Thats what I was originally going to do but I decided to go to pharmacy school instead. Maya is definatley an awsome program. I suggest getting the tutorials and any manuals you can get. When you first start it can be overwhelming. Just keep practicing. It's not hard to learn but untill you get used to maya it will seem complicated. One thign though is that maya is very expensive. About 7000 dollars. I got mine from rainbow studios as a gift when I used to test games for them.

No problem. Oh BTW if you want to try maya I think they have a free download of a "student edition." it's fully functional too

you can download it here:

Oh and what did you mean by give it some more texture in some places?

I don't see that font...could you possibly post or send me the file (e-mail or AIM...)?

And by more texturing i mean in places like the brake pads, they're much too smooth and flat.
