CarParts: Rims & Tyres CollectionThread

[Malaki]

i wasnt quite sure where to put this,because you wudnt put your rims in a WIP section or the Finished car section lol so ive plonked it here for a mod/admin to decide where it goes

anyway i noticed on SMCars they have a lil thing goin for people to pot renders of the rims theyve made,just thought it would be a good idea to do the same Hope you all agree

[neo]

really cool idea!
so, here is three of my rims.. sorry for the bad render, it's old and back then I wassn't so good at materials :P

[Malaki]

heres another set

[Redler]

nice rims i suck at making rims lol

[Malaki]

me too lol thats why all ive modeled latley is rims to try an get better

[LG.]

My renders sucks.. i know hehe

but...



*edit*

this first rim i saw in cardesignnews..i've only modeled.. its not my design...

[S.O.A.D.]

Heres the rim off my m3. No lights used in the 2nd render and it still took an hour to render.

Tell me what you think

First off, MG. They are flipping amazing rims, some of the best that i have seen so far. Well done!

S.O.A.D the bump mapping that i presume you used for the text on your tires looks a little flat. Kind of makes the rubber look a bit false. I am not sure though but i think you see what i mean. Other than that they look great, well done.

You CANNOT be as bad as me :banghead:

Proven here :P



but don't worry - i am working on my skills, and am going to get 3ds max 7 full, so will be able to render them better

I noticed shaddix mention something about using a diffuse map on his tyre texture. I'd like to hear a bit more about using diffuse mapping - is it worth playing with. The diffuse is something thats always lost me :/

[Malaki]

RIMS! not tryres dude! show off rims! not ask questions about tyres!

[Li0n]

Hey malaki why dont u calm down?

[teeworks.]

hehehe, i will answer for shaddix... ye he ment you need a diffuse map to colorize the tyre (logos dimension numbers etc.) ..and to get the relief more structured if you know what u mean? to use only a reliefmap looks not by far that good... so u need a reliefmap and a diffusemap to get a result like shaddix has

aight?
