hi guys, just spent the last hour and a half making a tutorial for agent arrow on how to model a car wheel, was expecting it only to take half an hour, because it took so long i thought i might as well give it you you guys also.
this is genrely for begginers to 3d modeling but might give a few tips to other people on a few things.
hope it helps
if you find anything confusing or wrong just post here and i will sort it out.

well, I'd love to see the tutorial, but this is what I get for clicking on it:

There could be a number of reasons for this:
a misspelt web address of the site you want
the page may need a suffix ending in .htm or .html
remember that Tiscali webspace addresses begin http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/directoryname. There is no www in the address.
the webpage itself may not exist.
There are likely other causes of this; either the site itself has not been activated, or the person who set the page up has not uploaded an index.html file.

312 polly's if used in its curent state for a motorbike, ie you see both sides you would need to add another 8 polys, other wise you might get away with taking some of the back polygons away, lower the slice count from 18 to the 12 to get a lower poly count (12 is the one milkshape uses automaticly) you would get 216, while this would be the close up version, for an lod version you probably wont need half of the back view, saving another 55, you may also find that even with the close up lod you dont need the back ones so that would be saving 75 polys of the 312, all depends on what your using it for.

Re: car wheel tutorial
Get started by grouping everything accordingly. Once everything is grouped, all we really need to do is use the set driven key to animate the wheel rotation, but first we need to figure out how far the car must travel for the tires to go a full 260 degrees.
