good work

Thanks Daniel Cardoso.

Anybody can help me? I have some problems with texture.

Now I need to make it more dirty to looks more realistic

Yeah, some scratches and dust, especially on the top side would be good details! Some wear on the wheels and trucks too. It all looks like brand new which often makes them look unreal. It's a common "problem" in 3d objects. Also, maybe add a side wall text on the wheels too?

Your metal material for the trucks isn't very convincing. It looks like gray plastic at the moment.

Neat work so far though! I like the colors and the graphics on the bottom side! Is it your own design?

I thoght in put some text in those wheels but i dont know what can i put

Respect metal, i would to make it not so much reflective, like if it has noise or something similar.I dont know like i can say it.Excuse me. Ill fix it

The graphics isnt mine. I found it in internet. I want images without Copyright but i dont know where.

Thanks for your opinion . You are like a reference to me

Those trucks should most likely be steel so maybe start by keeping the same color they have on right now but raise the glossiness and specularity values. It does need some work and testing to get it right (unless you use a preset metallic material or scanned values from somewhere). For the noise, or uneven surface in general, you could use a normal map or make a grainy image file for the specularity value. I'd say the normal map would look better on it.

I'm sure you can find some good stock images on deviantart made by someone who is willing to give it out for other people to use. I find that option to be much better than to use something from internet image search.

Maybe just write your name on the wheels?

What's the 3d software you're using?

For materials generally i use mental ray materials. It is make it yet. Sometimes i use noise in maps. I use the noise that it is in 3dmax. Ill try to make it more realistic.

Ill looking for more images in deviant without copyright that i can use it.

My name its a great idea, but im making this object and another more for an animation that i must to make. And maybe one company name on it....

Like you see i use 3dMax 2012 and Mental Ray.

Now ill go to see a new computer because mine PC its a bit old and dont go so good with more stress. I thought in iMac or a workstation and i dont now want can i do.

Excuse me for my english. I am learning deutsch and i confuse my mind

There's a bunch of good mental ray materials in there but a lot of them seem to be old versions and don't work that well (or takes a long time to render). Post a render when you got progress with the materials so I'll take a look.

Thanks guy !!

Here i post one work by iPhone 4. Its my complete work in 3dmax + mental ray. There are mistakes but i like the result
