man...this is awesome ! it`s amazing how you get such a good looking and detailed vehicle, realy good work, liked the concept too very convincing.
About the (GI_Joe render`s), one question, did you use a special shader or its just tweaking ?

Lots of tweeking and trying out different things, but what you see on those images, is a standerd grey maya shader, just started to change stuff within GI_Joe and it works quite well,
Most of the time anyways, For some reason, sometimes it dosen't look good. I am wondering if it has anything with scene size. Not sure. thanks for your reply,
Brian

Hello. I was wondering if I could get your opinion, I was wondering if you thought this looked better or worse with the wings please let me know, thanks guys for your time,
These aren't the final wings, and I will have spiffy supports for them like the thrusters, but I wanted to get your opinion before I finnish them thanks,
Brian

The bike and The motors, are suposed to be built by ET, as if he stayed here instead of going home, so I was wondering if the wings made it more believeable. THanks,

so... DO you think it looks better with or without the wings? If you like it, I am going to put stubby wide wings on the engine, but it will be more like a biplane. Thanks,
Brian
