:D
Looking very good
You may want to use spot lights instead of point lights because they will not reflect in the wall surfaces the way point lights do.

I changed the lights to spot lights and did some tweaking to make the tires look more realistic.

I would try a studio HDR spherical sky image. There are several available. The reflections will be a lot more attractive.

Also, try the car studio for licensed users here:

hey, see how much the right light can do? :D
I'd change the floor material, that was only for scale. I'd match the walls, or try the wet asphalt material.
Headlights would be better turned on, and the headlamp glass material needs work.

The latest and greatest. And, yes, I stole your headlights, too!! :D What can I say, it's the "work smarter, not harder" scenario...like, no need in re-inventing the wheel, right? And I'm doing this at work cuz I ain't got nothing else to do. Unfortunately, though, we don't have the pro version so I couldn't edit the asphalt. Anyway, here she is...oh, and if anyone would like to donate to the fat old fart '57 Chevy purchase program, it would be greatly appreciated!!

Yeah, I know, the tires kinda blend into the ground. I'll work on that, too!!

I am not sure if the light blue - turquoise color transition was intentional but i love how it looks! :clap:
As a 'not expert' i would say the car is perfect, only the background needs to be sorted out.

Once you get the ground sorted out, I think you have a winner here! :^: It has come a long way quite quickly.

Yeah, I got the ground done last night, but I left it at home! :oops: I'll upload it when I get home.

Cheers!
