hello.. i am trying to model in 3d the mars rover and can't find the correct material, so I was wondering whether anyone in here has access to more information than I do and cares to help.
I am looking for detailed pictures of rover parts from all sides (top, left, right and bottom). I am attaching a few pics for the members to see the progress of my work. Trying to be as accurate as possible. Process is really slow since I have to make stuff out of bad reference pics I've tried collecting material from the nasa site, from raw images coming from the rover, from roobtics' sites etc, but couldn't come up with the correct reference i am seeking. if anyone cares to help, please do so -------------------- |

if you could rotate the wheels on the right hand side so they do not all have the release mechanims part of the tread at the top that would add to the realism too.

Since you are taking requests, could you make the wheels green for St. Patrick's day?

LOLOLOLOL... probably not...
...as for the above requests, there are a million things that could be done, and I could be working forever to please everyone. In my eyes this is a perfect render and I still get requests. Rotating the wheels etc, is out of the question for this render, it would take a lot of work besides re-rendering, a lot of post-process would be needed to redo shadows, dirt, etc. Please keep in mind that in the end this is just an artistic render I apologise that I won't be able to please every single one in this forum, but I am doing the best I can... considering I have a real life of my own -------------------- |

That is fine!
Your work is masterful, and while refinements can always be made (and from my experience even finished projects of passion are rarely ever *finished*), In my opinion you have more than accomplished your goal. While I can think of dozens of different environs I would love to see your model in, and a tweak here or there, it's not my model or my life! Again, excellent work and thank you for sharing your journey with us! -- Pertinax |
