my project: tire rotation with fire. here is a link to a motion graphic which shows how i would want my project to look. click here Previous project idea: a car rim and tire with high detail My approach for previous project: Using my piece of terrain, i will wrap that around to make a circle that would be the tire shape. I would've used lab9 as my framework and would make a heightmap for the tire tread and the rim and use it to make a somewhat realistic looking tire and rim. The issues: I was not able to make any changes take effect. Tried to transform or rotate the terrain with no luck. Some progress of this approach: Now my approach for my project: I used lab 7 as my framework since we have created a cylinder with textures on there. I will be modifying that cylinder to make my tire and wheel from it. Particle system is based on Prof. Gordon's 3350's lab1 particle system. Tire/wheel: some progress with my particle system: end result: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- lab6: lab9:
