a model done for school work.
its not accurate, the tires are not the right make
the proportions are a bit squashed because of the shrunken refs i used. modeled in about 4 days, shading/rigging took 3 days. done for animation.
render with Mental ray.

well its not as good as dilbert's but its still very good. I see no problems apart from the ones you already said- plus it was done in 7 days! user added image

Maybe its a bit too glossy, bt apart from that its very good

Damm good work man for 7 day's, think i'd need about 70!!, and another 70 to get all the details spot on!

One question?

Do you need a new mouse after that??? probably worn out from the heat due to the friction??

Was it moddled in maya or XSI as i've picked up your a fan of it? At uni we've got a stripped down version of XSI that came with the Avid Editing suite called Avid 3D (or I think its a stripped down version as thres not much room for rendering options just preview, good and best)

Cheers

probably less since we had a day off for american holyday 2 weeks ago [president day] . user added image

only the tire was made in xsi. everything else was maya.
the objective was not a great model, but rigging/animating.

not sure about avid 3d.
it could an even stripped version of SI3d [b4 xsi]
