Here is a model i did for the Russian T34.. now i am new at modeling so feedback is definitely welcome!!

Thanks

The turret is rather small in my opinion. Are you using a picture of the T-34 while moddeling this?

Oh yes! forgive me i forgot to post my reference

Either the turret is too smale (scale wise) or the body is too large (scale wise). At least when compared to the picture.

yeah i see that! thanks for the advice!

This is my concept Soviet M35 Scout 'Beowulf' model (done from scratch)...again i am new to modeling so feedback is always welcome!
This is meant to be a light armored scout tank
Armament: 90m cannon, 80m side cannon, 50cal 360 degree rotating turret
Crew: 3
Armor: 6in.-1ft.
Max Speed: 65-70mph
ROF: 30rounds/min.

also i might later do some more work on detail but if i figure out how to skin then i will leave the detail till then.

Pretty good model for a beginner. The only major problem with it is that it has no base; you can see straight through the treds.

You should have some pics of tanks and other tracked vehicles up in a browser while you model. The pics are good reference material and it helps you add more details and keep your tank 'anatomically correct'.

ComradeKrukov, I merged your two threads as there is no reason to have more than one; just post here in future if you'd be so kind. Thanks.

This reminds me of the Golem tank from ROTR.

Remember kids, wheels need to be attached to tanks with axles, not glued to the bottom of the chassis.

Otherwise, great work.

I would also suggests using gmax or renx or even XSI Mod tool.

Maya PLE do not allows you to export your model in any formats, so if you're whilling to use them ingame, is better to use on of these 2 programs i told you.

BTW, stunning work!
I really like your tanks.

Thank You hopefully more are to come!!....one question are any of those modeling programs you mentioned free?? lol thats kind of what i have to work with and also which one would you personally suggest?

Yeah, both of them are free.

Well, gmax/renx is more for C&C Generals Modding. Is prety hard when you come there for the first time, but nothing impossible. You can't export the model in any format, just w3d/p3d.

XSI Mod Tool is a software what works in many modding games, because you can export the model in a lot of formats. XSi was the program what i've really started learning. You may look for version 6.0, since the 7.5 is not use/n00bsh friend.

Depends what do you wanna do

Well you choose
