whats the poly count of your wheels?
the count looks stagering compared to the rest of the jeep.
they do look very realistic. how come you made them that way? & not with a bump map? I know bump don't look as good as mesh but, I don't know if I evea seen a poly count like that befor.
the snow tread- bump? not mesh?
over all fantastic bro!!!

The tire is 30 K no meshsmooth. I did a lot of arrays with the mesh o it was not to bad to do. It took a little while because I was working on my old PIII 600 at the time. It really was not that hard. If Maya had a chamfer it would have been easer. I chamfered every corner manually. I want to be able to do close ups and a bump map doess not cut it for me. The thread is to deep n those tires. The rest of the jeep is the mesh I work with and not the one I render. I wanted to show the presmoothed, on the parts I kept a low poly version. I always try to keap the working mesh light. Saves a lot of time and headache.
The snow was bump mapped. I will finish it with a forest scene, if I every do. I have three projects going on and not a lot of time. I have more time at work to post so it might seem I have more time than I do.
Thanks for your kind words

He still look artificial, but nobody will know in a semi-distant shot
