Personally I was getting bored with all the sports car being posted here, but this is nice for a change. Can't find anything wrong with it, good work :thumbsup:

I like it as well..... I like the additional images you have on your site. Do you have any of inside the car trailer and cab? How about a wire? I thought about doing a Peterbilt next... this is great inspiration! KEEP IT UP!

Very good indeed. Only the tire material is a little weird (too brownish i think) and the lights area look strange dont really know why.
But the reflections look fantastic.

Great work!

This is your first completed model???

MY WORD man if this is your first model then my hat is off to you!

I think it's excellent... absolutely. I think the tires look fine. I think the lights look very very good too, but I do see that you used a few image maps here and there... to make them perfect I would model the lights themselves so that you get some real reflections etc. in there... do that and it will be perfect :)

Awesome render. Looks very good. One thing to point out, on the left side of the picture the refections on the truck have some sort of weird gradient thing that looks messed up besides that this looks perfect. Lights look very good.

Wow thanks guys :)

I added a wireframe (2x meshsmooth on the body) to that "additional pictures" gallery link. Lots going on at the rear ;)

Sly Stylz, the interior (minus the steering wheel/seats) is just lowpoly and mapped. I figured most of the people who would render it, would do just an outside view. And most likely with the trailer attatched, so there was no need to go into detail for the interior. Although I've been thinking lately that I should model it just for fun.. haha
Same with the trailer, it's just simply mapped inside.

As for the trucks' exterior maps, the only diffuse I'm using is for the license plate, mudflaps, and the paintjob itself (in the other pics). The lights are all modeled (that was fun) and use bump/blur maps.

The reflection deal on the side is due to the HDRI that I'm using. There's nothing on the horizon. Just the sky and ground. I really have to find some new ones (or model an environment) :(

I agree the lights could look better, but I'm still a n00b. hehe

Thanks again for the comments :)
