Pavel Petrenko · Mar 2015

Hey guys! I would Like to share with you some of my WoT vehicles.
The pipline is quite simple, I use 3D Max, Maya, ZBrush, Photoshop, Quixel, 3D Coat.
Hope you like it!

Awesome stuff, how did you achieve the Tank Material Hull. Specifically on the Jagdpather

Pavel Petrenko · Mar 2015

We have historically accuracy department that help as to move in right direction.
Base of Hull created using Zbrush for edges and surface

skyline5gtr · Mar 2015

So you just use a brush for the weld points and beat it up a bit in zbrush

Ged · Mar 2015

wow these are amazing, looks impressively high poly and very large textures?

skyline5gtr · Mar 2015

Are you able to share the texture sheets ?

Pavel Petrenko · Mar 2015

nope sorry

chetanmaac · Mar 2015

man these are awesome work man keep it up can u tell me did u model these thing with connectivity or use floating on sub details with skirting?

avenali312 · Mar 2015

These look great! Are your images being rendered in-engine or with an external viewer like Marmoset? What kind of average creation time does one of these assets have?

Pavel Petrenko · Mar 2015

there are all shots from game engine

Dethling · Mar 2015

The texture work is awesome.

JamesMeader · Mar 2015

mean looking tanks fo sho

ddoan88 · Mar 2015

Just curious. I noticed you using 3DS Max and Maya. Is there a reason why you choose to jump between the two software? Is there something you enjoy doing better in 3DS Max that Maya doesn't achieve?

Pavel Petrenko · Mar 2015

There is no magic I prefere to work in Max, but our project is working with Maya, so I use it just for export and some simple operations

theSixtyEight · Mar 2015

sick work!I wish I could study your psds, materials are superrealistic

Micaki · Mar 2015

2 questions about high-poly:
-how do you place track links? (i assume you dont place them manually)
-are rifled barrels one model? im curious if you model all the rifling

Also do you have some kind of tools or scripts to create all these welds or you sculpt that in zbrush by hand?

there are all shots from game engine

Too bad that the models look worse in the game itself

We have historically accuracy department

Awesome, when are they going to finally do their work?

Models are awesome, but textures look, well just bad (in game). Like texture artists don't what kind of materials were used when building tanks. You cant see all the layer of paint that tanks had on them, scratches are shiny, and they rather should be rusty/dirty/or have color of dark stainless steel.(it just hurts, when you see something like this) Also it looks like sometimes they have tanks in museum as reference, and that's bad because these tanks mostly have paint that is really shiny(it looks almost like a plastic), and real tanks look just really different. It would be better to have scale models and old photos (in colour) as refence for texturing imho. Anyway thanks for sharing

Pavel Petrenko · Mar 2015

Micaki: sorry I cant tell you how does it work.
About texturing, thanks for advice

but I think we have great historically correct art direction.

Pavel Petrenko · Mar 2015

Thank you guys!

ross185 · Mar 2015

Wow these are awesome looking tanks! I tried making one the other month and sort of gave up

I don't like giving up but it was probably too high above my skill level. I did make a good tred but just couldn't get the middle bit looking correct...

But you have got it down exactly

Ross

Goobatastic · Mar 2015

Absolutely awesome. The texturing on that first tank is brillant. Love the swirl marks from wiping it down

Pedro Amorim · Mar 2015

1 word: Spectacular!

stagga · Mar 2015

These are incredible Pavel, thanks for posting. I love the game and these new hi res models look fantastic. Can I ask how you got that wiped down dust effect on the panels and barrel of the AMX 30? It's one of those details that makes it incredibly lifelike but would never have occurred to me to add!

cptSwing · Mar 2015

Lovely stuff.

Sliterin · Mar 2015

What can I say? Very good stuff here ;-)

Joao Sapiro · Mar 2015

one of the best texturing i have ever seen. Congrats !!

wester · Mar 2015

Wow the texture work on these tanks is unbelievable! Great work!

Pavel Petrenko · Mar 2015

Thank you so much guys for kind words! Glad you like it!

kn0r · Mar 2015

Awesome! Sick materials!

Pavel Petrenko · Mar 2015

Thank you guys!
stagga: wiped down effect achieved with different brushes and mixing some texture parts. Same way as leaking effect on rear wings.

gd6 · Mar 2015

Amazing model and texture!
Глаз не оторвать от проработки, очень круто сделано. Молодец!

Pavel Petrenko · Mar 2015

gd6: Thank you!

Pavel Petrenko · Mar 2015

Another shot with example of subtle wear of Aluminium

Abrasive · Mar 2015

Great models! Can we use it in our T.A.N.K.S project

?

Pavel Petrenko · Mar 2015

Gonzo Thanks for kind words

IxenonI · Mar 2015

Nice work Pavel! These all look great.

donofdon · Mar 2015

Lovely stuff. there is a lot of gorgeous detail here, the bashed front fenders(?) showing the bare metal is my favourite. Id love to know more about your texture workflow, but understandable if you can say much.

littleclaude · Mar 2015

Perfect, thanks for the share, really is some of the best eye candy right there!

Clark Coots · Mar 2015

Really superb work! World of Warships looks awesome too.

RitualSynergY · Mar 2015

Hnnnnggg! Those textures.....great work man!

KurtR · Mar 2015

This seems like sooo much fun! Great work

Iciban · Mar 2015

Great stuff! I have to ask, for texturing, I saw that quixel is part of your workflow. Did you just use it for a base or was done from beginning to end? Just curious on how it was used

KurtR · Mar 2015

What do you use 3Dcoat for btw? I tried it for retopology, seemed much better than anything else I tried for that specific job.

kanga · Mar 2015

Incredible work!
Well done.

kimmokaunela · Mar 2015

That texturing work is just simply amazing! I haven´t tried the game but now I really need to

martinszeme · Mar 2015

Amazing texture work there. Could you explain some of your workflow? How much of it is DDO/Substance and if any how do you control it?
Great work guys!
