Hot Wheels Micro Machines

Hi guys, (& gals)

This will be my next project (MicroMachines). I'll most likely do a couple of cars and then do a matchmove race with them. I might be doing some contract Catia work soon, hopefully it won't slow me down too much user added image

Cheers
Paul

Thanks Guys,

I'm planning on making at least two of them and then try out a Match Move clip with them racing on my son's carpet track.

Will do some more on the weekend hopefully.

Cheers

Thanks Jay,

BTW: Didn't you use to have a clothing modelling tutorial on your site? or do I have my wires crossed user added image

Done a little more on the model. Only a test texture/render. I've still got some more modelling to do.

Cheers
Paul
