Render done for possible mailer banner (may still change)

made a mailer header graphic ( not really a done deal yet ), but I admittedly took longer to model this than I care to admit, so I'd like it if I don't have to change it :)

I smoothed in PS (smart blur) and cropped/re-sized it down a bit.

Crits welcome ( be gentle :P :) )

(it's a dolly on tracks - 3D track/planar motion is the theme driving it)

it's nice but quite small of an image... ?

I like the result, and I like the idea, quite visual and clear.

Initially I was just going to put the words 3D Motion on the dolly on the tracks, but I don't think that it would be clear enough to people that it meant 3D track motion ( Clever little Ideas to me, are just usually confusing to the masses :) ).

glad you like it.

There's detailed modeling on the wheels bolts, like a nut to screw into, and a little extra bump on the tip of the opposite end that no-one sees and was almost entirely pointless to spend the time doing, plus a locking handle on the dolly handle, and a separated spinning portion of the handle. Just pointless stuff based on final results and the small overall size, but I wasn't sure exactly what I was going to do with it while making it.

Isn't it floating though ? I got the idea too though, don't worry :)

nope, the wheels are touching the rails.

The design of the dolly wheels makes them able to be seen on either side from some angles ( the one used in the image ) but it's touching the track all around.
