[3DMAX]|[SA] How to make a GTA SA style wheel

[.:Rodrigo:. 0]

First, this isn't a step by step tut. You need to have some experience with Max before starting this tut, but don't be afraid, is not that hard

 

What you'll need:

 

-3DS Max*

-Basic 3DS Max knowledge.

 

*30 days trial

 

The textures I used were:

 

-vehicletyres128 Located in: vehicle.txd @ models\generic

-enforcer92wheel64 Located in: enforcer.txd

-vehiclegeneric256 Located in: vehicle.txd @ models\generic

 

Let's start with a Cylinder. I'll be working with this specs:

 

Radius:39,015

Height:17,769

Height Segments:1

Cap Segments:1

Sides:18

 

1-First convert to EP (Editable Poly) Well, now go to face mode and extrude and scale a couple of times to make the wheel look rounder, like in the picture.

 

 

Once you did that, repeat the step 1 but this time extrude with negative values e.g: -1,5

 

It should look like this now:

 

 

2- Now let's make the rims. You should use the texture you choosed as a guide. I will use this one: enforcer92wheel64 This is all about using Extrude and Inset to get the look you want.

 

 

3-Now we have to optimize the wheel. Let's go to the Top viewport. Now select these edges:

 

 

And now press Connect.

 

Now go to Face mode, select these faces and delete 'em:

 

 

Now go to Vertex mode and select these vertexs in the Perspective viewport:

 

 

Then in Edge mode select and Connect these edges:

 

 

If you did everything as I said your wheel should be splited into 4 parts. Delete the ones selected:

Interesting tutorials for beginners mate, might be interesting for SA wheels

 

You should put that you need to be in editable poly mode too, at the start
