  • great idea. and i love the shiny things (don't we all). Re the white rubber, I think it works as it is. It is an unfamiliar substance - but is actually much closer to the natural color of rubber, once it has been manufactured.
    I'm always interested to find out ---
    what did you struggle with?
    what was easier than you expected?

      Thank you.
      What I stuggled with was to decorate it in a pleasing manner. At first I added some golden embolishments that looked awful, I replaced them with simpler golden plates in the front and on the middle blue fabric part. I also had to fight some weird behaviour from Normal and Roughness maps.

      What was easier than expected was to get rims that would please me and look nice. I really like what I manage to get there without too much trouble.

    Daaangs that is great. The rubber of the wheel looks rather odd though, almost like porcelain. Overall it looks cool. Good luck on the contest Thibault.

      Thank you! Yeah to be fair I couldn't find a good texture for the wheels, and I wanted to be done with it.

      Very nicely done!
      If you lightened the material up and maybe made the rubber a little thicker you could have white walled wheels.
