Wow...what a week.  I had a heck of time with this one.  I wish I knew what some of you others did to make the really awesome life like looking one.  I had trouble getting the directx shader to work properly and even when it did start rendering properly it still didn't look glossy or anything.  Anyway as you can see my final project in all its glory.  I think I just ran out of gas this week.  My brain could not wrap around any of the stuff we had to do.  My dirt map was shoddy, the scratch map doesn't look like scratches, nothing went my way this week.   Overall I'm not really happy with it but I have done all i can do, 3D texturing is something i need a lot of practice on still.  Anyway I know no comments are required this week but if you want to let me know what you think I would appreciate it.  See some/all of you next quarter.

Looks like it will be late Saturday at the earliest to get this posted for me.  The UVW unwrapping is taking a lot of time.  I am just curious though, did anyone else have to manually size the trailer parts?  Every time I tried it the trailer would squish itself into the little box in the uvw unwrapping window and I couldn't figure out how to do it so I manually sized it and have been having a heck of a time getting everything placed correctly.  I thought I might actually make it on time until I got to step 163, the 'oh yeah all that stuff we had to do for the cab, do it to the trailer now, next step is when you have all that done.'  Anyway, I hope to have it up by Saturday night.
