You guys rock, thanks! I was shooting for as few polies as possible, just to see if I can make it look like a tank--a very cartoony, simple one that could even be used in a mobile game. Plus I'm using it as a UV model so that I can get my head around that. I'm using modo 103. Daz, I see what you're saying about the flow--I…
A Guards designation was awarded to units who distinguished themselves in combat.

Hello!I'm trying to diversify my portofolio with some more vehicles and I wanted to model a tank for a long time,so I've decided on the Challenger 2.For now I'm just blocking out in 3ds and trying to find good references,since it's kind of hard to find.Even the blueprints aren't perfectly matcjing,but that's it,I'll have…
The UVWs have quite a bit of room available for use. It's generally a better idea to place UVs right next to each other. Sometimes rotating them a bit or using some Tetris logic to fit them as tightly as possible is required. For the UVWs, the scale should never be rectangles. It should always be perfect squares. The way…
WIP: This project is a combination presentation of concept art and 3d assets. So far, progress is at 2d B&W Concept via basic 3dsMax blockout and Photoshop CS4. Please critique, thanks!
