Don't know if your going to have issues in the challenge using 2 seperate apps. I think the Maya entry has to be completed entirly in Maya and the Max entry in MAX. Need The Man Mountains judgement.

On the other hand, VRay is great :bow: , wheres the Maya version? Good work so far.

Well in my defence I have only used one main App. All rendering and hand done modelling was completed in Max with Vray. I could have done the same in Maya with MR, but I've found Vray to be more efficiant and I happen to like it.

Only one other app was used to support my work and thats a very small application called Worldbuilder, all that does is generates heightmaps for your displacement.

Cool! I like those landscapes a lot and that's a nice start on the rover. Looking forward to seeing how this one develops. Good work!

ok so its been a few weeks since i last posted, nothing new visualy to post but had alot of nice ideas for developing this further. Been doing a few tests with materials and techniques, so the next few days should prove to be interesting.
