Title: Alloy [Chrome] In Progress
Post by: || UK WAZZAK || on June 30, 2009, 09:18:42 am: Im working on this alloy for a very large project im working on. Can you please tell me what needs improving.

NOTE : Centre of the alloy is still being worked on :)

Otherwise its looking pretty good! Though you may want to try to add more segments to the rim to make it smoother.

Aside from points already mentioned the outer circumference of the tyre looks sorta facetted, but it looks more intentional than lack of smoothing. If it is intentional perhaps double the number of tread blocks, making each one smaller. It's a bit hard to see much detail in the tread and elsewhere, perhaps you could post a screenshot of a filled wireframe?

Post by: kreator on July 02, 2009, 05:05:16 am: Perhaps its like Formula1 Cars, One Nut in the Centre of the wheel ( note: Centre spelt correctly for the sake of UK users and Tyre ) ::)
Title: Re: Alloy [Chrome] In Progress
Post by: ENSONIQ5 on July 02, 2009, 10:38:49 am: If the wheel is of the single-nut type the central hole should be splined (usage of the term "spline" in this instance refers to the engineering method of cutting grooves around the inside edges of a drilling which locate with corresponding ridges on the axle to prevent rotational slippage, rather than the graphic "spline" used on this site to refer to a method of creating a curved line). It may already be so modelled, it's a bit hard to tell on the render.

Post by: Ratticis on July 02, 2009, 04:50:54 pm: But if it was, the tire would be a slick
