Older style truck tire with modeled heavy tread

[R Reynolds]

This is something I've been putting off doing because I knew just bump maps weren't going to cut it for such exposed and prominent tread lugs. But the worst part was joining all the loose splines for each rotated segment copy. Although I simplified the tread pattern on the real tire, it's still not absolutely crease free and at 3156 it's a bit patch heavy but it should hold up to an arm's length inspection. Still working on materials. [url="http://www.netcore.ca/~reynolds/examples/truck_wheel_WIP.htm"]truck wheel WIP[/url]

It's hard to say that a tire looks great, but it does. Excellent work there.

Extreme Modelling! It's your trademark. ;) Ditto on the quality. Looking at your tire starting me to thinking about how to give some air and a tire squish system using CP weights. Looks like an interesting experiment.
