The overly clean exterior of the vehicle became an issue. Although I initially considered adding raindrop effects, I decided to change direction, as it felt too challenging for a first attempt. I referenced a scene from the film Ford v Ferrari and aimed to achieve a racing “dirty” look. After various trials and adjustments, I was able to complete the piece.
Ultimately, I came to understand firsthand why my mentor had not recommended this approach, and the project allowed me to improve my surface interpretation skills and reference research abilities in hard-surface modeling.
