Something Rubber This Way Comes

[PepsiRacer4]

Looking good James, I'm sure your friends at HoH are very impressed too /sarcasm

 

[Harry Nurpplez]

And the rims will actually stay the same shade for all three now awesome.

 

[James Hodge]

Here's a little something to whet your appetites.

 

[Bluestorm5]

Very nice

 

[James Hodge]

New shots, this time from the BR12 mod. You can see the new wheels, tires and reflection map.

 

[morgan89]

Yes! Yes! Yes!

 

[Bluestorm5]

Wow, sweet reflections from these tires!

 

[quadmaster]

nice work;looks good!

 

[James Hodge]

Just to let you guys know...if you want a sneak peek at at least part of my tire texture...head over to House of Hardtops where Mr. sb70/Todd has ripped the tread texture form this forum and used it on his own tire.

I give you Exhibit A.

So..the guy who was ripping me on my supposed lack of talent...ends up ripping off my tire texture.

DMCA take down notice. Sent.

My god... and to think, I assumed that they couldn't steep any lower on the scumbag meter...

Guess I was totally wrong on that one.

(I would say more but I don't think Matt would like me cursing up a storm XD)

This is comedy gold. lol.

Do you mean to tell me Mr.Cut,Copy & Paste was caught with his hand in the cookie jar??? Say it ain't so! XD

 

[James Hodge]

Yes indeed. His justification was that he thought that part of the texture was nothing but a photo that Burnout took and that since he had helped Todd out in the past that he could just use it (without asking, and by lifting the teaser image from this thread). Little did he know that the tread part of the texture wasn't made using any one photo but a combination of several sources put together by yours truly. I am flattered though that he thought my texture was simply a photo.

The moron also thinks I want to shut his entire site down by sending a take down notice to his file server and web provider, when all I wanted was this tire file taken down. Looks like I accomplished that myself by outting him. Of course he deleted all of mine and burnout's posts and then twists the story around to make him look better and his minions fall right in line and believe him.

The icing on the cake is that he was freaking out that I was logged in to HoH for days and days. Guess he's never heard of a smartphone. As long as I don't turn it off or close the browser it stays logged in. If I had known it was going to bother him so much I'd have done it sooner. . Don't worry though Todd...when I was at Six Flags this week with my family, you were the last thing on my mind.

Those reflections and tires look really really good James. Great Job!

 

[guardracer19]

James, have you thought about doing up the the Support the Troops tires they been running?

 

[James Hodge]

I have. Alan Harkelroad sent me some great reference shots of those. Definitely a possibility.

 

[Dr. Doom]

[Darrell Pace]

Nice work on the tires James! Thanks!
