After some thinking i decide to show you my first model.
Because 3ds max was not so nice to me i did my fist model in my CAD program to have the relative size done right.
I did already export this in to 3ds and it did look fine to me.
Next steps will be skinning and so on.
Still i have to figure some things out like bones and stuff like that.

I did try to do as less as possible details to keep the poly count down.
Most of details going into the skin later.




Military-today.com does have some nice pic also

That's a really nice model there Wi-Ta. Looks like you have the knack of it.

But this is more art so moving to 3d Art for you!

Ok, well once you've completed it you can add it to the free resource section with the link back here.

Back to the model. I really like it, you're proportions are excellent. Although I think the cab could be slightly higher.

You picked up the gist of the real thing good for a newbie.

Yes indeed i lower it a bit to have if a bit more sleek

Looks gd, tho the treads are way too thin and the cab is too short imo, but keep at it

I suggest replacing the current gun with a 5 to 8 sided cilinder, to spare polies, and replace the cilinders at the turret with 10 sided cilinders.

Some small, pedantic criticisms:

- The tracks are too thin.
- From the angle of the pictures, the tracks look like they are just glued to the base of a flat rectangular plane for the chassis.
- There's a small bumper thing on the front of the cab that is so thin it ought really to be done by a skin - it seems to be just wasting polies at present.


Of course, there are only minor things. Overall, it's an amazing start.

Dude nice start! Wider tracks are the most blatant change needed I guess.
