answer to the poly problem. Turns out that it was a problem with my smoothing groups. I havent solved it yet, but at least I know the problem.

Update

Havent been working on the project as much as I should have been due to other deadlines (so far 3 this term) however I am not too far behind. Next week is very important.

I have spent the last week beginning to reduce the polygon count on my car, it is far to high to place onto a web app. I have identified several areas where this can be achieved.

Next week I need to get another car modelled, finish the veyron poly reduction and also do at least 1000 words of the draft report.
