BFT Tank

SPYFF

Welcome!

I hope somebody remember this tank game, name Recoil. In this game you drive the BFT tank, and complete missions. I think create some remake of this tank.
I thank any feedback. (Highpoly currently WIP, as you see).

Shots from original game:

Looking incredible man
Any plans to rig it?

SPYFF

Thank you. My notebook is not enought performace to rigging (i think) but if the highpoly is ready, i start lowpoly to baking and texturing.

Looks good but for baking I think a lot of your edges are too tight and won't come out on the bake very well. Namely the armor plating and the Track armor piece, they are the worst offenders but not the only ones.

Aaaaahh recoil..such great memories.
As said above, your edges are far to tight. Your normalmap bakes will not come to their right.

SPYFF

Hang10 & Nomad6: thanks the feedbacks! I baked a few normal, but yea, the edges is tight. So, now i go to fixing this bugs!

yes! that game was awesome back in the day.
The ending always weird-ed me out though, with that brain thing.

Good work on the model so far, agree with the above comments. Only other thing for me is that the scale of the cannon and laser guns are a bit small.

Keep it up!

I agree with this. Both should be 30-50% longer i think.

SPYFF

@danpaz3d: Thank you for the advice! The laser guns is enought big for me, i not plan to change they sizes. But yes, the torpedo cannon is small. Now i break my head, how scale up, but this is good example for me to plan geometry forward.

If its in Zbrush, you could export it to max, use sub object selection and scale it that way.
Depending on how you've put it together in Zbrush...

man! incredible work! i can't believe 3d is only a hobby for you yet :-O
i really love many of the details! mai'm not sure but maybe the tower of the gun cannot rotate. and i'd brake the blank spaces up with more plates, screws or some more details, but it's truly a great work! keep it up!

made a quick overpaint, i hope it helps what i mean

SPYFF

tsabszy: eyy, thank you! You now help more than enought! Great overpaint for me, give many ideas as well. As you say, the tower of gun is impossible to rotate now, but i fix the back-top part of the main body and add some rounding (if possible) and create the thing rotatable (if this right in engrish)

tsabszy

well.. where's some update, huh?
keep it up bro!!

I remember that game, was a long time ago though.

Looking good so far

SPYFF

Thanks the interest! Now i realize, many thing in the model looks bad and not good for baking, and i fixing them. The main errors are fixed currently, but the big blockout parts (main body and guntower body) i delete and start remodeling. Nothing complex, nothing interesting, just detail out the blank areas.
