Modeling A Tire Tread:
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.
Modeling A Polygon Rim:
In this tutorial I show how you can create a polygon rim from start to finish in Maya. The whole project is split into 15 videos ... starting with simple polygon modeling techniques going over to uv layout, texturing and finally rendering with mental ray.
Rim And Tire:
In this video I demonstrate how to combine the "OZ rim" with the "tire" in a new Maya scene.

In this video for 3ds max we'll take a look at how we can add a dust/sand effect moved by a
car tire using FumeFX and Particle Flow. We'll use a tire model, then we'll animate it with simple link and
wire parameters to a dummy, adding a simple expression to control its rotation, and then we'll start adding
a PFlow emitter to create particle under the tire. These particles will be used as source for FumeFX, so
we'll create it linked to the tire to optimize voxel space and calculation. Then we'll start working at the
basic setup adding some dynamic properties as collision, wind force, turbulence etc etc. In Part 2, we'll
finalize the look and dynamic to obtain final animation.

In this video for 3ds max we’ll take a look at using VRay to render a realistic tire/wheel with additional layers as dust over.
