SMC M#03 - zipel - All Terrain Armoured Vehicle -ravager

[zipel]

160 min so far, i lost a lot of tim on the tire (stupid setback...)

[Claw]

nice work and after only 160 mins something like this would take me months to model. already looking very formidable!

[zipel]

Thank you!

A good way for improving speed (except practise of course), is to use shortcuts. More you know them, the faster it will be. I started using them a lot recently, and it really helped me.

Happy modeling! :dance:

[zipel]

I'm done with the model, and i like how it came out. Changed the desig a lot, because earlier it looked like a light recon vehicle. I think that now looks more like its' name sounds.

[zipel]

Just finished the clay

[t-rex]

wow.
really nice model man.
congratularions.

[Moridin]

Rolling machine of........death

[zipel]

@ t-rex Thanks man

@ Moridin yeah, indeed it is, i guess this is a good thing :)

In case anybody's confused - the cylinder with the chains is used to sweep mines. I didn't have time to adjust the lenght...

[zipel]

I started working on the textures, i don't really like the spec on the rust and maybe the rust itself is too sharp...

They also do a excellent job on sweeping personnel as well :evil:

btw, the curved front panels remind me a lot of the Combine technology from HalfLife2

speaking of combine, i think ill try to make that Combine APC once i finish up on my District9 MNU Casspir

[noyb]

nice work, good start on the texturing too

[zipel]

@ Rachel vd M I never played hl2, the idea came to me when i panicked when i saw there was just ~15 min for modeling left. :D.


@ noyb Thanks man, i think i'll post new updates today.

I got a bit carried away :), so i'm thinking i'll make a bigger project out of this, maybe make small robots instead of biped... (this isn't part of the smc, i already finished the model, this was just for fun).

And did some more texturing

lol i luv this, do it defo i would really like to see this go further :)

[Rachel vd M]

whahahaaa that is awesome,
you should make it into a nice still with robots fleeing for their lives while being shredded
a bit like in Irobot, only more robot gore ;)

i'd bet ya could get a plug on the 3dt frontpage ;)

[zipel]

I'm glade you like it! :)

Agreed Rachel, with oil gushing everywhere (robots don't have blood, do they? :) )

edit: that plug would be great, too :D. I think i'll start new thread tomorrow, i'm not sure about robot's design...was thinking something like small robot goblins... :)

[Rachel vd M]

if you beat them hard enough they might bleed, though i never beaten a robot that hard (yet) ;)

btw have you seen my truck after last nights update yet?

[zipel]

Yeah, check your thread...

[juan]

It looks great but just one comment ... out of the 20,000 guns that it had not one of it can shoot if something comes from behind :P lol

Just a thought lol

[zipel]

Haha, thanks man, you can't see it from this angle, but it doesn't need guns in the back, it has a TON of armour (i'll post a different screengrab, as soon as i get to my computer).

[zipel]

I'm working on another project, so i neglected this one. Don't really have much time, so i didn't make custom textures, i just played with composite map inside max...

This is prety close to the final version, fell free to coment :)

[czacen]

Hi zipel, this design is looking cool. It reminds me of warhammer 40K Orc machines. I love the concept, very brutal and savage.

[diegosword]

really good model. the only thing i notice is the backgroud, it doesn´t help the image. specially the floor, it looks a little curve.

[zipel]

Thanks guys :)

@diegosword I'll change the background, and yes, you're right, the floor is a bit sloped. I had to do it because the cylinder in the front is lowered, so it would intersect the ground if i hadn't pushed it down...
