Well, I know, I am late, but I needed a lot of time to think about a cool concept and then I have not a lot of free time....

But here are the first screenshots (bad quality, but I had to get below the 50K limit).

This shall be a desert vehicle in a time without a big amount of water (so there will be some water tanks added). I have to add the engine, which will be powered via sun collectors (will be added soon). I will add lots of detail (tubes, wires, etc.) Well, it's just WIP.

I await your critiques...

P.S.: Thanks to Martin K for the Wheel Tutorial

There will be a new update soon - hope to get finished in time (please - have a lot of work to do).

I know, I always liked the little details and so I focused on high-poly models (this is now about 40.000 polygons)

Well, since I have very few time there is only a small update (sorry not to get finished till thursday).

Added wooden girder in front part
Added a battery and solar panels in the front part
Added three water tanks
Added front spots
everything connected with wires
Added a cockpit on top of the back part (yes, the vehicle shall be this large - back wheel is 2 times a man in height)


Hmm, I does not feel real good about the new parts so please help me with lots of comments.

Should I add a weapon?

I also want to add some covers (planes, etc.) and wooden parts for a much dirtier look - I think I will make some holes into the tires
