I noticed that there are no tutorials for 3ds max on Google, on how to model a tank. I was just wondering on where you guys earned it from?

[Whitey]

I learned myself. But Killakanz has his own tutorials.

Ellipsis, this the third post/thread (that i've seen) where you have asked this question... maybe you should actually check the replies to them?

For a start (IIRC) there is tutorial pinned in the modding forum somewhere. Also try using the search feature, as this question has been asked many times by other people, so check the replies to them to

Yea, that's how I learned this stuff, although back then I didn't know anybody who could help me, so I was on my own.
Soon people started asking me how these things are done, so I eventually wrote it out for them rather than saying it time and time again.

Good Day Mr. Killakanz!

Welcome to the forums, Let me know if you want a Blitz.

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

practice, the best tutorial

[Ellipsis]

Okay, I'll practice.

[Ellipsis]

Okay, I got the hang of it a little bit. Some practice and I made this:

It is not finished but constructive criticism is accepted, :wink:.
BTW, how do I make a render out of this? Like when a mod person presents an update.

[Slye_Fox]

you google "Gmax Render suite" and download it.

[Futschki]

this is looking good man .. but u have alot of useless segments in the chassis, housecolor, the treads ... wasted polys ...

[Ellipsis]

Okay, so how do I reduce them after I am done?

[Ellipsis]

Here is another one, I reduced the poly count but does not look that good. Tell me what you think.

[Futschki]

here is a pic I made of some useless segs in it :


sorry if there are unclear things

[Ellipsis]

Lol, just putting in useless segs, Abourrer. I was just practicing.
I seem to have a problem of putting too much segs and details.

[Futschki]

well that's a big prob in modelling ... lots of useless wasted polies ... but if u was only practicing then I think thats okay
