GAZ 53 Truck

Kirsanov

Hello everybody! I'm working on a model of an old Soviet truck GAZ 53. I haven't done many vehicles before, thus it is a little bit tricky to do such a thing.

What do I have so far:
- 95% complete hi-poly model.
- Low-poly wheels, bumper, and front panel (with GAZ logo) baked form hi-poly.
- Transparent front headlights.

And this how it looks like













I keep tinkering with Zbrush and nDo to add some extra details to the overall image, hence the truck is a bit worn. Currently I have touched only the textured parts with this stuff.

Crits appreciated!

Your shapes look really solid and the textures on the tires are promising. Can't wait to see more!

Thank you guys for the replies!
I had very little time this week, so there aren't a lot of changes since then.
Started to work on the cabin, especially making the low poly version. No textures of it for now, just some color.

I hope next week I will have more time.

Update.
Added some dirt to the cabin, worked with its material to make it look better. Textured some extra parts. The cabin and the fenders are not done yet, there are still some annoying artifacts and undone parts.

truck looks really cool also those tires looks awesome. btw, where did you render this ??

Very nice indeed, have you modeled the exhaust? I assume you have.

Perhaps even go further and make variants of it, perhaps an off-road style with replacement wheels and storage box on the roof of the cabin etc or even a desert version with spades and jerry cans or something, just a suggestion

wow really love the blue material, looks perfect

Thank you for the replies

BradleyMAdams The exhaust pipe will come later, when I finish the internal-bottom parts. And yes, I am going to use this truck in a scene with some extra details on it.

Really nice texture work so far. I personally would have made the wood around the truck bed look unpainted or at least a different colour (like this: http://cs1.worldofmods.com/screenshots/f80ce/2015-04/original/930ce3ddf893ae70ec8e43cba5ce175ae3b68e75/149044-SpinTiresRelease-2015-04-14-16-34-01-579.jpg ) but other than that it is awesome. Keep up the good work!

Kinda resurrecting this thread.

Since I didn't have enough time dedicated to this project, there are no extras added. Just a simple model. I am currently working on my portfolio, and maybe I will add some extra objects later. But, for now it looks like that:
