Welcome aboard...:beer:

Nothing to be nervous about,the concept sounds interesting and fun. Looks to be quite an undertaking,and promising.Have fun and I look forward to your up-dates,Good luck.:thumbsup: :beer:

[draco76x]

Yeah, waiting for your update. :p

[spirogyro]

here's a rough sketch, no details, but you can get the idea

[Clanger]

This has potential, good luck

[spirogyro]

ok so I had some time to work on this. so far Ive got the wheels and probably will start with the guns in a bit. I'd really like to know what you guys think of the wheels. ( might change them)
I'll report back later

[Aearon]

already looks nice, but i'm sure you could put a lot more detail in those wheels if you wanted to! :wip:

try to think about how this would look in reality, and model it that way (IF you want it to be realistic) how about modeling some more detailed rims, separate from the tires for example ?

just trying to push you hehe :D

[azazel]

With that construction, You won't be able to turn... only go stright ;) Probably it could work like tank, with varied speed on right/left side...... but turn-able wheels won't harm IMO ;)

[spirogyro]

:thumbsup: Good point, didn't think about that. Back to the drawing board
:annoyed:

[Clanger]

Yes the other thing to remember is the link to the wheels has to be the same distance from the centre of the wheel on both otherwise the wheels would would jam.

[spirogyro]

i think i fixed it

[spirogyro]

working on thw guns now, still some details to be done

[spirogyro]

the top gun

[spirogyro]

does anyone know of a good way to make a spring??

[Feanoro]

The Spring Dynamics Object?

That would work wouldnt it?

[Wolfy]

Looking good :thumbsup:

Tip: More Chamfer!!! :D

In regards to the spring, I know in max you can just create a helix spline then just tick off renerable mesh etc, not sure what you're using tho so it could be totally different.

[spirogyro]

I'm actually using Maya, but I figured it out. Thanks! Anyway, I've begun the body, of the vehicle, and I'm having some trouble. If anyone knows of a good tutorial of polygon modeling a car that would be great. I need some pointers

[spirogyro]

:banghead: OK, now I'm having problems. I'm trying to rough out the body, but as you can tell i'm having trouble. Since I don't have a good reference, splining a body together would be rather hard, which is why I'm using poly's. If anyone has any ideas, I need them now. Also, does anyone know of any good refernces for engines??? If I can't figure out the body now, I'm gonna start on the rear mounted enging. I can't wait:rolleyes: Thanks all.

[spirogyro]

Well, after a long weekend, I started my project again and did a few things tonight. I re did the rims, and added rotors and calipers and exhaust

[spirogyro]

anyone have any comments or ideas??

[dominicqwek]

the metal grille in front looks spongy, i dunno, i would have it look really metal. u know what i mean? anyway, this is going good. Cheers.! :thumbsup:

[DimitrisLiatsos]

Listen to dom....front part looks spongy and organic...it should look rough and metallic structure....also give some spikes on tires on U axis not only in V...hope i helped a little!!!


:bounce:

[Feanoro]

Nice, its starting to come together :thumbsup:

[spirogyro]

I've started the body just a little update

[DimitrisLiatsos]

:bounce: It looks promising...u should also check on the tires:wip:
:thumbsup:

i will be back!

[spirogyro]

ok i made a few, anyone want to comment

[spirogyro]

come on people i need help on these tires

[genesis max]

Defenitly third tire, fropm the left. That's my choice :wavey:
Keep working and let's see more updates :wip:

[DimitrisLiatsos]

:bounce: Mixture of first and third in order to give more detail!

Try also to smooth it 1 or 2 levels after!:bounce:

[Onsloh]

Go with the 1st in my opinion mate.looks good this creaft.:thumbsup:

[erik2003]

Cool idea!

I like the bar connecting the wheels but i think it won't work like it is now. The bar is (i think) always horizontal if the wheels are the same size.

[spirogyro]

@eric2003 Well actually i dropped that idea, but thanks.

Here's a little texturing of one of the guns

[Virtuoso]

Hey looks pretty good.Perhaps you could add a little brushed metal look to it? Just a thought.Also maybe a couple deplacement dents or scratches? Anyways keep going,it's coming along.:thumbsup:
