Help me understand key parts of a wheel.

[skacore dan]

Hello everybody. Could somebody please give me a better understanding of the key parts to model of a wheel, obviously the tire and rim, however what are the more intricate parts that could be modelled to give the wheel a sense of depth and detail. Also could one maybe post some photos of the parts that are being refered to, to allow better understanding.

Cheers,
Daniel.

Hi,

I have found the tire thread the more challenging part. Also the rim and materials/textures can be hard sometimes, depending on the brand and general shape.

Check this fantastic link to a tire thread tutorial. Really cool an pro. (3 parts)
