John, I think we all know you have great modelling skills, but If we didn't, we certainly do now.
And as usual the final composition is stellar.
Great work! -
Nice, John...very nice.
If I was picky(which I'm not), I'd say there's only one thing left...if you look closely behind the back tire, way off in the distance, there's one of these missing: CAT D12. I think it would balance the composition just a teeny bit better.

Great job Tadema! You watched the 5.5 hr. video twice? What dedication. I hope it was well made. And the 9.5 hour includes the renderings? (not talking about cook time)
Beautiful picture, despite the ravages we have dealt the earth. I could see adding a cottage in there about to come down the cliff.(D12

Thanks Dale, not sure about skill it's all down to a great piece of software that's easy and fast to use. Everyone's model starts off as a single line.
Thanks Marcus, I've added a loading shovel in PS.
Thanks Peter, I watched it twice, yes sad I know

Very impressive vehicle!

I have never figured out how to make "randomly grungy" surfaces, which, of course make your rendered model so realistic.
Would it it possible for you to post the grungy yellow material you used so I could see how it's done?
-
Thanks Pilou.
Bob, I used PS rust and grunge brushes which is easier than overlaying a rust material, it preserves your back ground colour. A quick search on google http://designm.ag/resources/rust-brushes-for-photoshop/ one of hundreds. If I have time today I'll make a quick tut.
take care

Hi,
This is (again) a very impressive work.
Although they all deserve it, I can't comment all your works but this one's theme being different from the others, your talent is even more obvious.I just can't wait to read a texturing tutorial!
-
Brilliant John! It ROCKS!
-
Brilliant - as ever...
From castles to cottages... now to heavy plant...
I feel another tutorial publication on its way ??My son works of the NE architects for Caterpillar's plant at Peterlee - just along the road from you.
He was modeling the new entrance buildings etc and needed a big truck like that for a view [he ended up photoshopping it in] - you've made one that's just one size too big for what they want to have on display! -
Excellent modeling John and the rendering is superb...my youngest is in to trucks right now and this is he's favorite...

Thank you for the comments
Nicolas, sorry I didn't have time yesterday and I'm away this morning for a week, but as soon as I return!
TIG, small world. Last year whilst waiting for the wife (Dewhursts
) I sat watching the very building under construction. Had I known would have modeled the truck for him FOC of course.
thanks again

Wow.

I used to drive a smaller version of this, it also had deployable railway bogeys ! As usual Tadema well done mate, this is giving me flashbacks to my Tonka days.
