Due to our love of the jeeps, I'm going to have to point out the jeep looks off. The flares are WAY oversized and the wrong shape,you can probably save some polys here (not sure what your budget is) because the shape you have is more rounded and the real ones are more angular. The hood bump is a bit to pronounced and has a red outline showing through the texture on the front of it. The front bumper situation is completely wrong with the brush guard as opposed to a winch and fogs. The seat textures are the wrong color and are missing details (could be modeled or could be built into a good high res texture (IE the seat back pockets). The inside of the winshield should be tan not red. the tires should be inside/even with the flares not sticking out. The outside rear mirrors both brackets and shape are off. The front bar that connects the roll bar to the windshield is to big (it is smaller in diameter than the rest of the rollbar, and the windshield frame is to thin as that bar is smaller than the windshield frame and it should have roll bar padding. There is also some werid black connection point that looks like it connects the door to that bar.. that doesnt exist. What does exist is the softtop frame which is very complex and does go in about that position, but personnally I would not model it.
The explorer on the other hand looks very close... there is something funky about the wheel model as there are some funny shadows going on there, and its evident at all angles so I think its a model thing not a rendering thing. For some reason the bubble canopy back end is rendering at a different color than the red paint. The gray circles on the front track sensor should be bubbles.
Your Raptor pen is awesome!
The visitor center needs a higher res roof texture.
This is the reason I joined up
I amended the Ford Explorer, turns out those dome bits on the front were on another layer that was hidden so an easy fix. Also sorted the roof by adding the same specular material
I don't mind a bit of criticism, makes me a stronger modeller in fact a lot of the stuff in my Shapeways store
http://www.shapeways.com/shops/predpaul has been improved from customer feedback before and after they have purchased. I'll be fixing all those jeep parts, don't you worry
Thanks for the advice
