This reminds me of something I saw as a sailor. I was on one of the
ships which participated in the evacuation of civilian dependents from
Subic, after the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo, and the ash from the volcano
looked like this, draped as a fine layer over /everything/.
As a minor nit, the inside surface of the fender shouldn't accumulate
snow, should it? How would it get there?

You probably should at least add a slope threshold to the snow macro,
because it would not stick that much to the material in this case.
Anyway it look funny.

You're still missing the gun rack.

hhhmmm... now I gotta try it with grey snow....
Nah, ash doesn't do that overhang thing....

I don't see it. Waitaminit... You mean under the center stake
pocket? That'd be caused by my forgetting to put a bottom in the
pocket.

It's YOUR macro. I'm waiting to see if you come up with that option.
Reminds me of something else that was happening when I had twice as
much snow in the scene. The snow sitting on the outside of the fender
was overhanging right through to the inside of the box. I thought I'd
done something bizarre in modelling the box...

Thanks. I keep plugging away at the truck model and every time I see
something interesting my render times go through the roof.

That has to wait until I model the cab. (AAArrrggg...that's gonna
hurt!)

Ooohhh... I like!
Much better than the ones I already came up with. I put a set
together from Tyre.inc, but theyre pretty basic. I've got a photo of
the actual tread pattern on my tires to use with that INC file, but
it's gotta wait until I get the film developed.

Hmmm.. Surely what you really need is to take the wheel of the truck
and bring it inside, have it next to your computer at all times.
And if it's not your truck I'd suggest that you take the wheel off
under the cover of darkness, and if you get caught you can tell
the truth, you were only borrowing it for a few weeks untill you've
finished your current scene.

Thought of that...
2 small problems:
1) This would make it very difficult to get to work. Thereby making
it very difficult to pay the bills. Thereby making it very difficult
to keep my internet feed and electricity. Thereby possibly putting a
serious crimp on my raytracing abilities...
2) Not much room amoung the computers for 16.5 x 9.50 tires...

Is my truck. I thought of bringing the whole truck in next to the
computer, but the same rule applies to a 3/4 ton, 4 door pickup as to
it's tire...
