More Lip though your looking for concave ....More lip anyways!
to many spokes for me but I would say A. Assuming these are all just roughly modeled rims whats the time table on modeling one of those? Give or take 2 hour? You should take a gander at Highend3D...they have free shaders that are availible for almost every 3D program, random people build them and allow for Download. I think bringing more realism to these shots would help us decide. Theres actually 2 or 3 for Maya alone that are specifically called chrome wheel shader, Im not sure how many for what your using. I wanna say 3dsmax or softImage. Last edited by Zerafian; 08-16-2009 at 12:31 AM. |

It seems that these particular rims that we are asked to take a poll on are just all spokes. Some of the best designs are those that utilize a mixture of spoke and circular cut-outs with rivet patterns outlining the circumference of the relief. Stuff that is just all spokes has been done a million times before by a variety of wheel manufacturers.
I am not saying that it should be gaudy but it can certainly be more original than just a bunch of spokes flung onto the rim like the old proverbial ferris-wheel. Damn where has the imagination and art of design engineering gone in this day and age? |

Economy has nothing to do with it. Its what you really want to put into the part about thinking out of the box. If you just want to rush something to market to satify simple design tastes rather than classier design tastes then you don't have to do alot of original thinking.
