WIP: A Russian Isu-225 tank

bullethead · 25-02-2004, 12:38 PM

I know its a little to early in the stage to post the 3d pics of this but I need help with something that is really annoying me. I deleted a couple polys cause they were unnecasary and made the model look ugly replaced em with a single poly. But when I did that it shows the new poly in the perspective viewport but not in the top view and its a tad annoying. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I could be wrong but check the normals and see which way they are facing for that face. I have run into this before and found that the normal was facing the opposite direction of the other faces. You might also check to see if double sided faces is turned off.

bullethead · 25-02-2004, 01:10 PM

OH GOD...*smacks self in head*yes force 2 sided was on in the perspective viewport. I cant belive I didnt check to see if that was the problem before posting here...anyways...next post will be with more details added.

bullethead · 25-02-2004, 02:26 PM

Whoops...realized the name is wrong for the tank...its a Russian Isu-152 tank...my bad.

bullethead · 26-02-2004, 03:01 PM

Ok..well I got a new pic with some new details added. And Im having a problem. Youll see by the arrows what I mean. Ive been trying to delete the faces and then creating new ones but they end up looking the same as before. Could someone help with that plus C&C IS HIGHLY APPRECIATED!!...lol

bullethead · 26-02-2004, 03:02 PM

and heres the tank im modeling

ignanacho · 26-02-2004, 07:51 PM

I can be wrong but i think that all the vertices have to be in the same plane. try picking up the four vertices and making them planar.

Vitor · 27-02-2004, 05:05 AM

That happens due to the faces smoothgroups.
Are you going to model it without using Meshsmooth? Because if you are going to use meshsmooth you don't have to care about smoothgroups.

bullethead · 27-02-2004, 09:48 AM

There are going to be parts I use meshsmooth. But not on the whole thing.

bullethead · 28-02-2004, 12:32 PM

*whipes sweat off brow* whew...thank god I save an earlier copy of this tank cause I just noticed I messed up majorly in the back end and nothing lines up. So this is more of a mess up update more then a good new stuff added update. Next update will be with a crap load of detail...will be in a couple days or so, so hang on to your diapers...lol

Dedalo · 28-02-2004, 02:40 PM

Looking good, keep working.

bullethead · 01-03-2004, 10:33 AM

Ok...heres an update...its nothing much. Just threw in some fake GI to make this render look pretty..lol..added the drums in the back end...added the hatch in the back as well...you cant see it that good but its there...and I started adding the hatches on the top you can tell by the purple colors and stuff...well here it is.

bullethead · 01-03-2004, 11:38 AM

No crits....*starts to run away and cry*

Drizzt · 01-03-2004, 05:36 PM

don't you think that render is kinda dark

Do something with your GI and make it brighter and maybe someone will criticise this coz on this one you can't see nothing exceprt lots of dark.

bullethead · 01-03-2004, 05:40 PM

K...will try to get a new render in a couple minutes
