Mars rover - Generic model

I created this mars rover on a really crappy single cpu system 8 years ago and revisted it 4 years ago when i got 2015. Originally modeled in lightwave v9. Once i got 2015 i added the rocks, but i need better rocks(these aren't even textured). Some other things to try - trail maps, more variety of rocks, and more cables on the rover. (coming soon)
The rover is scratch built from references of the first mars rover.

I love instancing - the enviro is all instanced rocks. The rover mud on the wheels is particles placed around the wheel and instanced with hypervoxels. I guess i could of just used instancing on the wheel with a weight map though.
