[WIP] Panzer IV - Game Ready Model - (Roast Me)

RashedAlmetrami

Hey guys,

Thought I'd start this thread to get some feedback off you lovely folk as I progress on this project!

High-Poly is finished and I'm currently UV mapping the low-poly model now. 





Current low-poly model at 89,990 Polys - Not quite sure how to remove the white edge highlights on the tread pieces?



Looking forward to your critique!

Nice work!

looks pretty good! first off you swaped around the driver with the mg gunner. You should also redo the muzzle brake, it's supposed to be made of 1 part and yours has an odd look to it. this picture shows the shape pretty good, and it's quite different https://i.ytimg.com/vi/by-rCG1s6Vo/maxresdefault.jpg
Also there seems to be missing some parts behind the gun shield, it looks like it's floating atm
keep up the good work!

@tommy39 @Rage288 Thanks guys, much appreciated!

@kymo_thys  Thanks for the feedback man! What do you mean I swapped the driver with the MG gunner? Sorry if I'm derping :P My old lecturer mentioned the muzzle brake too, think I'll redo it but it seams like quite a complicated model to make from just one model; any tips?

I'll take a look at some reference for the gun-shield, currently has an inset and extrude on the inside:



Thanks again!

The spherical part marked with red is what's missing from the gunshield. The green circles (driver and hull mg) are reversed on yours. Also included a wireframe of a muzzle brake I made for the tiger 1, it's quite similar and might help you out. Started out with the basic cylinder shape and then did some booleans to create the holes. notice they are at an angle and not straight cuts. Hope this helps, and good luck on refining the tank hehe

@kymo_thys - Aah thank you, Ill rework those pieces soon

Test bake before I re-model muzzle and add the missing section of the turret.

Bakes are coming along nice! 

Just one question. In your lowres model it looks like your turret is connected to the body. Is this intended?
