VW Custom Campers

Well this is my first project that I have completed in 3D. I don't think it's that bad, onday I might make a showroom to put them in.

My prefered area is modelling so I find all this lighting and texturing thing a bit abstract. But hey, that's all part of the learning process.

Coments welcome as always.

Nice work. Good modelling, the only thing that might need a touch up might be that seam on the roof, but other than that, it is a well done model. user added image

I know, I tried a smooth but that didn't seam to fix it. I decided to call it a day on the campers (at least for the time being) and work on my current WIP's
