Here's the stuff I did for Lesson 3: Texturing. Texturing is actually I lot easier than I thought it would be. Anyway, I pretty much just followed the instructions for the tutorial and tried to determine the best material to use that would reflect the light realistically. I added a lot of lights to my scene, probably about 9 or 10 for each lamp post, and then less intense directional one behind the moon to add some moonlight. I added a lot of new details to the scene, like flowers in the flower boxes, a vending machine, and, if you look in the top left corner of the 1st picture, you can see the glow of the candles for the birthday cake I made in the window. Anyway, that's pretty much it. Hope you enjoy!
Here's the tire model. Overall, it wasn't too hard, just time consuming. There was a lot of extruding to create the spokes. I'm not sure why the smoothing on my spokes didn't turn out like theirs; before I smoothed the spokes they looked exactly like on the tutorial, but even after changing a bunch of settings and stuff it still didn't work, but overall they still look good. The wheel and tire were pretty easy, and the special duplicate tool is useful for duplicating things many times. I made the brake disk by making a short, wide cylinder and then booleaning the difference with some tall skinny cylinders with it. I think that's pretty much it.
