I couldn't paint because we had to use my arms and legs for firewood. My father used to beat me until my blood splattered across the screen. If it didn't form an x, then I was in trouble.

An acronym is an abbreviation that is pronounced as a word.

S.C.U.B.A. is an abbreviation, but because you say it as scuba it's an acronym.

Because the specification of the challenge made it clear that they intended initialisms to be included (by the examples of BBC and CIA), even though they misused the word 'acronym'.

An "acronym" is an abbreviation that makes a new word. [Like NATO]
An "initialism" is an abbreviation that does not. [Like CIA]
There are also abbreviations that are neither. [Like Abbr or const]
An "acrostic" is a phrase or poem whose initial letters, or syllables, of words, or paragraphs, make an existing word. [Such as The War Against Terror]
And, for completeness, a contraction is when two words merge into one [usually seperated by a comma such as "don't" instead of "do not"]

it's an apostrophe, not a comma.

But I figured since I'd done little constructive or picture related posting on the board I'd show you the reason you've all been happily going along without my usual tedious brand of evil cartoon character shops.
The pictures are taken from preview window of a pretty crude modeller so there's no filtering, transparency and so forth and it really is shite at doing edges. The car is intended for a modding project and has a lot more work to be done, (Wheel UVs, rear susp assembly, and you'll be glad to know I'm not going to be doing the final textures.) but enough of my excuses, enjoy!

The cool part is that underneath the bodywork the engine and internals are almost fully modeled just incase you strip the car against a barrier or such.

I spent a lot of time bugging an unfortunate modeller friend to let me play with her proggy tools and give me a few tips on the way. The original shape was made in Rhino, reduced in 3DS, tidied up in Zanoza and UVmapped in UVMP and if that wasn't enough its final destination is the Gmotor 2 engine. (Rfactor)

what most people don't tell you is there is a wonderful thing called normal angle (i think). It determins how the light reflects off a face. With a high number it treats a face and the surrounding faces as a smooth surface rather than several jaged faces.
What looks pants on 0degrees looks really fantastic when you bump the angle to anything above 70ish.
This model has a lot of smoothing but only about 3000 polys

Generally I try to get the car as smooth as is possible so it can use a generic algorythm and look good otherwise import/export becomes a nightmare as other programs mess around with points. Most of the polys go on the tyres, the steering wheel and the most nightmarishly hard thing to model low poly style, the exhaust branches.
