Hey man. This entry just keeps on progressing so much every time I look at it…
Good Job. Not only that, but anyone willing to put in that type of work for a normal map deserves some serious respect. 
Cant wait to see how this massive model makes its way to the tri- limit for the comp.
:bounce:
PS: This is front page stuff. Some serious hardcore modeling here
Thanks alot for the great comment DevilHacker:).
Been working on the model and testing Normal Mapping, More updates coming soon:thumbsup:.
I think i’ll also create an animation and build the environment in Vue 5 Infinite…

keep the environment simple (remeber the contest is about the design of the vehicle)
not sure but it looks like your normals are rendered in object or world space (are they rainbow coloured) they need to be in tangent space (blues and pinks) otherwise if you move or rotate the object the effect goes down the pan
@ SHEPEIRO - The environment is going to be part of a post competition picture.
About the normals, Its not the normal map displayed on the objects it just a basic
color map i created in photoshop to just present the idea. The model was bumped
using Tangent Space.

I think what Shepeiro was saying is that to worry about the vehicle first, as obviously, thats what the judges will be looking at.
Cant wait to see though…
Looking good!
Are you going to have time to model the low poly and bake this out? We’re coming up on the deadline.
Update:
@ Ghostscape - To tell you the truth I dont think i’ll have the time to texture so i’ll probably create the rexture after the contest is over.
I am currently planning to creating 2 pics with the high poly model the WIP will be
posted in the 3D WIP forum after the contest is over.

K dudez I am officialy not participating in this contest…I’ll be continuing this model and final picture at the WIP 3D forums…stay tuned and thanx for all your help along the way:thumbsup:.
ROCK ON
