The button must have gotten unbound or something, just use the icon, I think mine ended up like that too.

The turret just seems to short, along the base.

You gonna release it?

Its real screwed up now... I was trying to find the button and now I have every error message ever.
And yes I will release it, once this gets sorted...

here's something I just started working on. Its a realistic version, so Smurf can't come and rape my thread with cries of "its tooo cartooooony!" (No offense intended obviously)

This is still in its pre beta alpha beta alpha .0001 version (in other words, barely started on it

) Just a general texture and some panels done. The panels on the turret are still not done, there's some stuff left over from the Generals style Abrams.

I'm not really looking for critiques yet, other then color and model stuff. Its too early to be picked apart still

Instead of making a new post with a new pic every time I update, I'm going to update the above post so I don't kill 56kers

I'm starting on making small details, like hatches, panels, vents. Any advice on how to do it effectively?

Lookin good. The black on the poles and stuff looks to strong though.

The internet went down when we moved the downstairs computer because of some bad cable.

Then RenX corrupted my "realistic abrams" file, so that's gone. At some point I'll model a new one, but I'm going to stick with the Generals style one for now.

turns out having that corruption was a good thing. I remade it, using a reference image (I used reference before, but only for details and color scheme, not for actually making it.) Its so much easier and the final product is way better if you use a reference, for anyone that didn't know. Here's what I've got.

Now to unwrap and skin. Any suggestions?

skinning it is hard... :/ I'm trying to stay away from cartoony, but I can't make it look good. I'm going to keep at it but if someone want to skin it I'll send it your way, UVUnwraps included.
