the sand looks like...not sand. make the texture lighter and double theamount it's wrapped (if it's 1x1 textures then make it 2x2 ect.)

you look at the picture without looking at the caption thingy, you think: either that's a really big sandbox, or its a toy car.
of course, both have been mentioned previously in this thread.
if its a sandbox, put in the wooden boundary things that stop the sand spilling out so that you can tell its a sandbox. right now it just looks a car placed randomly in a desert or somewhere flat and sandy... "boundless and bare/where the lone and level sands stretch far away."
er... anyway...
nice car. i think a driver could fit if he were skinny.;)

It's just a 2d image - I tweaked a selection in Photoshop to get the shadow.

Thats one bad-ass Carl-shivan. I.. uh... too bad its 2d. I'd give a lot of money for a model.

Got them to load this time. Nice car there; it has the "toy look" that it is supposed to convey. ;)

Has anyone tried asked Volition for the Shivan and Vasudan models? If those aren't Interplay property, maybe they will give them to us... ;)

The point is, it's not a proper render. I did it in less than 5 minutes: didn't even put a bump map on it. Just a plain turbulence fractal. That would explain the only passing resemblance to sand :p
The whole of the picture is one big internal joke. If you don't get it, don't worry - you are probably better off not knowing...

Oh, and all the people who can't view it: Copy+Paste the address into a new window. The server I use is (almost) as bad as Geocities...

Glad I could make you all laugh, anyway :)
