Herbie modelling complete

Finally finished all the modelling, all the little details completed including hinges, mirrors and those distinctive air vents over the rear deck.

Beetle in colour

Well I thought it was about time I got some paint on the Beetle model. With all the main modelling complete I could wait! These are the basic renders with an HDRI lighting map and a single directional light. The paint is based on an original VW colour called Savannah beige which I think suits the shape well. There are still a few more details and trim items to add, then i'll unwrap the model to add dirt and rust for a more authentic Herbie render pass.
