Panzerkampfwagen IV ausf H.

ZombieWells

This is my attempt a panzer ausf H. without the extra armor, or the zimmerit coating; I am planning on have a version with both, as it is meant to at least have the outer armor equipped. I have to admit that I am not a panzer expert, so I am sure that some of the model is inaccurate. feel free to to crit.

Also if you would like to see larger versions of these renders visit my "work in progress" page on my website. http://www.jameskincaidgameart.com/

This is amazing! One of the sexiest vehicle models ive ever seen is this a decimated model rendered in menal ray?

I remember a post on PC not to long ago of someone doing welding beads. They tried in zbrush but it looked muddy so I think they just worked a sphere to be flat and goopy looking, and just duplicated along the edges.

looks frikin sweet dude! Are you planning to throw on some paint? How did you do the treads? don't tell me you placed each one by hand

Clark Coots

nice freakin model!

AlecMoody

The model looks really nice and the detail is great. My only concern is that if you were planning to bake this a lot of the details would be pretty much unbakable without an incredibly high poly mesh.

ZombieWells

jodan.kocon- the model was, in part, decimated in zbrush and was then later rendered in 3ds max using a shellac material

dudealan2001- yep, they sure are man! I just made a quick and simple wield alpha, (using zbrush and photoshop) and went to town.

omfigarted- no I am not planning on coloring the model, I could however throw some insignia on it. But, I don't want to make this a specific H. because I don't know enough about the history of these tanks to do that. Also, the tread is just like the bolts, and well... pretty much everything else. You have to place all this stuff by hand for the best results.

AlecMoody- the model is really not meant to be baked down at all. Then edges are super tight and there is soooo much micro detail that it would, as you pointed out, bake horribly! this model is made to reflect how the panzer was actually built.

wow sick model! u really nailed this tank. Love all the tiny details u put into this.

loving your work, especially the render style and how crazy in-depth (detail-wise) you go, gorgeous panzer!

raul

looking super awesome man!

Amazing work James! And you said no more tanks... hehe couldn't stay away.

ZombieWells

lol yeah I know right! I swear this is the last one.... maybe. Still, I'll be taking a break from them for awhile, I'm going to move on to another subject matter after this. I can say that I really do dig making these things, and I'm making it a mission to visit a panzer in person. I think Jacques Littlefield Collection is open to the public.

bassmatt00

That is incredible, nicely done.

You still need to delete the word "attempt" from your opening message.

I've been drooling over this tank for quite awhile and really admire the subtle realistic touches you have added, especially the dents, bumps and weld marks. Nice job on all of your hard surface work on your website too. A++
