Wheels: Post your fancy rims and tires!

[SNap]

I suck at doing wheels, rims so I made this thread. Hopefully I will get better in the future.

This is what I've "experimented" today :D. It is made out of a cone and a cyllinder and it is supposed to be the rim of a Porche 356. It looks like crap.

[Silver Bullet]

Does not look that bad ... :)

Here is my best rim to date ..

[SNap]

The center bit looks a bit strange to me.

[Silver Bullet]

Ya .. it needs the BMW logo .. i have not had time to put it on ....

[Dire Wolf]

Here is my Porsche Rim.

Polymodeled in Max 5.1, rendered in brazil. If anyone wants some info on how I did it, let me know.

[SNap]

Idon't understand how do you do the holes for the screws. Pretty hard to polymodel. Nice wheel dude!

[_tofu]

...well it's not fancy, but it's one of my later ones

[scott99]

OOOOOOOOOOOOooo now this is the thread i will love, i lovvvvvvveeeeeeeeeee doing rims, my fav thing about modeling a car :D:D:D sounds kinda bad but it works out lol, ill have some to post in a bit, right now im dead tired like usual

[scott99]

well, tried going to sleep and couldnt, wanted to make atleast 1 rim LMAO

well this is a partial "concept" rim that i just doodled out with splines, material sucks so sorry bout that... i usually do rims with poly but did this with splines to see if i could still do it lmao

sooooooo, here it is

[kingcobra]

heres a wire wheel...sometimes called "dubs" lol

[kingcobra]

this one is a "tuner" style wheel...

[kingcobra]

this one is a popular wheel from the 60's that has regained popularity with new 17" and 18" sizes...american racing torque thrust wheel with cast center section and machined lip...

[kingcobra]

this one is a convo pro drag wheel..called convo because of its convoluted rim desigh...they say its extremely light and strong because of this design...

[kingcobra]

this is the traditional "corvette ralley" wheel popular on most chevrolet musclecars in the 60's and 70's...and still very popular today.

[kingcobra]

this is a basic mesh type wheel..there are many variations of this wheel...

[kingcobra]

wanna see more?

[SNap]

Ahhh, now that you saw this thread, it is never going to stop.

[droopdog]

wow great thread!
here is my rim! its my first and my last, but i'm gonna make more!

[SNap]

Yeah, Im great at making threads arnt I. Im now making this super rim that will own all rims around the world.

[R2Wrace2win]

dubs eheh need to make some spinners :-D

[SNap]

Oh, Ive seen those. They are soo cool, when the car is moving the wheels dont turn but when it stops the wheels turn.

[R2Wrace2win]

thinking about it, they probable wouldnt be that hard to make.
They show on the retailer page just the spinner it self. and then the rim behind it. :-D Just search yahoo for "rims spinners"

[DBJ]

Just something I was toying with in Nendo. Max Meshsmooth works wonders!

[Samuel_Madrid]

Another one ;)

[neo_mosher_zion]

heres my viper rim

[Silverdog]

Three Dayton wire wheels with tires used in American dirt
track racing in the 1940-50 era.



Great thread and wheels:D

[Morzog]

Silverdog: Your wires look amazing. Any chance you could clue us in on how they were done

Neo: Your tire looks like sponge rubber, Not so great for a tire but very cool effect.

these are all low poly rims for grand theft auto : Vice city

http://www.accesswave.ca/~ogilvirr/Andrew/spinner2.avi
This is a little video render of the spinners (yes, spinners) we have ingame, this is not showing them ingame, but thats the rims ni max, on my 2F2F eclipse spyder

[Silverdog]

Morzog,
Thanks, glad you like them. Wires were modeled and rendered
in Strata 3D Pro 3.7 using a 'radial array'. You model one wire, place it in the proper location relative to your hub and rim and then make the desired number of radial array copies. Virtually all 3d model programs will do this as far as I know. Rim and hub were lathed.........Tire treads were also produced by radial array.

Oh ok, never tired that.

[Siris07]

Here is the very first rendering of any ties that I have made.

I will also post my most up-to-date rims and tires as well:D

[Tora_2097]

Hi there, what do you think about my rim/tire combination? It is based on the Ferrari Enzo design.

[Kujoe]

;)

[scott99]

another concept rim, thinking about giving this one away :D:D:D:D but i think i finally concord chrome, maybe, think it still doesnt look like it, bu anyway, 3hours to model only because i didnt take any short cuts, its all 1 piece and welded together besides for the little post things........... and i always tend to make the lug holes way too small but its all good :cool:


59minutes to render at 800x600 and, it might be too bright, sorry , as you may or may not know, still working on a very dark monitor :roll: :grr:

oh yeah, heres the pic :o :p :D

[Morzog]

Kujoe: Tire is very nice. Is the tread a bump?

scott99: Yeah I'd say that's chrome. All my rims come out lookin like crap.

[scott99]

ehhe, my next challenge is to get car paint to look right :D but i am going to model a car to go with these rims, even know the rim alone is 160000 poly's LOL



btw, if you want your chrome to look like that and you have brazil.... use the brazil chrome material and put glossy reflections at 93 and voila, you have that material :D

[Kujoe]

scott that real nice:D

Morzog ya,why? it don't look that good?;)

[ShinDig]

Ok here is mine nothing that great,it is my first Rim and probably my last for a while, got to learn the basic's in 3d first!!

[Morzog]

Kujoe: actually I thought it looked really good and wanted to know how you did it. Mine always come out lousy.

[Kujoe]

Oh ok..I'll send you the hole max file if you want..;) how old are you?

[Radarhead]

I've got a crap-load of tires an rims but here's just one.

[Dire Wolf]

I had a few people ask me how I modeled my rims, I thought I would post it here so everyone can know. :)

1. Create a cylinder with sides and cap amount you need. (Differet for each rim style, cant remeber how many I did.)

2. converted to a poly and deleted the polys you dont need. You want to create a single spoke.

3. Fix up the remaining polys to look like the screenshot in the attached

4. Array the single spoke and attached/welded. For some funny reason I need to convert to mesh then convert back to poly for the meshsmoothing to work right. I think it has to do with the triangles.

5. All done.

[sarN]

heres mine
poly modelled hehe, dono how long it took me lol

[neo_mosher_zion]

my rims

[Morzog]

Kujoe: That would be great. I am old lol. weeddan@hotmail.com

Radar: Awesome as usual. I did your rim tut it came out great, thank-you.

Dire: Thanks. To get the cylinder to work properly add a turn to poly modifier then collapse the stack. Should become editable poly with no more problems.

sarN: Looks like a Chrysler rim with that five point star in the middle. Nice wheel.

Neo: Snake wheel, cool.

[Kujoe]

Morzog
Hi, ok I'll send it .asp.but do you brazil render?if not I'll send it anyways..
I learned how to do tires from Edd.thanks Edd.
Morzog
I use the tube for the tires.

http://development.twhsi.net/korx/ShellbyGT500E-Wheel.jpg your tread bumpmap is inverted...open it in photoshop and click negative...then resave it...you have the grooves raised and the tread sunk in. looks funny that way

orrrrrrrrrrrrr, you can do it the easy way :P@kingcobra :D if you have a positive number on the bump section, [example: bump: [30]] is the standard setting for it in max..... just make it a negative and it will make the bumps go the other way.... :D

so if the number is possitive, make it negative, if it is negative, make it possitive :D

orrrrrrrrrrrrr, you could just hit the invert button in the 'output' rollout in the max material editor, i assume other apps have a similar function :P

[Siris07]

If he is using Radarheads tread map... which it looks like he is, then he does have the bump right. See image below. if you notice on his tread on the bottom of where the raised part should be, there is a darker shadow than above. Meaning he has the tread correct. If that makes any sense. Although I could be mistaken as well:D

[Eric_Cartman]

Alfa Romeo 158

http://www.crystalmadness.com/images/wip/007_04.jpg

[kingcobra]

that map is correct...but his tire for some reason is wrong...the top of the tread is sunk in...its reversed.

[Siris07]

I guess I'm just not seeing the tread as being reversed. I'll just explain what I'm talking about, then ill just leave it as the tread being reversed. On the image below above the red line is the dark part I was talking about that would only be that dark if the tread was raised correctly. I circled it where its the easiest to see so It makes it easier to see what I mean. If noone else sees this then I appologize for posting this. That's it from me then.

I do appologize Korx for drawing on your render but it was the only way I could explain myself:)

[korx]

HEY! You made my tire all ugly!!

hehe, thanx for the input on it, even though i wasnt expecting any. Yes its radar's tire tread bumpmap. Im still a noob in some respects :)

korx

[Siris07]

Again Korx I do appologize for messing your tire up. I hope you can forgive me:D

Dan

[korx]

Ok Siris07, only if you turn me into a modeling GOD! :cool:


korx

[Siris07]

Let me know how I would go about doing that, and I'll think about it:p

[Siris07]

This is just for you cause I feel bad:D

Here is Korxs' tire before I drew all up on it. Much better without the red markings, lol.

[korx]

Man your a post spammer!

Um, hey i am too now i guess. Any way, stop posting MY tire dang it. Its MINE! ALL MINE!!

Oh and that render took like 10 years on my little 1ghz P.O.S. So i arnt gona reneder it again.. ever...

I need me a Dual AMD64 with 4g of ram :D

[Siris07]

K. All done now.

[korx]

good.. :(

[Kujoe]

the side wall it radarhead.I made same but there not that good .I just keep trying;)

[Kujoe]

:p

[SNap]

Trying is the first step to failure.

[novoAlias]

trying is also the first step to sucess

also:
if at first you dont suceed, then skydiving isnt for you

your point??

l8rz

[Radarhead]

Modeled tread, splined rim, edited as a poly.

[Siris07]

Lookin' great Radarhead. Do you think we can see more of the tread of your tire that's modelled?

[Radarhead]

This is a different, narrower tire but it's similar to the other one.

[korx]

wo0pitydooooo :roll:

http://korx.twhsi.net/car-wheel.jpg

[novoAlias]

actually its good but were do the bolts go?

[korx]

You glue them on :D

[novoAlias]

lol

[kaptk2002]

these are just some eagle alloys I've made for a ranger I'm playing with.

the tire is bump mapped and open for suggestions.

the wheel is billet textured thanks to daniel buck's tutorials.

I'm new to modeling so I'm not quite ready for a scratch car yet without some experienced help but i can modify the crap out of them.

[kaptk2002]

I made the bump map myself using photoshop.

also is there someone out there who would be willing to teach me how to make a car from scratch?

I'm looking to model in 3d the first truck i ever owned.

[Pete81]

Here is TSW Hockenheim made by me :). Its still little wip but I show the test rendering.

TSW Hockenheim (http://koti.mbnet.fi/ppentik/tsw_hockenheim.jpg)

Need to do the tire but I first finish the rim.

Im going to use those rims on my mk2 Golf model (http://koti.mbnet.fi/ppentik/testi.jpg)
Another test picture of mk2 Golf (http://koti.mbnet.fi/ppentik/testi2.jpg)

All modeled in Rhino 2.0 and rendered in 3dsmax5 default renderer.

[Kujoe]

Pete81
Thats nice clean rim you have there..On your car ,I think the headlights need work on the texture.The car looks great;)

[Pete81]

Kujoe: Thanks. You are right headlights texture need more work. I wanted to do something else for while and when Im finished with the rim I will continue the car.

[Radarhead]

Modeled tread. Splined and lathed tire, splined, surfaced tread with a couple of bend modifiers, converted to editable poly for beveling and extruding, then arrayed around the tire.

[Kujoe]

Edd your to cool.I have to try that.right now.I think it looks lot better.Got any tut for it..Its ok if you don't,It'll just take me a year to learn it..;)

[Radarhead]

No tut for it Ray since I came up with the method myself.

[RickStefani]

Haha, Same as my method. Still have not written a tutorial either. I use a latice and turn it like a rubix cube.

[Radarhead]

Spoked wheel. Same method for the tire but I don't do any twisting to it. The tread is arrayed as-is.

[Kujoe]

nice rim Edd ,work on this tire all day:(

[novoAlias]

nice spokes... sweet :D

[Kujoe]

Edd you got me going on spokes;)

[Pete81]

Finished the tsw hockenheim rim yesterday.
Clay rendering (http://koti.mbnet.fi/ppentik/tsw_hockenheim2.jpg)

[Kujoe]

guess no one likes it:(

[novoAlias]

lol its nice kujoe, i wonder why the reflections r so complicated, isnt that a chrome ior setting or something?

[Kujoe]

LOL:o .Here it is..;)
http://www.splutterfish.com/gabry_hdri_tut_tmp/

[novoAlias]

hehe, i meant that the amount of hdri reflections makes it looks wierdly anti aliased i meant that is there a setting that means that the reflections are 'smoothed'

[keescopyright]

Thought idd give this thread a wake up call... Anyway it may not be a radarhead but its about the tire mostly.. crits welcome...

[SNap]

I think you should make the tire bigger/wider and remove the texture or bumpmap it. I also think the tire should be rounded on the sides because it looks a bit like its made of metal how you did it.

[Th3 ProphetMan]

here one i have for a ferrari 360... needs a bit fixing

http://forums.3dtotal.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=125125

[3Dway'OLife]

I wanna redo these rims looks like this is the post to put them.

How do i model them

[keescopyright]

Lookin good 3dwayolife, but the bump map looks like crap, no offence, sharpen it up, or ahigher dpi in the picture should do it...

[3Dway'OLife]

The only map on it is the sidewall and yeah I know its crap.......just wanted to see it It would work.

I'm drawing the real one in illustrator that goes with the tread but I can't find a decent pic and I don't have a camera.

I've found the best way to get the face of the rim is to lathe then shapemerge. When I turn it to a poly it creates a horrible mess. Any ideas???

[keescopyright]

IM not sure if i know what you mean, but my advice is dont use lathe at all... but thats me, if you create a tube with a number of sides dividable by 3 at least so it fits in 360 and convert it to an editable poly... best thing to work with..

but the thread explains quite a lot..

[Emperor]

[3Dway'OLife]

Tried a new wheel for my new car and this is the result.

Has no desent materials as yet and I know the bump map on the tire is awful but anyway what ya think?

I've put a rendered version with the car into my SL600 thread

[Kujoe]

like the way you did the trend;) How many polys in that tire:???:

[3Dway'OLife]

I'm confused tire properties is 43848 faces
Render scene stats is 86184 faces, 1 object
in scene where tire is only object with no meshsmooth anyway

There are more vertices than faces, how does that work?

Did I not weld some of them?

check out the wire tire

[novoAlias]

in a quad, there are normally 4 vertices to 1 face.... that looks very dense for a render without meshsmooth....

[Kujoe]

Wow thats big ;)

[3Dway'OLife]

there aren't 4x the vertices to faces there are like 20 or so more

[lateott_156]

Here's my first rim... it isn't much (almost nothing at all in fact), but goddammit, I am proud of it!! :D

[Kujoe]

Looks great lateott_156

[lateott_156]

thanks, yours looks pretty good too... here's a shot of the rim of my RimCar :) :

[kennyliu]

Here're mine.

[JQuacker]

Sweet work Kenny, I wanna reach out and touch...:)

[legato]

quick question kennyliu....how do you make the materials for the rim?...

[kennyliu]

thanks JQuacker.
to legato, i made the rims' material just used max's blin, applied a falloff in reflection slot, applied a raytrace in falloff. this image rendered with max scanline, no gi used.

[Kujoe]

Sweet rims kennyliu
Great job:D

[scott99]

well i just now made this, i wanted to do a hard rim.... and i figured this one would be good....... maybe i was in over my head with this one cause it didnt turn out how i antisipated.... well, here it is





btw, i think i need a new hdri/material rofl :o

[scott99]

i decided to play with the materials.... heres the new one

[Th3 ProphetMan]

here my first wheel (from tutorial) done in rhino. it's the first thing i model after finishing the lintern (is is called that way?) tutorial that comes with rhino3... im happy with the result :) there are a few flaws but i'll try doing a cleaner one next time...

[Th3 ProphetMan]

here my second rim done in rhino... anyone recognizes what car this one is for? :D

[cage]

JDM style, SPOON wheel!
have a little problem with the lightning, it has always been like that. hope you like the design anyway!

[cage]

side mark test!

[lilCara]

man, mine must be the coolest! :cool:

lol

[3Dway'OLife]

Here's my latest render of my rims, trying to get the materials right.

Cage - I like the spoon wheels maybe a bit too dark though, whats the problem with the lighting?

http://www.peteraylward.co.uk/brabusk8/05%20-%20blinn%20unlocked%20ambiance%20light.jpg

[cage]

Thats just that, to dark.
If i ajust the lightning to the brighter, everything else becomes
to bright (if there is anything else in the scen)
and i think its hard to se some details such as the threads an stuff!

[Dire Wolf]

Love that rim texture 3Dway'OLife. Mind sharing the settings?

Model looks good too.

[3Dway'OLife]

I just used Kennyliu's settings basically. However I did use GI and 2 Omni's.

I've got a 2 screen setup and the brightness of the tire looked good on one of them but too dark on the other. Hows it look to you?

[kennyliu]

the rims looking good man.

[wreed]

How do you guys create your tread patterns? If you use a bitmap how do yo actually get or create it, I want to do the wheels on my car to see if I can make wheels....

http://www.restorekids.com/wreed/bmw/mansion2.jpg

I also have Kumho Tires and wish to do that tread.....also maybe one day pull off making my car in 3d!

[novoAlias]

is that your car? is that your house?:eek: :cool: :roll: ...
ANYway, yea, u can use an image file for a bump or displacement file, or you could use rick stephanies method, its in one of his threads, try the jeep thread.. other than that you could look in the fiat tutorial at www.3dtotal.com, its got something on treads using that method..

[USED]

Wreed is that your house OMG dude... um can I um have some money :D I will make your wheel for you :D but for real I would go with Blackwolf's suggestion... and once you have the hang of that you can make just about any tire tread you wish....

[wreed]

Yes its my car, hell no thats not my house, a old mansion that is up for walkthrough, I pulled the car up to a no car area quick snapped a ton of pics and then left....

If anyone is from NJ that Mansion is Skylands Gardens in Ringwood NJ....

Its funny that you thought it was my house....I would have a ferrari in front if that was my house, screw the beemer hehe.

Can you link me to the jeep thread?

[novoAlias]

chillin at the holidae inn.... ok ill find a link
good work at using a no car area :p

[3Dway'OLife]

I just managed to model the wheel i've been trying to do for months!!!!

I posted my progress about 2 pages back. Thought i'd give it a bash cause the wheel i'd just completed had tought me a lot and was near perfect

I started from scratch and did it in like 1 or 2 hrs:D :D .........I'm well 'appy might go back to the bimmer for a bit.

WREED - The best resource I ever found for tires was on www.suurland.com was about half way through the beatle section. Like most things when modeling something in 3d use images from which you can trace in a rough way to get the desired shape

[3Dway'OLife]

Sorry double posted, pressed stop too late:roll: removing it

[novoAlias]

oops, forgot to find the tread, i think you will find wat u r looking for here (http://forums.3dtotal.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=740&perpage=15&highlight=jeep&pagenumber=2) :D good luck

[SNap]

Time to revive this thread with my new Skyline Pennzoil wheel. Got pissed that my blueprints for the Skyline sucked so I enlarged the fenders, made a huge hole in the hood and turned into a Penzoil Skyline GTR (yellow car). The blueprints for that car are very good and I hope my model will be as accurate as possible. I will post some stuff on it soon (I want to finish the first half of it).

Anyway, about the rims. They are kinda accurate. There isn't much reference on the net but oh well. They will look great skinned with stickers on the spoke thingies. I got the Bridgestone Potenza logo's made in black and everything but I don't know how to turn them in a circle to fit on the side of the tire. Any ideas (for Photoshop)?

The rim is splined then poly-edited. No tire texture as the car is a tracked vehicle.

[Kujoe]

The rim looks great ,are you gooing to model the tire?:)

[SNap]

It is a tracked vehicle, what do you want me to model? Do you see nascar racecars having tire textures?

[VWporsche]

well... its nothing TOO special... modeled and rendered in maya...

http://24.161.88.72/wheel-2.jpg

[Kujoe]

Ya you don't have to make it a slick tire .You can model a tire and not texture it.

[3Dway'OLife]

Finally managed to get my M3 rims modelled almost how I want them, what do you guys think?


SNap007be - just render a version with materials and use a noise map to get a little something on the tire then it will look sweet

[Silver Bullet]

3Dway'OLife - VERY nice :eek: .... i think i am going to try to do them too ... hopefully it will not take too long :)

My AudiTT rims with a reflective material I tried to get chrome but oh well.http://home.comcast.net/~bobjoe727/AudiRim.bmp

[novoAlias]

materials still in progress.... brazil likes its pointillated shading....

[lilCara]

BlackWolf, the same thing happens to me too, how can I get rid of those grains?

[novoAlias]

up the view rate etc i think, i did so but there isnt much point without hdri

[lilCara]

it doesn't work by increasing the view rate, I tried...

Hey all ... looking good :)

Here is my 2nd rev (still WIP) of my BMW M3 CSL Rims

Crits welcome

[3Dway'OLife]

You got the face shape of the wheel looking good, think the profile needs a little work though.

Post a wire but maybe in its own M3 thread!

And remember the rear wheel is wider than the front and the profile is completely different

When we gonna see a wip of the M3?!?:D

[figo]

scott99 the first rim you posted looks awesome how do you make gold look like that can you post a little tutorial ?:roll:

[Silver Bullet]

Hey all,

This is pretty much final .. crits welcome

[3Dway'OLife]

Silver Bullet - They look good, only 4 problems as I see it

1 - Needs to be more rounded
2 - Needs to be more square
3 - the wheel bolt holes should be bigger than the other holes
4 - The inside lip of the rim should be bigger

Sorry for drawing on it but you do it too!:halo:

[3Dway'OLife]

SuB-ZeuZ: urs are lookin good man - keep up! :)

[Ape]

Something I made for my Audi S3:

[chrislee8]

Raven: that is not Chrome with Green, cause Chrome is Chrome, I make the Green Car Paint and tweak it a little bit to be like that.

g69: Thanks, I have to redo the Tire thread a bit. I want to make these set looks good by themselves first, then put them to my cars. :)

[Ravens]

Chrislee8, but i mean how do you do that green chrome in one wheel ??

[JQuacker]

Not much, but better than those cruddy rims that were on the Fiat.

Raven, I just assign different material to different part of the wheel. I select the green parts and assign them with Green material, select the chrome parts and assign them with Chrome material.
