Freightliner Truck Spin from Phil Strahl on Vimeo.
Be sure to watch it in HD!
I'm not going to tell what movie this truck is from, but some of you might already know.

All modeling was done by Jonny Hennebichler by the way, who will be also responsible for the animation to come. And, boy, that's gonna be awesome!
For the dirt specs and scratches I have three custom Photoshop brushes and I used mostly photos just as references instead of textures
