Forgot to reply to this earlier. :uhm:

I do plan to make more sets of trailers at some point, and those 2 RL companies at the bottom would be no sweat. I'd never known what Wacky Packages were till I looked them up (I'd hear of them though), and those would be pretty fun trucks to make. I'll probably do that! *:yes:

So I altered the DHL texture slightly. The south render (where the front is facing the camera) still hits me as a tad bright, but I tried going darker and with less saturation and at that point the paint started to look dingy. I suppose it's fine if it's bright at that one angle since it's basically facing directly into the light source due to the angle on the front of the van. Other than that, I made a few other texture variants for the vans. I might make one or two more and call it finished. It'll be a somewhat small set.

Later on I might revisit the Sprinter for other uses, seeing as it is popular as a bus, flatbed, pickup, police, and utility vehicle. Since all of those would require fairly major modifications to the model and are really quite different vehicles overall, I decided to split the them up (much like I split the semi truck box trailers from the flatbed ones).

I may also fire up 3DSmax in the next few days and play around with some textures (which is honestly the main reason I half-gave up on it... that texturing system is complex :]). If I am happy with the results, maybe I'll make a post about it. Now I just need to go read Jasoncw's thread for all dem tutorials on reflections and plants and sunken BATs and such... *:)

Excellent work on these vans. Exactly what I'm looking for. Have they been released? I couln't find them ... :(
