Hi all, long time no see

Here are 2 pictures which represent a 3D model in a realistic environment.
Both cars were first modeled in their original state (I think you all can guess which type of car ^^) and modified towards concept cars (XUV).
The catch was that the models needed to fit inside their respective environment.
This means materials, shadow casting and texturing.
Qua dirt and snow, the textures aren't fully optimized but in the end the result was quite pleasing.
Important to note is that the first model was made by the static modeler of our Facing Extinction Team. The second one was made by myself

Btw, for those who are interested, project Facing Extinction is still rolling

All C&C welcome,
