Hotchkiss Jeep

jsargent · Jul 2011

Heya, I'm making this WW2 jeep for and would love some crit. There are still lots of bits to make and I'm going to model and take some parts like the seats in to zbrush. Then I gotta make the gun in the center. Some crits would be awesome

Thanks

Kick ass!

I love it.

Post more shots!

Which version are you going for?

jsargent · Jul 2011

got an update on this. Working on the gun and then the bracket for it is next. C&C's welcome as it needs finishing in the next week!

Looking good, but the M2HB is way to short. The barrel is almost twice the lenght of the body.

Also, the Jeep's hood seems to be extruded when it's flat with the rest of the body.

Thirdly, the bar that goes around the back of the jeep (Sorry I don't know the name) is supposed to be double to do this : http://www.jkr.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Willys-jeep.jpg

Look at the two bars for holding the roof.

Looking great though!

thanks for the crit

Will look at that back part (totally forgot to make the other bit) and the gun size when I get in. I'm sure the ref I had showed the angle on the side of the Jeep, but I will double check that too

Will post more soon!

Thanks

Here<s a reference for the M2HB btw.

It is really long :P In fact, it was used as a sniping platform :poly121:

Nice, but damn that HMG is way off the realistic scale!

jsargent · Aug 2011

cheers guys, will get on it soon as I get in tonight! Cool ref btw

jsargent · Aug 2011

done with the model and on to presentation! (Unless anything is pointed out as being wrong) I'm trying to play about with my presentation atm so crits would b great

Thanks

jsargent · Aug 2011

think im almost done. Rendering is something i'm not experienced in so I would really really appreciate ctits or comments on it!

Thanks

Mark Dygert · Aug 2011

Ahh... that's beautiful, nicely done. I love the slightly exaggerated proportions.

Shogun3d · Aug 2011

Nothing wrong with your render imo, looks great! How are you rendering?

jsargent · Sep 2011

Hello, just thought I would post my high poly jeep model now that the competition is over

Was very fun to make and I plan to do a low poly sometime soon

SaferDan · Sep 2011

This is so awesome! Are you rendering in max?

jsargent · Sep 2011

thanks

Yeah I rendered in max. I rendered a separate AO pass and tinted this in photoshop to give it the oldish rusty look.

SaferDan · Sep 2011

Hah you guessed my next question! It looks awesome man looking forward to the low poly!

Boyso · Sep 2011

Kickass!

Skillmister · Sep 2011

Awesome model and render. How did you go about doing the rope and could you show wires of the full model?

bbob · Sep 2011

Ah brilliant model, man.

The slightly exaggerated proportions really gives it character, good job

z0ltan · Sep 2011

This is a whole lot of win! Tinted ao makes it look really sexy.

ajr2764 · Sep 2011

Awesome modeling really love the rendering. Would be cool to see the wires and how did you setup your render.

TheScreamingEagles · Sep 2011

Veeeery purty.

Would love to see you go ahead and bake it down.

chrisradsby · Sep 2011

Very very pretty, looks a bit stylized but I really like it

jeremiah_bigley · Sep 2011

Wanted a high-res pic of this one!

Really cool stuff man! nice clean renders! Sexy indeed.

Christian Hjerpe · Sep 2011

Love your renders, really nice presentation! Great work!

dang87 · Sep 2011

Agreed! Very sexy renders and presentation

Geri0n · Sep 2011

These look really great! I would love to emulate this look...
I hope you plan on rendering turntables, i would love to see them!

jsargent · Sep 2011

Thanks guys

I do have a turntable actually, unfortunately its not the best quality. I kicked off my render the night before the competition ended and it crashed overnight. It left me with not enough time to do a nice quality one and I had to use my PC and my boyfriends to render all day to get it done in time. Here it is anyway, will do a better one soon

Also, I modelled the rope by making a long straight section first. I then made a primitive spiral object and made a shape from selection from one loop of it. I tweaked the new spline in to the shape I wanted my rope to conform to and then used the path deform on the rope piece to make it run along the path.

jordan.kocon · Sep 2011

Not sure if anyone has mentioned, but I think the backseat area would look cool if it had empty shells all over it from the .50 cal. Otherwise the model is kick ass, nice job
