try playing with individual vertices to get the shape you want and always keep back ups, so if you mess up you can revert back quickly.

i would recommend going through this tut. it really helps you get some good results in adding details.

The tank is quite good but the turret seems too round, maybe refine it a bit.

[Mr. Mylo]

ok this is the challenger 2 with more detail... i think it looks good now ^^but pls post me your opinion... more or less details??? or is it perfect???

is it physical unfunktional or would it be a replacement for something in the game???

[Mr. Mylo]

1. sorry for double post

2. the remake of my first render "the varan_tank"

[Sgt. Nuker]

Talk about an overhaul :wow: . It looks a lot better, even if it does mimic the Marauder tank now. Still though, it looks pretty good. Just keep playing around with the program you're using, and you'll get the hang of it before you know it.


Respectfully,

[Ion Cannon!]

Your varan tank looks like something from metal slug . And the challenger 3 it wasn't a 2, was modelled by waris.

[Baal-Zebub]

That's pretty damn good!

[Golan]

Challenger:
It´s good and features the basic shape, but you should have another look at a reallife pic of the tank. Especially front chassis and turret are a tad different. You should also avoid to have chassis and tradarmor/-boxes as seperated objects as most modern tanks use one single mainframe that also covers the treads. The treads themself on teh other hand should be seperated from the chassis. Couldn´t keep from messing up the pic you´ve posted, maybe you´ll see what I´m up to.

[Mr. Mylo]

ok thx guys for you comments...

i will update the challenger now... you will get the overhaul today or tomorrow, i think today^^
in one hour^^

[Mr. Mylo]

Uhm, could you post a picture without that smoothing? It´s really hard to see the real shape of it now...
The Chassis looks much better, but the turret should be made the other way round: the "bar" in the middle is actually elevated, it can be seen very good on this picture.
You´ve really improved your skills, nice work.

[Mr. Mylo]

yes i could^^

here is the picture without smoothing

http://img477.images...tternetz5kt.png

it is difficult to see all the lines...

what do you mean with the barrel??

so: <=>

or so: :=:

maybe you dont know waht i mean^^

[Mr. Mylo]

this is my troop crawler:

it has a 60mm gun and is able to transport 5 soldiers. the soldiers are able to fire with light maschineguns out of the vehicle

what do you think about this??

[Golan]

Could you please stop using uncompressed .png-files? I know they´re cool but it takes forwever to get 2MB from Imageshack.

Well, i have to admit that I don´t find the modell very charming. You´re wasting polygons everywhere possible. The sidepannels have 192 faces for a standart-box which normally takes only 12 and I really don´t want to know how many faces the sphere and the cylinders have. These parts are only minor details which should be in no way more "detailed" than the chassis.
The overall shape of the vehicle is also a bit... unconventional. The turret is bumpy and seems to have had more than one crashtest, same with the chassis. In addition, the single parts don´t form an overall design but are just put together.

You´ve greatly improved your skills but you are still a beginner. Try to stay with modelling real vehicles so that you can have a look at how they are designed, at their basics of constructions, at what makes them seem real and so on. It´s the best way to gain more experience. Also, have a look at models made by EA (as you´re aiming on their level of detail) and public modells, which should allow you to figue out some tricks to create models.

[Mr. Mylo]

ok thx golan^^ you are right with the troop crawler... i think critik is a part of every modell... i made the challenger 2 in 4 hours or more... the troop crawler in 45min...
my next render will be surely better...
i think it will be ready this week...

i cant upload my pictures every time...
sometimes it works sometimes not so i use image hack

PS: thx golan for your regular replies.

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

no he means use jpg's or sumthin, less file space used/needed

and i'd say not ur best, but still good

[Baal-Zebub]

That's okish, but still pretty good.

[Mr. Mylo]

this is a tank of battlefield 2142. i saw it in the second trailer of the game.

... do you know free skinning programms for my renders???

[The_Hunter]

GIMP is a free art program capable of doing things you would normaly not be able to do.

[Waris]

Good model, but you still need to do a lot of training

And my personal favourite of yours, so far, is the Varan.

[Baal-Zebub]

Yes, that quite nice.

[Soul]

Ack I don't know how to take a pic of my models.

[Waris]

I think I've told you how to...
