Brighten it up as bit, the tire is pretty difficult to see much detail. Also for your plane below the tire, go to that material. Go to the shaders menu and check “Only Shadow” underneath Tra Shadow, by the specular and hardness sliders. It will make the plane invisible except for the shadow.
May I ask how you did the dirt on your tires. I currently have some tires I need to throw some dirt on and I havent decided quite how I want to go about it yet.
I think AO disregards the only shadow option. Try a render with it off. I haven’t had this issue in a while, but I think that’s how I solved it last time.
I think the brembro brake is not good. If anyone can show me a nice tutorial of a brembo brake will be good. ;D
The discs are a bezier circle and need a texture.
