well I think for the effect a normal map will be perfect, and render much faster than displacement. Your call

Maxwell handles displacement so nice and nothing beats real geometry so for now i'm sticking with displacement no offence.

@Tea Bag
Thank you too!! Indeed, David's alloy is pretty simple if you look at the settings, but it works like a charm!!
If you can recreate that rough alluminium look, that would be very nice, i don't think we have that yet at the MXM gallery..

Ill see what I can do but ill probably use the same surface maps from the rubber as the ones I want to use are commercial
and cant share those! but ill make sure its up to standard

Very cool Tea Bag!

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

Do you mind if I give it a try on my Alfa? I think it looks great!!

[Tea_Bag]

Nico click the YOKOHAMA SCENE link in blue to get it

[David Solito]

Of course! Take it Nico!

[Tea_Bag]

Update:

Still a few things to do and tidy up but nearly done!

Cheers m-Que! a great response!

I can smell the rubber

[Tok_Tok]

yep, that finishes it

The model is also very good! Solidworks go!

The only thing i don't like so much are the scratches on the rim and the brake thingy. If you have managed to get scratches on that beautiful rim, i think they will be
in a circular pattern. But don't pay too much attention to my criticism, it's looking fantastic!!

I think you're right there; they're usually get sort of dirty dirty, not scratched.

Excellent Tea_Bag.
For the texture, it's not mine just downloaded from cg-cars
I'am today at Barcelona until sunday.
Spain is a pure beauty. Love it...and the men working there (as nextlimit) are fabulous. Thanks for this piece of technology.
