tire tread tutorials needed

porkovich

I'm interested if anyone knows of a good link to a tutorial on building tire treads in Max/Maya. I'm looking to build a tractor model and it would be helpful to gain some knowledge on the most efficient way to model the repeating tread pattern. Also considering a bake to normal for the treads since the final model is intended as a next gen asset. Thanks

I am actualy not the one for this but: Maybe google?

Hey guys,

This is my first post here (but I'm a long time lurker)

Anyways, my brother did a tutorial for Cgtuts+ awhile back that covers modeling a high res tire in Max... Might help you out.

Here's the link: http://cg.tutsplus.com/tutorials/autodesk-3ds-max/model-a-high-poly-car-wheel-in-3ds-max-day-2/

Cheers!
