Hey guys,
Well it seems to me that everyone here is modeling in some way or another, and now I shall proudly (or laughably) take my place too



My first tank ever! Thanks a lot to killakanz for his tutorial

What do you guys think about it and how should I improve it? And how do I make treads in Generals? Or does the skin do that, because on killakanz's tut it says only how to add treads to Renegade tanks...otherwise it will take too much polies.

[The_Hunter]

not bad mish but the barrel and hatch seem to be a bit round other than that i's a nice model

[Silent_Killa]

yea, you might want to reduce the sides on the cyllinders... and maybe add treads... pretty good for your first model though

[killakanz]

well, since Generals units are so low poly, the treads are just skinned on.

[Mishkin]

Yea...I have 18...which is quite too much... and I guess the entrance hatch can be skinned on...

I kinda liked modeling...it made me feel relaxed...

[killakanz]

y'know, I noticed that too. I thought it was because I enjoyed doing it but, for some reason, modelling makes me feel relaxed.

I guess it's that satisfying feling when you take ordinary parts (cube, sphere, cylinder) play with them, and turn it into something cool. Connect it all.

Pretty cool, how many polies?

[Mishkin]

I doubt the "pretty cool" part lol, but the poly count is 884 wihich is way too high. I didn't even optimise it yet thou...and I used 18 sides for the cannon (which is too much). I don't plan to get this model in the game, just playing around...I will probably try something more complex in a few days...I was thinking an Advanced verion of the Flame Tank.

Found an APC to be alot of fun to model.
