how that?

[Camille]

ah well, new model made.

this time it's a large tank following the same firing principle as my contest artillery piece. the rear set of treads swivel when it turns.

[Sgt. Nuker]

The turret and the main hull remind me of the Trade Federation Battle tank (minus the robots, hover function and torpedo tubes). Not a bad thing mind you, as I believe it fits in with the swiveling rear treads. The overall design of the tank is rather unique, gives it character. Even though the barrel is a bit on the stubby side, it looks like one found on an artillery piece. The muzzle is rather large, but then I guess that's all relative to what the tank is designed to fire.

[Camille]

exactly

it fires slugs the size of 2-litre soda bottles

[Camille]

a pretty standard tank, still glad with how it came out




tell me whatyathink!

[Destiny]

My goodness...this tank looks...wow. Epic, just epic! Hmm...perhaps you'd like to shift the turret closer to the center of the tank, since it looks like it might flip itself when it fires. The hull of the tank might need a bit more sloping but it's fine really.

[Ion Cannon!]

Looks like a futuristic MBT, nice work.

yeah the turret is indeed somewhat too close to the back, thanks for pointing out.

thanks ion

[TheDR]

Thats really cool

Its certainly an evil looking tank... or in my eyes it is

[Camille]

what ain't evil in your eyes

[Pav:3d]

Great tank camille, pretty tame compared to ur usual stuff

[Dr. Knickers]

Looks awesome, the spikish things on the sides of the turret make it look evil though

[Camille]

an imaginary mosque for an appointment at school. no ref used, just used old mental images from books i'd seen a long time ago. i was pretty surprised when it turned out to be rather accurate though

[Pav:3d]

Very nice, and great imposing renders

[Camille]

FOV ftw

[Camille]

holy shit it's been AGES.

anyway, i learned to skin so here's my very first skin enjoy.





many thanks to paved for his teachings

edit: i'm aware of the errors, don't be too harsh

Keep it up man, hope to see much much more from you.

Your unwrapping is very good too, can only see one error (the view port isnt aligned, but that could be fixed on the skin instead)

[Jok3r]

Looking good. A little too much white around the edges, IMO, but otherwise pretty great.

[Gen.Kenobi]

Nice!

[IPS]

not bad for the first skin

try to define edges and depth some more and add some gradients on the larger surfaces.

[BeefJeRKy]

The model looks very "CORE-ish"

But great first results Camille. Here's to hoping we'll get another Pav3d-like skinner.

[Warlock]

Looks great

[pirate]

Its awesome Camille

[Alias]

It's very good for a first try.

A few things:
- You need a lot more dodge/burn. There's barely any depth.
- The treads need work.
- Might just be the angle of the renders but it appears some of the areas you've unwrapped appear to not be in scale. Some of the rivets look larger than others.

But all in all, keep it up, and stay motivated. You don't want to end up a lazy mess like I did.

[Camille]

all fair points that i'll look after in future works, much appreciated.

thanks everyone for liking, 't was a big step for me to take
