Hey all!

Thanks to Capn_Panic's sweet tutorial on how to model a tire I modeled this tire. I decided to make my own rubber material and was wondering does this material look 'rubber' enough for a tire?

Thanks! :buttrock:

Hey, Xilica. :D

I think overall it looks cool, but I see some problems.

Rubber is not really reflective. Unless wet, and even then, the reflections are so blurry, that the might as well be specular highlights. I guess the same is true if they are new...sort of.

I've never really done rubber before, but I would say that it's more matte than reflective. I'd think the trick would be in the shading, and less in the material...

Just an image I found on the 'net:
