OK guys this is my first REAL model ever ever ever. i'm still working on it. i'm making the chassis first, i'm gonna add alot of detail to it. it's an EFV. expeditionary fighting vehicle. i thought it to be a good first model. and if it goes successful i might use it in my mod.

here is the real life version and this is where i'm getting all my info to model it as accurately as possible

and here us what it looks like up to yet.




what do u guys think. good start?

it's quite good for a first model. Is the RL model that narrow though?
And also there's a vertex error on the front of the model you can see it in the 2nd pic. It looks like a shadow.
I've no idea what causes it or how to fix it.

yeah that annoying shadow thing. i tried to find out how to fix it but no luck.

i'm trying to get it as accurate as possible. i'm gonna try to make it less narrow. later on today i'm gonna add more detail.

To fix the shadow glitch, select the model, go to Polygon or Face mode, select all the polys/face and at surface properties select clear all.

Since the RL thing is pretty symmetrical I suggest you cut the block in two halves length-wise, get rid of one, and then work on the one that's left. After you're done just clone-mirror the half you worked on :locky:

EDIT: After that don't forget to weld the two halves together!

oh sweet.

about the cloning thing. i guess it's a good idea, i had thought of that b4. i'll do it but in case i will make a backup.

also on the bottom of the model is it possible to like 'carve' in the tread area or space. because the rl one has the treads on the inside.

You don't really have to 'cave in' the bottom section of the chassis because if you look closely at the RL thing the treads are covered on the outside by armour plating. Just do like what you dd on the back area of the chassis.

it's ok for a first try, but you really have to focus on some basic things. like now, your chassis is ok but i see some assymetrical parts as well as a weird thing sticking out on the front. symmetry will almost always make the model look nice, at least IMO... keep practicing alot and you will surprise yourself one day!

nice, thankyou. soo much guys. i just updated it a littlebit. i'm getting really excited.



now u guys can see i tried as much as i could to add detail. using all the views and images i could find. i've come up with this.







i added door hatches in the cargo compartment. with an animation. soldiers will be able to pop out and engage targets on their own if necessary in-game.

EDIT: removed pics

man, try to compensate on the pictures a bit, even i never posted so much.... try to get that view that's split in four so you can see everything at once and you dont have to post such a humongous load of pictures that swallow bandwidth like hamburgers.

Ok so i updated the chassis again even though i said it was gonna be final. i wanted to make it perfect. so NOW it's safe to say the model AND skin of the chassis have been completed. i've been working on it all day long. i'm starting to fall in love with it. i've been doing soo much work with gmax and photoshop lately and then it just hit me, modeling and skinning is starting to be less complicated then coding. (well to me it is)

good, good! but you might try to work on that skin a little, right now it looks too flat IMO. give it more depth by giving it highlights or shadowing on keyspots.

yeah yeah good idea. oh and thankyou.

does anyone know how to make the uvmapping map thing into an image file, that way i could like pait over the uv's, instead of having to make the skin first. cuz sometimes the skin i make dosn't seem to fit the model.

OK guys I finally Finished the EFV model and the EFV Desert Skin. All i have to do is make the snow skins and the woodland skins and i'm done with it. it turned out really really good. =) I was going to make the sights on the turret carved inward like the real one but i couldn't figure out how + i didn't want to screw up the turret model which was really confusing. I Pimped up the skin and followed ka1000's advice.
