[David Solito]

Thank you Max. From you is a honor
Well done Tok, but the logo is inversed .

Well done Tok, but the logo is inversed .

Thanx! I saw that too, when it finished rendering

[Tea_Bag]

Thank you everybody for the kind words! - Once I'm happy with the material ill upload it to mxm gallery!

@Tok_Tok - Yip tire is modeled in solidworks



Your updated render is much improved! Nicely done!

@David - Looks like you def did it tooo! - Great tire look dirt and all! and have to say not a bad alloy rim material too!

Hmmm....all these alloys and tire renders I might have to add an alloy to mine

Sim Ball

a version post-worked



The simball



and the package to test. I am not sure it'will work with another scene, because adjustments were made with the scene showed here.

YOKOHAMA SCENE

mwahahaha! alloy in Progress!

[Tok_Tok]

Well we all did great if you ask me. The nice thing is that we now have 3 different types of tires!

Thanx David for the pack, i'll try some of your bump maps on my tire model or combine them, see what works best.
I'll share my maps soon, but i don't know if i can upload them to the MXM gallery.. the material uses Hyltoms maps and adjusted settings. I PM him for permission, that seams fair to me.

[David Solito]

I have just an idea...
perhaps we can go further and make test for each parties of a car?
The best part should be used to make a great render...

[Tok_Tok]

perhaps we can go further and make test for each parties of a car?

I'm not sure i understand what you mean. You mean like making chrome for the rims and all the materials for the interior of the car?

[Maximus3D]

I think he's talking about we picking separate parts of one car, each user does their best with each parts material and then we assemble each part from each user into one complete vehicle. A mammoth task to do as a car consists of quite a few parts.

Good morning Tok_tok,
Good morning Max,

Exactly what you said Max, but it's not an obligation to have an highly detailed model.
Just a model that we like. I Know, if you look at some post on cg-cars, you can take a long time to put some materials together.
(sorry guys, I need to improve my english knowledge ).

To limit the work, we can just do a exterior render or something like that.

with that :

Archinteriors Vol 20

[Tok_Tok]

I'm sorry but i don't have the time for something like that right now, besides i'm working on my own Mini Cooper now, so i'm gonna have to pass on your offer

@Tea Bag
Is it hard/fun to model in Solid Works? I'm going to have to learn the software next year, because i will be attending at the Design Academy Eindhoven

[David Solito]

No problem Tok_Tok. Good work with your Mini. Hope to see something soon.

[Tea_Bag]

@David - I can try help where I can but like Tok_Tok I'm unable to give my full attention at present! The idea you have I think is cool! start a WIP and call its something like Maxwell Community Car Materials or something similar! - If you start it you might find users taking interest and chip in!

@Tok_Tok - What do you currently model with? Solidworks is fun to work with it can get tricky when working with surfaces but once you get the hang of it there is no turning back! Nico has done some great projects using Solidworks! Most of my work is modeled using soliworks! or packages with a similar feel like Pro Engineer, Autodesk Inventor etc! (Solidworks comes out on top for me) but at some point id like to try modo401

Well since its next year you'll be attending Design Academy Eindhoven Id suggest you google Solidworks SDK (Student Design Kit) as sometimes you can get a few months trial to use. You'll be ahead of the game then!

NURBS Modeling was something I did not know. Then I bought MOI and downloaded Rhino for Mac.
It's amazing how time modeling (for certain models) is reduced to 10 and with precision!
Today, if I have an object to model, I always think of the purpose and what tools are best suited ...
This allows me to focus on the most important part of my work, the quality of the rendering
