Recently, I challenged members of the EcoModder forums to design an aerodynamic Smart Fortwo concept car.

That was a fun contest, and I had no idea it would end up on the blog, but now that I see it there with all of the other entries posted I am a little sad and confused that my entry was not included amongst the other entries in the blog post.

The props are greatly appreciated dcb. BTW I dont know how many noticed but everything I did to that car was part of that car originally. Nothing added from outside sources. A lot of IWarp, a little copy and paste, and some smudging goes a long way. Gotta love that IWarp filter in The Gimp.

Iwarp, gotta look into that. Found smudge ok (very useful). FYI, I was looking at the smudge on the hood, in a rorschachish sort of way, and thought it kinda looked like a firebird emblem, which might be a funny addition to the hood of a smart (or any eco) car

No that was just me not being careful with the headlights. IWarp is under filters > distorts. It is similar to the photoshop liquify tool.

I shot Ben a message, but he hasn't been on since 6:30AM, so he may already be on holiday.

Ben left for Japan 15 May

Sorry for leaving you out! I was uploading the pictures while running out of a japanese hotel and might have missed one on my desktop, I will try to fix it soon.

No harm intended.
