Modeling is completed and I started on the texturing. I have tried to show stainless steel on the main body to test the reflections. Here are four shots of the completed cart before texture Steve

Nice job Stian! Steve

Very nice! Steve

This has been fun and I have used some of the wizards in modeling I have not used in a while Steve

Hot dog cart is nearing completion as far as the modeling goes. Here is a wireframe. i have to get the condiments tray completed and then the wheels. I have started those and hope to have them on tomorrow. Work is starting to interfer. Anyway here is a shot Steve

Hi Gene Well Done on the tree. It is really looking good Steve

Excellent references! Thanks Gene. Steve

Thanks Guys! For those that have been to the big cities, I am working off a 1950 style vendor cart. So help me or correct me if I am doing it wrong. Steve

Next up is the hot dog cart. Here is a shot of the beginning. Steve

Help What is the best way to place characters in the bus? To get him into place took me forever and I am still not happy. Also what is the best way to place lights on the bus? Got the wipers on the bus. Got to rig the bus. I hope to see how Mark rigged the trucks Steve busgeorge.mov

Very nice Gene!

Mark Do you setup info to rig an auto? Steve

I am trying to place lights in the action for the bus. Is there a trick to this as I can not get the lights to turn on in the action or chor Steve

Here is the shot of the bus spline corruption. Not sure what caused it. Notice under the second window from rearof the bus the black dots. These dos are evident all along this spline on both sides (copy/flip/attached). If I remove this spline the entire model distorts. I restore this spline and all is well except for the blemishes during the render. I like who the mesh turned out on the grills Steve

Thanks the only thing is the advertising panels and a couple of decals on the tires and she is done. Steve Ran into some corruption of the model. and so to cover it I am placing the adverts on the bus.

Just about finished. Steve busfive.mov

I could not stop. All the seats are in and now I have to paint. I have decided on paint scheme and hope to have it done this weekend. Ready to start on the next guy in the short. Steve

Here is a shot before the paint to give a reference Steve

Thanks for the comments. I have to paint the bus and put in the grill and ac unit on top. After that I am finished. Steve

I have been sick for several days and have not felt like doing much. Had a few minutes this evening and finished the rear end. Rendered these shots and found several mistakes. corners on the back front doors hanging, etc. I will complete these items but as little time as the bus will be on screen, i am not going to kill myself finishing a detailing it out, which would be fun. I will keep this project around and visit it later. Good news is I found some help with the short. Voices, texturing, music and several other things I will not have to kill myself to complete. Here are the pics Steve

Here is an update. Getting close to painting the bus and calling it done. Got both sides now completed and doors in place. I keep forgetting how little time the shot of the bus will be on screen. Steve
