So, a little while after the last post here, I put the Cup2000 Ford template on the backburner, mainly because I didn't know how to texture the driver at the time, and I was still learning GIMP and Inkscape.
Later on, after I got some lucky finds to put together my recently released 2000 Winston Cup contingency decal set, I wanted to see the set rendered on a more proper, realistic depiction of the 2000 Ford Taurus body, so away I went doing an 8K(!) version for the SNG Cup 03 mod's version of the Taurus, from the ground up. This took much less time since I reused a lot of the assets that went into the Cup2000 version, and likely I'll redo that version anyway since I learned a lot since then.
Anyway, here's a 4K render
Having 64 gigs of RAM helps keep it all in memory
More to come soon!
