Work in Progress: Tunnel

Redbull...why are you so amazing?
Tunnel work in progress.
Figured i would make a cool tunnel scene with cars flashing by in high speed!

****Updated 2/26 ****


Got most of it textured, only problem is the wall texture being weird.
Figured i will end with what i have tonight and dream of a way to fix it.
Im just to tired now lol!

Work In Progress: USB Cable

I set a goal for myself every weekend to do make something epic or learn something new with 3D modeling. Here is my work in progress of a USB cable. I'll be posting updates as i go along.
Goal is to model, texture, and render it to be photorealistic.

****Update**** Feb 21st


Had a few mechanical problems with Maya this weekend. Will be adding cable later.
Changed the size of the metal connector to be more realistic.
Rendered it out, need to fix the material on the metal piece to be more shiny.
Enjoy! hope you like my work so far!
