German Panzer IV Diorama Piece

RashedAlmetrami

Hey guys, been working on this piece for a while now. Thought I'd drop some renders in a thread for feedback from this wonderful community



Iray Renders

To make the diorama a bit more interesting add some plants to it and give the tank a pose, turn its turret a bit.

@Zi0 Thanks for the feedback! I'll look into rotating the turret, I'm currently making some cacti for the scene which is why there's ugly green cylinders in the scene

Quick update on the progress. Gonna tweak the texture for the cacti then I think it's finished!

To make the diorama even more interesting, put some anime girls on the tank!

looks amazing, can you share some wireframes for it?


also, can you you add some muzzle flash and smoke? might not work for the diorama, but could be interesting 

RashedAlmetrami

Thanks! Will be rendering out a turntable which transitions into a wireframe overlay once it's all finished up

Good shout on the muzzle flash and smoke! I'll look into adding that in the final render.

Can't wait to see it

Turntable Marmoset and HP Renders finished! Throwing in the Iray renders here too as they were tweaked slightly and I'd like to have them all in one post.

Pretty cool. I did one of these about a year ago. Good job.

I totally support idea of anime girls in that tank.

The mound in the diorama looks a bit tall, seems weird to drive up it unless it was a ridgeline that was unavoidable.

Textures are nice, I like the weathering but I think some edge scratches (red) are too uniformy "thick" along the entire edge which breaks the realism.

The ration box on the turret (blue) looks like cast metal which it shouldnt be, it was made out of thinner metal like the sideskirts.
There should also be a wide lid on the turret box plus the edge marked in green makes the metal look super thick.
I've not seen your references but I think the bolts you added to the side of the tank shouldnt be there either.


Above, you can see the ration box on the back of the turret, there seems to be a gap between the box and the turret on the real tank which is missing on your model.

Here you can see the lid of the turret box more clearly.


Just some feedback on an otherwise excellent model
