Anybody by chance have the following pictures of the rx-8?

1. front view
2. side view
3. top view

These need to be pretty dead-on, as in not from an angle. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think I've seen a directly overhead view of the RX-8... and I've seen just about EVERY pic of the RX-8, trust me. :)

Cool. Here's what I've got so far. This could take a while, tho...

Looks to me like he's creating a 3d model... and I think I might be able to come up with an overhead shot... won't be too great, but I think I can.

Let me work on it.

edit:- I can rip a low res... almost overhead shot of the front half of the car... but that's as good as it gets...

Let me know if it's of any use.

Yeah, I'm working on a 3D model of it. I've finished the front bumper, minus a couple touch-up areas. I don't know if I have the balls to even attempt the interior, tho. But yeah, any pictures are of use, thanks.

This is about the best overhead shot I think I've seen... and it's lame... sorry.

good luck with the 3d model thing, but coudln't you manufacture your own version of the roof of the car?!

granted i know nothing about 3d rendering, so forgive me if i sound n00bish :D

Thanks Blue. I'll see if it comes in handy later on.

Danger: You're right, I could. I'm not really worried about the roof, tho. More so about just the general shape of the car itself. I know the front wheels have a rather...unique design. Should be ok, tho.

I'm currently looking for the top view as well. Do you have any reference material? Thanks!

Buger, you got Schematics dude! How in tha?? hehe

You rock man, straight up!

I'm modeling this thing and I was originally going to suffice with just some straight on head shots. Only could I dream of having orthographic schematics!!!

With these I can create exactly what I wanted, I'll keep you posted on my progress and my website. Thanks Buger!
:D

Man, I have no clue where you got these from, but I'm totally impressed. Thanks again, this will help with the interior accuracy! :)

... and Who Farted? hehe
