Wanted to create something simple where I could apply what I've learned during my first week here at CGcookie.
Uploaded two images. One showing the wireframe without subdivision, and a rendered image with subdivision enabled.
Didn't manage to get the chrome material on the wheel sides to look like I wanted. Nevertheless amazed with what I've learned so far and looking forward to learn more :)
This toy train model and the render turned out excellent! Good job. :-)
I haven't done much with texturing yet. It looks like you have 3 different levels of reflectiveness on this which produced a nice result.
That looks pretty good, especially for someone just starting out! One thing I see in your wireframe is that you have an ngon (a face with more than 4 sides) on the back of your model, you will probably want to remove that :)
