This is a model of the truck from a scene from The Dark Knight. The truck has just been flipped on to its top. For the final scene there was also added pieces on the floor. A lot of reference images were gathered for this, using a variety of sources, some of similar trucks, otheres from the actual filming of the scene itself, in Chicago.

The whole truck is 22700 Triangles and it split up into the seperate pieces. The trailer uses 2048 maps, while the Cab, Undercarriage,Tyres and Interior use a 1024 each. They all have Diffuse, Specular and Normals maps, and the Cab also has Emmisive and Opacity maps for Unreal 3. The graphics on the trailer were particularly challenging to create as they had to be made completely from scratch in PhotoShop.

All these images are screengrabs from the 3ds Max viewport, using a realtime DirectX Shader, apart from the single Unreal 3 shot at the end.

Clicking on any of the thumbnails will send you to a large version.
