First post in a while:
I'm hoping to put this forward to the 3D world image gallery, and maybe this months image comp, I'm still experimenting with the camera positions, but here are the ones that I think will work, crits and comments appreciated! Both these images are unedited in any program:

Can sugest few tips???

1) Nice model..

2) Put a local blue light on both reactors..

3) Try to change the texture of body of buggy.. like a yelow scratched color.. or dirty color.. because its like you use the same texture to all the buggy.

4) Try to add other light because its too dark and you loose few details (For example the weel)

Nice Entry... Good luck. ;)

I like the sand buggy, very dramatic.


It seems to lack a steering mechanism or is it becomes of the angle?


What will probably sell this is position of the vehicle, lighting, shadows and the terrain you choose.


I can imagine this vehicle looming monstrously large as it crests over a sand dune. Shot at an oblique angle, show part of the bottom of the vehicle but mostly the top. A contrasting sky and a fine grand sand being kicked up with the vehicle as the dominator in the scene.


Good luck on your project and entry!

Whoa, that's so awesome! Have you played Jak 3, by any chance? That buggy looks a lot like the ones from that game, which I'd highly recommend if you've not played it before. But be sure to play Jak and Daxter and Jak II first! If you have and are interested, I've got a great Jak model I made that I'd be glad to send to you!

Now you mention it, that's what I based it on, awsome game. Love to see that model!
