The stabilizing systems (the lil stracks) can be lowered (right one) or folded up for transport (left one)

rocking, modelling is fantastic. Keep up the good work both!

[zzzrByte]

Great work so far!

And your process is like Photoshop Tennis (http://coudal.com/tennis.php)

One question, how is the pilot supposed to see where he is going... the wheel seems to be in his way.

[Caman0]

were gonna set up cameras, and some veiwing system on the dash

i think... or something like that :)

[gimmix]

[Caman0]

Looks great !
In the new Star Wars movie was a vehicle that looked a little bit differnet. The android army used it in the final battle.

Dosn`t matter.^^

I have a question
I am working on Lightwave and I want my uncoloured model lookk in this way.
(So that it looks like a little toy made of plastic or something else)

I tried some ways, but I am not THAT experienced.
It doesn`t work, can you tell me what light- and shadow settings you used ?

Would help me much.

[Caman0]

sure, its in my tut :)

[Caman0]

heres the engine of this baby

[Kosh]

Hey, thanks.
It`s not for Lightwave , but I think this will work there too.
(I have simply to find out how) ^^°

[Darakusan]

Very nice detailings!

I like the concept very much also
Would love to see an animation on the stablizer coming down :love: :thumbsup:

[Caman0]

was already posted :p

How many polys does that thing have ?
I`m still working with Lightwave and I have the problem, that in some cases I can`t hide every poly.
On this points you can see the edges of the polys, how did you make it, that it becomes so smooth ?

[Caman0]

i used meshsmooth on render in most of the cases.
it subdivides the part when rendering, so it doesnt bother you with muchos polys in the workspace. :)

[Caman0]

Made a shot gun for personal, close range defence.
gonna be stored in a holster attached to the seat

Sweet and very nice :) Congrats on your skills ;)

my critts: I don't like the wheel being in the way of view, if its a battle viehicle it will be shot at and will suffer damage, so the view depends on computers right? by cameras? what if in battle those get shot off? or computers malfunction? the view is screw and the viehicle is a death trap and a sitting duck.

my sugestions: What if you were to take out the middle threads of the wheel, but keep the outer rim wheels but the two outer rims are held by bars. still when the viehicle moves quickly, u can still see through the wheel :) whata think? too much work? or you can do it? hehe

again Nice modeling! keep it up!

[blindsleeper]

thats some gorgeous modellin ya got there

[Gremlin]

I would find it awesome if there were no stabilizer tracks, and this thing just went crazy fast to support itself, and if every need to stop, little stabilizers would shoot out of the bottom, but with the stabilizer tracks right now, it just looks like a slow poke.

however, insanely awesome modeling! keep it up!
(also, did you say what package your using for this?)
Cheers,
:beer:

[Caman0]

ok heres an update, i know its been a while, sorry for that.

[jampoz]

I'm speechless!

Just one suggestion, don't you think that maybe the tank things on the sides are maybe too big to actually work?

[Maximus Groff]

wow! how could i miss this fun! OMFG!

amazing dude... loks like a war to me... ;)

I've been lucky to follow this thread from the start, and the process and the result was amazing!!!

If you do another one of these cooperative battles... please post a link to that thread in this thread, so we'll know.
