Hey guys, I'm fairly new to 3DS Max and was just looking for some feedback on my tank.

I've posted the high poly, low poly, maps etc underneath. The normal map isn't quite finished yet. Cheers.

High Poly:

Low Poly:

Diffuse:

Specular:

Out of curiosity what are you rendering that in?

Beanwright · Apr 2012

It's in Max 2012.

Is it just me or does the perspective seem broken?

Quickel · Apr 2012

It looks like it's in user view.

The first shot is in perspective with edges on. The rest are rendered out.

Does anybody have any crits at all? They'd be really helpful.

It's looking awesome so far. Perhaps you could work more details in to the diffuse? It looks a little monotonous. I appreciate it's a tank and they're hardly the most colourful of vehicles, but maybe scratches where the paint has come away to reveal unpainted metal? Or dirt around the tracks? Scratches can also be added to the normal map for added effect, then overlayed on the diffuse to make sure you get the colour placement correct.

Be sure to have a good write up for this and I think you're on your way to a good grade!

Haha, thanks man. Yeah like you say, tanks are#nt the easiest thing to make interesting colour wise. But yeah i'll have a look at the scratches thing and see what I can get going.
