Tuff Truck Animated Feature : Valley
Tuff Truck Competition Site
The alien modified vehicle is dropped to earth from the UFO it lands perfectly at the site location for the competition.
Modelling
Below are some progresive images from the modelling process. I have used displacement maps created from actual satelite images of the valley.
The trees used in these scenes are two planes (single poly) intersecting. I have used real photographs of trees from the site with opacity masks.
The grass used above has been created with a single poly plane a simple color material and a mask. The axample below uses 3ds Max’s hair and fur feature.
Below is a screenshot showing the placement of grass and two types of trees. I have used a particle emitter combined with a grayscale map to indicate where the specifice particles should proliferate.
Materials & Textures
I am experimenting with both procedural and normal maps to get the right look. All of the colours are referenced from origional photography.

The vehicle has been created to resemble the Tuff Truck Logo but also incorperated some “real” features and some “sci-fi” features as well. I have used a number of competition vehicles as reference.
