Progress Shots
Sectional Array
Used a reference photo for the exact tire's tread and traced a single section. Expanded this section through the use of arrays.
|
Array Modification
Had to fix the special gapping in the array since the tracing did not work perfectly due to the natural slope in the tire in the photograph.
|
Sidework
After completing the tread of the tire through the array and applying it to a circular curve it was time to begin construction the sidewall of the tire.
|
Tread Circle
After completing a tread section set the array to fill a circle and defined the outer section of our tire.
|
Ambiance
Started working with lighting, raytracing, and influences to get better lighting so I could start working on the small details of the tire (and see them!)
|
Displacement
Toyed with lots of Displacement settings for my sidewall mapping, but just couldn't get happy with the outcome. Manipulated mapping instead to get a more satisfactory output.

Reference Photos
These photographs were completely stolen off of the internet and I have no idea who to source. Please note, these pictures are NOT my own work, nor do I claim them to be so. They were simply used as references in the development of my 3D work. If the photo is yours, please let me know and I will mark the source and link to the original.
