Project CAR! 3rd of May

hey, so tonight i received a proxy model of the car i will be working with on the project for my cousin and his team. The car i recieved is a obj from there 3d software there using (not sure which on) when it came into maya it came in as nurbs and curves (image below)

 

I transferred it to polygon as i prefer to work with Polygons. heres the image of that.

now heres the environment that was created in Vue Xstream, I have found it very hard to scuplt a mountain to a flat surfuce, for instance creating a road. Here is a long shot of the place without the road in place.

 As you can clouds haven't been added yet nore has background mountain etc, buts it coming along. next image is me putting a road and the car in. The road was very tricky to sort out, in the final result I just extruded the road into the mountain so it didnt look like it was floating.

Here is the car with a simple default mental shader on it. The team asked for red so i agreed.

9 minutes to render this image which isn't to bad, but i know the time will increase when adding a few clouds and making the road more like a road. I also added a few more trees and changed some of the textures in the background. 

Deadline is after next week, and I hope I can achieve an end result that will help there project.

Thanks and let me know what you think

Rich.
