FluXs Thoughts - 4th June 2005

looks cool so far!

I think you should hide the chainwheels(?) on front, perhaps back also. then the bottom is pretty done i'd say.
Like Tow said many details can be added with the skin!

A big turrets would fit perfectly!!

SWEET DUDE

How come you don't just clean up and reduce the polys of the 40,000 one? The design looked good, it just way over budget.

 

[scott_bris]

looking good..before it gets out of hand there is a lot of poly wastage here

Try welding the verticies like it is shown. and for the circle thing remember, smoothing goups can do wonders.

Oh, and arent you using reference images?

From the looks, those extra polys are the result of the smooth operation. I'd imagine he'd remove them later.

uhm, no

I've used soft edges for the vehicles smoothyness.
except for that 3d one.

i think it looks alot better than 1st one shape is realy organic

 

[Hyperforce]

my latest version, some details have been added, I guesstimate the final polycount around 4000-4500 for the main body

 

[Dest]

Wooh! im in love!

one thing you should delete those round things, the bolts on the armor on front and those small pins on the side. That can be added with the skin!

Very nice modeling! You just have to remove those tiny details dest mentioned.

Looks like youre going for that Coloman-design. My suggestions for the turret are these:
Make it a bit flatter - otherwise the turret looks too cute (big head, small body - baby tank).
Add some sharp edges (or some prominent blocks of reactive armor - see T-90).
Use two barrels (positioned like in your first design).
...the rest can be the same.

And please add some small, secondary gun for the driver (perhaps a flamethrower at the front?). A gunner should be required to operate the turret (teamplay!).

big turret looks good tbh!
and why 2 barrels? one is good!

 

[scott_bris]

triangles is the number you should be looking at.

why am i seeing screws being modeled.

 

[FluXs]

looking great, but yeah little details like screws can be textured, as long as parts of the tank are easy to texture, an artist can put all kinds of detail into it, also those footsteps can just be flat, they dont need to have slightly raised edges.

Looks cool btw,

mmm its not june anymore fluxs

 

[FluXs]

*checks calender, it is 1995 still?

 

[Hyperforce]

update, I've got a little break form the Maya Fundamentals class Alltrough I really hope those DVD's arrive today

UPDATE: DVD's Arrived

 

[Dest]

turret needs much bigger, and those rockets on the back?

I was kidding with those barrels on the back , they look hidious

 

[{UFF}HAMMERSTIEN]

same as dest bigger turret

 

[Hyperforce]

same as dest bigger turret
