BASIC DESCRIPTION

The "Kompressor" designation on a Mercedes-Benz means that the car is supercharged - so watch out! The C230 is a sporty sedan but still with the typical German flair for luxury. This project was originally started by Chadwick, who made most of the base model, and then it was later passed on to me. I finished the model, made and applied the textures, and took care of all of the in-game stuff. 

FOOTNOTES

- There is one area of weird normals I couldn't get fixed, visible near the rear of the vehicle when you look down the side from a 3/4 angled viewpoint.
