    Overall, I like how Mixmaster turned out compared to the rest. Not keen on the lack of detail on the inside of the legs but whenever I tired to boolean subtract something it just sorta ripped a whole in space/time. But then they all lack that detail so he still fits. :lol 

    I took major liberties with Mixmaster's arms. Both his and Hooks just don't work in robot mode, but are perfect for vehicle mode. So I tried to adapt the style from the MTMTE #2. Not quite the same but I think it works pretty well.

    5 down, one to go.

    Enjoy!

    I love the texture you use. How do you do it? (I also use 3D S Max and can never get that effect)

    generally if booleans stop working, its because of a mesh error.. theyre messy messy things and tend to leave unnecessary polys and gaps in meshes where one side of an edge is divided and the other isnt. obsessively checking/fixing such things will keep the booleans happy :)

    Actually I found that car paint texture in a book called 3D Studio Max 3 Magic. It's a mutli-layer shader with high levels and glossiness in the first specular layer and a low levels and glossiness in the second specular layer. Then there is a falloff map in the reflection slot with a raytrace map.

    It's a simple one but seems to do the job.
