Which Carbon Fiber Look do you prefer?

[Adrenaline]

So I'm playing around with full body carbon fiber wraps, and was looking for feedback as to what people prefer best?
I'll probably end up doing this for a handful of cars, and wanted to know which look(s) I should end up sharing.

I voted semi-gloss.

Gloss looks too much as just stripes, and matte seems too tamed.

Just for my information... how many layers ? Or maybe you did it with a newly uploaded SVG ?

115 decals in total.

I think you need to scale down the fibres quite a bit for it to look good

This. It looks weak right now, the gaps between lines are waaaaaay too big.

Good effort, I think gloss or semi-gloss look best. But the pattern it too big currently. If you could scale it down even by half it would be a lot better and I would download it immediately

Okay, as per the requests, here's my attempt. This is the Gr.4 version with the smallest carbon I can make. (Actually too small, as I had to 'cheat' some areas, as I hit the 300/300 limit for the body, as well as the 150/150 on the hood. It's a lot harder to manage the smaller decals, especially over all of the curves of the Viper, the lines begin to misalign, and you can see the flaws much easier.

Million times better. Looks really good now.

Hard to choose between them as the sun and car angles are different for each type, but I think gloss is best.

I agree, looks heaps better and I'd say gloss is also best but semi-gloss isn't bad either.

The alignment of some panels does look a bit off when really looking closely at it, and for realism sake I still think the texutre should be a little smaller still.

But overall not bad job at all. 👍

Wow that's awesome! I like both but i prefer gloss!

The weave is still huge. Pick a car that has naked carbonfiber already, and compare with that. Yeah, sorry, but currently we can’t make an all carbon car that looks real.

IMHO PD should make a carbonfiber paint chip.
