Tire tracks

[Henry Blewer]

I seem to remember that wet dirt tends to curl where it has been squeezed out of the tire ruts.
It's the only real bad thing I can think of. Sorry Ulco. It's really very good.

Looks very good , Dune 
You know it too , but i think the only thing you could add is some soil patches  (broken ,fallen ones) in the middle on the tracks .
( Couldn't quite understand but this is the same what Njeneb says above maybe)

And while you're at it you should change the tire pattern,that smooth/flat
middlepart looks soooo wrong ,to me at least.

It's like when a kid uses a Play Dough factory. The mud gets squeezed up the tire sides, clumps, then falls off into a sort of solid tube shape. Pieces do end up in the track itself also.

Excellent! This could easily be mistaken for a photograph

I was sceptical on that til I looked closer. A bit more colour correction and that genuinely is a superb bit of terragen work.

I know about the tire profile. Who'd know I'd be studying tire tracks  Here's another version, but I get the impression the stalks don't really follow the sinus rows, have to check that more careful. And the loose bits of squeezed mud are an interesting challenge as well.

I'm sure you'll get your graduation in tiretrackology soon.

The latest render is really awesome! This reminds me of being a young teenager and working on various farms.

Looks really awesome Ulco. Very believeable.

[Dune]

Still have to change tires, and get the stalks on the tops instead of in the 'valleys', but the rotation is a fact. The displacement is a bit too much on the tops.

Specular on the vehicle is too rough. If you're going for a dirty/dusty look on the car, dirt doesn't increase roughness of the specular, it masks its intensity. The specular itself should have a very low roughness to create a very tight highlight.

Very realistic work Ulco, I really like it!
Nice fence model too. Did you model it yourself?

Cheers,
Martin

great job Ulco, also reminds me of the years i spent working in the Bollenstreek near the dunes...great scene!

[Dune]

Thanks guys, and you were just in time, Matt, I was just starting another render, but changed the reflection roughness from 0.1 to 0.02. It's an added reflective shader (RT) after which some dirt PF. Next one will also have better tire tracks and puddles of water.
@Martin: self modeled, indeed.

[Dune]

Somehow this render took ages (3x the last one), and it might be the water, although masked out (but slightly curved with the soil). It may also be the more reflectiveness in the lower parts...
