[edit] Ohhhh... I forgot to add a separate plane haha thank you!! Will definitely remember to do that for my submissions :))

That's great!

Mr Li

Could I check if you have applied the bump map for the cube? And it'll be good if you can create a floor to cast the shadow as well.

Best regards

Mr Li

Hello Mr Li,

I did apply the bump map but i think i set the details a bit too fine. I will adjust accordingly for my submission, and noted on the cast shadow for the object.

Thank You

Hi Daniel

The car looks pretty fine. It demonstrated that you understand the modeling process quite well and it'll great if it could follow the proportion of the given images. However, if you are running out of time, you may just render it with HDRI image and follow the TMA brief instruction to submit the assignment.

Mr Li

please follow the assignment brief to submit your TMA on the canvas. All assignments will be downloaded from canvas for grading.

Please see the attached image for feedback. You may follow lesson 5 & 6 videos for Material, texture & rendering.
