cheers t1ck135! user added image

This project should be fun to do. I'm also going for photo real on this project. I was going for photoreal on my easter island challenge entry also, but time just wasn't with me. I wanted to put alot more into the heads and have an enviorment in with it, but I'm satisfied with how it turned out anyway, and I got 8 votes to boot. Thats not bad at all! user added image

Will have some stuff to show in a few days. I was waiting till after thanksgiving to actually start work on it. The leadup to thanksgiving at my theater is always pretty busy, and I work more hours during that time. The same thing goes for the christmas also.

Cheers for stopping by my thread ! user added image

Man, have I been lazy lately. Anyway, here is a concept scene I rendered out just as a previsualization. I used and Audi and duped it a few times. This is just a start of a long series of wips. I believe I'm going to have to model the race track and stands first.

I didn't model the cars, they are just there to get the idea across. I got the car's here from the free models section.

Going to start the race track first. It's the biggest and most detailed piece.

I'm starting to get a feel for where you are going. Can't wait to see the first lay out of the track.
