Modeling tutorial in Maya - a tire tread - Part 5: adding the bump map

In this tutorial I show how you can model a high polygon tire tread in Maya... it's 5 videos goin' from poly modeling over a simple UV layout and finally taking a bump map to put it on the tire.

Any comments or critiques are very welcome!

If you have any problems just contact me and I try to help you out :-)

cheers

@sircharlesgraham

If you want to have a clean "new" tyre you could take the mia_material_x rubber preset :-)

Note: in photoshop hold down shift+alt while you're resizing a layer. Result: this will resize the layer and the center of that layer will stay still. :)

Awesome video btw! :)
