Audi R8 Type 42 First-Generation Rim

Audi R8 Rim Model

Modeled by: Kemal Korkmaz | Modeled in: Autodesk 3ds Max | Rendered in: Substance Painter & i-Ray

The Audi R8 Type 42 First-Generation Rim is a hard-surface modeling study based on the factory wheel design developed for the first-generation Audi R8 (Type 42). Created entirely in Autodesk 3ds Max, the project focuses on accurately recreating the wheel’s distinctive split-spoke architecture, balanced proportions, and high-performance design language through precise digital modeling and presentation.

Particular attention was given to spoke geometry, hub integration, brake clearance, rim depth, edge transitions, and surface continuity. The presentation emphasizes engineering precision and clean manufacturing surfaces while showcasing realistic automotive materials, lighting, and rendering techniques. The result highlights both the technical construction and the premium visual character that define Audi’s performance wheel design.

The Audi R8 (Type 42) wheel design is the intellectual property of Audi AG.
