Concept Sports Truck Racing version.(Composition Renders)

[Worlds only hope]

hi, this is my latest project i'm working on, started with the tires this time. Got any suggestions to help improve the tire. Thanx

[justalex]

Starting a car model with its tires is like modelling a human and starting with his watch oder glasses or sth. :wink:

Kinda funny 2 me

The tire looks nice so far, maybe a little too straight for my taste...
I think it should be "bumped" (?) a little more. In the middle, you know what i mean?

Thanx for the suggestion i'll try that later tonight , and as for starting with the tire i know it's wierd, this is my first time starting with the tyre. :wink:

[Dennispls]

i would like to see how you mapped that tire
im always having problems making the bumpmap look good

[Worlds only hope]

This tyre was'nt mapped as i'm not sure how to do that either. I modelled this tyre in rhino it is around 65000 poly's in Max.

[justalex]

i'm sure this is no bump map.
It's definitely modeled.

[Bright Devil]

Dennis, i guess the tire isn´t mapped but modelled .
I don´t think that you get such an effect done with bumpmaps (the profile is too deep), but it could work with normal maps.

@Dennis: Here is a Tutorial what describes how to model a tire .

[Worlds only hope]

Thanx justalex, helps alot. more updates soon

[Worlds only hope]

Still thinking about the tire in the meantime here is a render of the wheels.
hope you guy's like it

[Worlds only hope]

Here is a small update, the tire and rim together not much but hope you guy's like it.

[justalex]

Nice render.

But you should recognize by yourself that the rim is way too thin for your tire...
Also you haven't changed the shape of the tire yet

Looks promising anyways!

World's only hope, where's your promised truck?

[Worlds only hope]

Thanx for the suggestions Justalex, i'll look into the width of the rim and I have'nt had time to fix the tire yet. Will be fixed next time. : :wink:

[Worlds only hope]

Here is an update on the tire. Made it rounder as Justalex suggested.
Tell me what you guy's think.

[Worlds only hope]

here is another small update. widend the rim so it fits the tire better.
If everthing is o.k. I'll start on the brakes.

[Worlds only hope]

Since no one said anything i have started on the brakes . this is the first update, just the disc.

[Worlds only hope]

Here's another update, not sure what it's called though, maybe "rotor" ops: any one know? it goes in the center of the disc.
more updates soon.

[Worlds only hope]

here is another small update, a small rendering of the screws i'm going to use on the brakes. Tell me what you guys think.

[Jintonic]

Wheres the truck?
