Ok while my country is having a really great line in Euro 2004 I feel that I have to thanks the Greek footballers with my way!
This is an image I created today
The ball was modeled and rendered in max 6 and the postwork was done in Photoshop!
A bigger render is available here.
Looks Great. Just a few very picy crits.
On the original ball the “Roteiro” the addidas logo is located on one of the Hexagon Patches.
On the top patch visible on the ball there should be a logo of like a heart with a ball inside it with writing below say Euro 2004 Portugal “Official Matvh Ball”
The black lines on the ball look too flat they need some specular highlights, similar to the ball itself.
Besdie these three things its really good, keep up the good work.

PS: For more info on the ball check out this helpfull site http://www.adidas.com/au/ scroll over the bar sport then click soccer. Continue to click on the link named Roteiro.
hi mikepol,
i had to reply this because I’m portuguese! 
I agree with everything chalkie said…The ball looks cool, but there’s something wrong with the black stripes…they look too flat.
By the way…do you know what Roteiro means? It means ‘Path’.
Good look to Greece. And i hope we meet again in the final and that we win this time!
Not to change the subject - I love the pic and all, but don’t get too excited - I doubt you’ll beat the Dutch - You were lucky to beat England - their form was off, not there best game. I think this has been an interesting euro competition, many favs are out (ppl say its due to exhaustion, after all these international players do play alot. Who knows) - Anyway, I just hope that it isn’t a typical - ‘the host team wins’ - because that always looks fixed, and occurs too often!
Good work anyway, keep it up.
<<Chalkie>>
Thanks for your spots!
I have to agree about the black lines they nedd more attention!
As for the other logos, if you turn the ball ,in the official site of adidas, at the view that is my ball no other logos are appers except the adidas logo!
So technically in this vew the ball is fine!
Thanks in advanced!

I believe vfx was replying to Zardoz, in order to reach the finals the Portuguese
have to beat the Dutch (us ). Psycho-warfare!!
Anyway, good job and I agree with you about the Greek team.
cool compilation but one thing though, the “adidas” text and logo, they should also be little bit rounder (with the ball) it looks kinda funny to me now, it looks like the logo would go inside the ball… it is not on the surface to me… maybe I am too cocky, and I might be wrong also, could you look at that?
but hey, I love your work, don’t give a damn about football, but this looks really cool to mee…
keep it up
good image! good work!
i would like to see a full render of the ball!
p.s.: well, Portugal is the the champion! we’re gonna win this tournament! :bounce:
Wow it look great.
P.S. I hope the Greeks win the tournament. Because i am from Germany and the trainer is Otto Rehagel. 
Pretty good. All i have to crit has already been said
GoodLuck versus the Czech republic and hope to see you in the final after we’ve beaten the portugueze 
BTW Euro 2004 fans also check out my trophy of the tournament im working on:

<<hatebreeder>>
Well we will see this!
We have are alrerady won for being in the four!
As I already said, It is the first time we see our team to play such good ball!
May the best win.
Really nicely done indeed, I like the background, looks awesome!
Btw, great job against France, but I’m afraid Euro will end for you in semifinals against Czech! :bounce:

<<Toxic_Mind>>
I hope you are wrong my friend!
It seems we have to wait until thursday to see :)!
Hey man, I din’t understund a word of what you’ve said!
Please translate in english if you can!
Thanks.
Hey nice work mate!.. i love the back u made …the ball need more work but youre doing it well!.. ohhh about the football… im with your team mate … best of luck for them!
i translate it!
something like this:
«I think it’s excellent, I would put more details in the ball, and the work made in photoshop is excellent… how do you make those effects?»
CZECH vs NEDERLAND these is the final for me
I wish all good to the greek team but I think that the Czhech team will beat them.
Tice work on the ball man but i think that the under pattern must be with biggers squares. :rolleyes:
I hope I’m not wrong, but as you rightly said, we have to wait until thursday! Anyway I’m sure it will be a great match…
Hmm, I don’t know but I think Portugal will beat Netherlands… but we will see. Anyway I hope Czech will win against Greece!
