Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

2007 Tahoe

Here is a 2007 Tahoe I've been working on. I did not model this vehicle, but did model the KC Lights, Grill guard, shocks and coils. I did the shaders, lighting and made some adjustments to the model to make it more of a 4x4. Here is a picture of what it looked like when I got the model.

Let me know what you think. Changes to make, things you noticed that I could address. Anyone know of a good tire modeling tutorial that would fit this vehicle?

Cheers!

I think overall it looks good though there are a few things that seem odd to me. I'm no expert on vehicles, but the chrome is a bit over the top to me, those two vertical pieces in the front seem like black holes, and the glow on the headlights seem to be ignoring the plastic and reflective surfaces.

Looks nice!

I agree with the points made by the others.

Who actually modeled the original car?

Nice improvements.
