The Mercury Cruiser

GabeLamas

Hello all! Another concept vehicle that I had in mind for a while is the Mercury Cruiser, which is a light speeder vehicle used for quick transit. Sometime in the future I plan on texturing, animate, and composite this vehicle, but for now please C&C and enjoy!

So I finally have am update regarding this concept vehicle. After going back to some video tutorials that I could find I made particle effects, or smoke if you'd rather. I've also animated it to give it some more life. Again, this is a test render, so please give me your comments.

Finally updated this models' textures and lighting. Take a look-see.

Renders with lightbox, Phong shader, and Particle FX.







TextureMaps (Color, Normal, Specularity, Occlusion, Cavity)

The sizes are going to be smaller in the final version. I'm just keeping them all 2048x2048 for rendering purposes.

Hey all. After dealing with this vehicle and my Futuristic Shuttlecar, I've decided to make a video turntable composition to add the finishing
touches to this model. As stated in the video description, the turnatble includes textures, particle effects, and animation (for what
I could do for a vehicle in a passive animation). I'm liking where the model is at, but I would like some feedback nonetheless. Feel free to Comment and Critique.
