but nice model/texturing. the lighting could use a little work though... it's a little flat. (and for some reason the tires look like they're possibly made of cement or metal.)
Accept no substitutions.

These were early renders to examine my textures, just finished dropping the model into my background scene, it looks better I hope you agree!

Ooooo, be careful with that... you might end up with too much bump.Originally posted by echo red
The model looks good but the clouds seem flat. Maybe you should throw a bump map onto your sky texture to make them stand out more.
Expect to excell...

Yes, I know, but it is sometimes hard to get the effect you want from a simple bump map. It can give too cheezy of a look.Originally posted by echo red
You can decrease the size of bumps in the bump map's options.

I think, if was going to take the background further, I would try a bump first before using Maya's cloud effects. Thanks for your comments guys.
