[ COMPLETE ] Challenge #27: War Machine
ENSONIQ5:
$imon: Excellent idea, lovely clean modelling as always. I love how the turntable is a circular section through a road, kerb and all. Brilliant! I'd love one of these vehicles for the Monday morning traffic crawl... blast my way through!
Arik: My sure fire remedy for that sort of thing is Jalapeno pizza and plenty of orange juice and tequila! Not sure if it actually works, but the tequila ensures you don't feel a thing! Looking forward to seeing your work, looks cool so far.
Arik_the_Red:
Update... Working on textures. Yes, I know I sort of spoil the surprise... but here it is to date....
Ensoniq... I think that mix would do some wicked things to my bowels right now ;-)
$imon:
haha I like where that is going, arik. The fever must be good for the inspiration! (I should try it myself...) I'm not sure if Ensoniq's nutrition suggestion is one to follow though lol.
There is some distortion on the model where the barrel meets the tank though. maybe you could look into that.
Oh I dont think this is your final render yet, but in the dark parts its a bit hard to make out the details, maybe try to up the ambient intensity in the scene lighting settings, or the ambient value of the materials?
Ensoniq: Thanks for the reply! I love those types of vehicles, maybe we'll have to have a race sometime :P
Sorry i didn't reply to your model yet, Ive been a bit busy.. It's looking great! I hope you will change the camera angle a bit for the final turntable though, it looks a bit like a miniature model at the moment.. I like the blocked camouflage! It looks battle-ready! Good luck finishing..
Ps. I'm like you - not a big fan of making weapons etc. but once you start it looks cool pretty fast haha.
Arik_the_Red:
$imon, by distortion do you mean the areas where the barrel sink into the turret?
If so, maybe this shot helps better portray what I'm attempting. This is styled after those wind-up tin toys that were made "a bit before your time." Thus, the slots in the turret and the tabs that insert from the barrel (and hatch on top). I made the tabs as if actually bent inside the turret as if holding the pieces together.
Otherwise, I'm not sure what you mean by distortion.
$imon:
Oh that makes a lot more sense, Arik ;) You're right - I played with lego's when I was young, and even thats old at the moment..
there is an area in the shadow though that seems to be bulging out or something:

But I cant really make it out.. I'm sure youve got it under control haha. Just hope the fever won't catch up to you!
Good luck finishing :D
