Hello again! I was looking at trying to create an interesting effect for this object: My original intention was to create something with Cascade like a typical electric or energy effect (still might do so), but I got to thinking how I'd want to make something a little more challenging, and got the idea for seeing if…
Good evening Polycounters, I've been peering around this forum for a bit now and thought it was high time I posted the little project I've been working on; an M5 Stuart tank. Once finished, I hoped the final product will be suitable as a game asset with the final polycount being around 40,000 tris (I've seen current gen…
Hello this is my topic for my ongoing project: "Roadside Picnic". Hopefully this thread will contain your comments and your critique about my work on this project and I will try to keep you posted as far as the progress goes. Here as some finished pieces I already have done for the project to begin with. This is the…
ha. i kicked so much ass. even got a few shots on Ror as you guys were trying to kick him. pansies. just give me the tank. During Bocage, I sniped the enemy base and shot Daz like 3 times in a row before stealing one of their planes. At one point it was me against chunky. i had a friggin tank, and he had those wussie boy…
All i want is to make something cool and have people see it. While DomWar is a cool comp, you don't need it to complete such a task. I hope Fred doesn't drop DW5 into the mist, or the site (there's just that grey area of speculation until we hear about the "financial disarray" of GA). Yes, we should do a PC civil war. I…
thanks for the comments and suggestions guys. emil: yea, i was poking fun at some pissing drama that was happening around that time, josh didn't have anything to do with it, he was just along for the ride. i jokingly challenged him to a penis tank duel. i had only gotten this far with the model. almost. i keep promising a…
Mightypea: Thanks, man! I'm gonna have fun with these. I need to brush up on my texturing skills-- that looks like a bad joke... sorry, but it's true-- my texturing sucks and I've been out of practice what with school and all... $!nz: you're right, dude-- I'd like to see some swatch sets too! Really curious what the pros…
Hello Eric, Thanks so much for getting back to me! I really appreciate the resources you shared—they’re super helpful. I personally prefer the wintery one, as I feel it’s clearer and communicates the idea better. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the theory side of things—lighting, composition, and all that can be a…
Well, a vague concept like that can produce a good model, yeah, but Could you really show that tank to a client and then show a 3d model a few weeks later without the risk that they were expecting different things in those vague details and shadowed areas? I'm not saying you cant model a good tank, but can you really model…
