The random model thread!

how ... do you do this?

I think its time I tried to better myself

[Froyok]

Damn, yeah, the amount of details is incredible !

[D3ads]

Looks fantastic, you just need to model the Tata logo on the front

[General Vivi]

First off, awesome! Looks really great.

second off... you forgot to add a double set of tires on the back, how is this huge vehicle supposed to support itself?

Thanks for all teh feedback guys.

Haha, yeah, if you've got your head sticking so close to all those tiny little details you sometimes totally forget the more obvious stuff, like .. tires.

So thats how it looks like right now:

Compared to the above I didn't even want to post this but here goes.

[Steppenwolf]

penE that's a really nice model. Will be interesting to see how you do this. Especially the bags and ropes on top.

RedYager the tank looks very blocky. I take it you didn't make it with a hipoly?

[RedYager]

Hi,

I didn't use a hi-poly mesh, mainly because I still haven't ventured into that area of modelling yet. I actually made this over 2 years ago for Red Orchestra 1, it was quite a shock seeing how terrible my UV map was back then, so I went back and finally finished it (finished for me).

I'm curious though, where would the high poly come into play, Would it be used simply for details such as the bolts, tire treads ect, or for rounding off edges a bit too?

Cheers

Normal map will smooth all the edges you want and it's a blast for your model. There's a way to fake it by chamfering the edges and changing vertex normal so there will be no problem with weird gradients. Anyway, you should think about making a high-poly model
