It kinda reminds me of the Rhino off Vice City. That looked squashed too.

Er... I can't remember what the Rhino looked like exactly (I remember hating it). I read your post and stretched it a little. It looked pretty... odd.

I think I am going to drop the project for today or at least for a while. I've modeled to much thisa week, I'm to pooped to go on. The tank is for a scene I'm going to make after the tank is made (have I said this before?).

Stayed up later than ever last night, very tired.
Good bye.

Really? The HEK said vehicles should only be 500 poly's. I have sort of done the back of the tank, but the thing looks like it might tip over backwards, and won't be able to turn it's turret all the way around...
Good bye.

The HEK is a dirty lie. Halo can take around 6000, but 3000 is good.

the hek can take anything, as long as there aren't too many duplicates.

Ok, I guess I will.

I don't think I would put it in game, the tank's main cannon can't move up and down, and I don't know how to put it in game. :roll:

Here, have a funny tank render:

Ok, That isn't what it's supposed to look like. This is the special thing I was doing to the back. Those are two rail cannons on the back BTW.

Image

The thing wouldn't be able to turn all the way around and would tip backwards if I left it that way so I removed it.
Good bye.

definately better without the rail cannons.... or whatever they are.

anyways, make the turret in seperate pieces so it can swivel and raise/lower. then you would have a rather nice tank model.

Dude. No. Do you even know who Katarn and Snaf are?They are some of the few 1337est modelers that have ever set foot in CE. =D

The cannons looked cool on paper, but not so much when I actually added them. I think I'm done with this model, I'm very bored of it, I try and add detail and I come up with nothing and just give up.

Maybe I will skin it somewhere down the road. God I hate UVW mapping, it takes FOREVER and I usually screw it up.

And snaf, the turret IS in pieces, it was made seperate from the body. :wink: The cannon can't go up and down though. :roll:

I'm beginning work on a concept for a spaceship now. :twisted: One I might build.
Good bye.

i think that the sights on the barrel should be removed, unless you make them more camera-like. it's not a pistol lol. so yeh, this thing is pretty cool. just get some more details on it.

It's great as it was before the cannons were added. Get it ingame! :D

It looks really good but it looks like it would tip over from the weight with the cannons, unless ofcourse you added wheels or somthing to them.

Try modeling a real tank from blueprints maybe ;).

Nvm, must have loaded funny... Snaf had posted something like a URL or something... was confusing. The sights on the barrel aren't for sighting, they're for decoration. I didn't put much thought into them, just put them there.

The cannons, I removed BTW.

Well I worked on it a bit today (5 hours?) and this is what I've done:

Thoughts?

Apologies to maca and his thread, I could have sworn I had clicked this one.
