Title: Grave Digger Monster Truck
Name: Chris Pryke
Country: Australia
Software: 3ds max

Hi Guys, this is my entry to a competition at SMCars.net, I wanted to make a nice scene for it, but ran out of time before the comp ended, and some of the materials need to be fixed up.
All poly modelled in 3DS Max and rendered with vray. Any comments would be welcome
Cheers
Chris

Looks pretty good.

I recommend you should keep working on this model for sometime more. There is tons of detail that you can add. Make an environment also to place this truck ;)

Ah the memories...I remember seeing this guy in action as a youngster. Pretty cool. Like far said, it's pretty good, nothing inherently wrong with it, but I supect you could take this thing a bit further. Nice job.

Very cool stuff. I like it! My biggest crit would be make the texture map help sell what this bad boy is... its a monster truck! Make it all scratched up and dirty! make lots of imperfections. I think a good believable texture map with lots of imperfections contributes more to realism than a detailed model. I agree with the others, you could definetally take this farther!
Then again I understand sometimes when your finished with a project you just feel like moving on your next. Anyhow next time I say more detail and imperfections in the maps. (disclaimer: I'm no pro myself)

That's funny! I saw this car in action yesterday at the Monster Jam in Arnhem (Netherlands)

It's a cool car! Nice model aswell!

Sorry to say, but that's an ugly paint job :(
I don't know if this is based off an actual car or toy car, but I'm just not a fan of it.

I'll give you points for the tire treads though. They are cool :thumbsup:
