She went to Sin City in her new Cadillac and a bundle of cash; spent three days there and lost is all. She traded her vehicle for a Mini and a little more cash; but, in short order, lost all that cash too.
Now, she is trying to barter with the proprietor of the service station for a tank of gas with her Rolex watch so she can get back to Phoenix albeit with empty pockets ...will she make it?
This project was a fun experience learning about new techniques. The following are the elements I used for the image:
• dandelO's 'Top Gear' .tgd file available in File sharing. Learning about the use of the simple shape shader; creating a road; and, another way to create vegetation/populations (grass clumps) was especially good.
• Gas station by Meshbox - many thanks Mark.
• Mini Cooper available at Ashundar.
• The glossy finish and window reflectivity and transparency techniques from Inkydigit - many thanks Jason.
• The Joshua tree and dried grasses from a friend.
• The Opuntia (prickly pear) cactus from XFrog.
Render time was a little more than seven hours - mostly for the car windows.
Enjoy,
Bob
