I’m in love with the RIM-
A little step by step on how you created it?? I make my rims using cylinders, masking, insert brushes/custom insert brushes, apha’s, and deformation.
thnx Dragon try too post some how too pix later
Right on Gary… looking forward to them. You see my friend, I am just trying to see if there is a better workflow than mine (my stuff has been much trial and error as well as some tutes from here on ZBrushCentral and YouTube). I am always interested to see if other folks have a FASTER way of doing the same things I am. You know, more time creating and less time trying to figure out the technical stuff.

Gary … the engine is freakin awesome! :lol: and thanks for the tutorial! Cheers, David
Ha, your the best my friend. Now, that’s cool. I am going to give your technique a ‘whirl’. Man, you make it look so easy. I try (almost) the same thing when it comes to rims i.e. using masks etc, but, when I use the primitive cylinder, I deform the INSIDE of the cylinder to get the area for the spokes and lug nuts. I DO NOT initialize it to open the center like you do, and this is what I am digging . I never thought of doing that. So, to me, your method is more ‘TRUE’ to making a rim than mine. Thanks a million Gary… more please-
Oh, the break down of your engine is insane… everything so perfect! Your quickly on your way to becoming the INSERT BRUSH MASTER!!
Gary, attached is how I make my rims. Hope you like.

Am I the only one, or am I really enjoying all this? I have said it once, I have said many a times, I love all the creature/cyborg/mech/people/characters etc, that are made with ZBrush, but this hard surface stuff really gets my ‘wheels’ rolling. Gary, that HotRod engine your putting together is just OUT OF THIS WORLD. Man, that’s stuff I have only seen in other 3D Packages. I am sure Ofer and the Pixologic crew are keeping a close eye on you as I am sure work like yours is the reason they gave us all the hard surface tools for (along with the mech suites and armor of course).
You have gained a big fan here my friend… please keep up this amazing work.
It will be interesting to see how you “assemble” the engine, not being the standard 90 degree V8.
The con rods might have quite a job to connect with the crank. 
Hi Gary,
I just came across your thread, you have some very interesting techniques and results.
I noticed you are from New Hampshire, where abouts?
I’m a New Hampshire guy myself, from the seacoast; Durham to be exact.

The vehicle motor is coming out great Gary. Kudos.
