Started this project the beginning of this week. I'm building the vehicle first, as I had problems getting the parts to fit correctly
when I started the last Transformer as a Robot. The tires and rims are placeholders for the time being.

Great start on the model!

Is this physical sky without sun? Still looks weird though...

[philmartin]

Thanks Rusteberg and Brian.
Tom, the clay was rendered in Cinema with AO, here it is in Maxwell...

[Bubbaloo]

Ha ha, you can't fool Eagle Eye Tom!

[tom]

Now it started to look like a car

Ha ha, you can't fool Eagle Eye Tom!

You really can't. lol..

I passed right over that render without a second thought -- I admit it ! ..........

[philmartin]

Wasn't trying to fool anybody, the C4D render took 50 seconds and the Maxwell took 1 hour and 10 minutes, I'm too impatient to wait that long for clays. (Even though Maxwell looks so much better).

Wasn't trying to fool anybody

We know, we know. Just making jokes.
