Show your models thread...(IMAGE HEAVY)

Doing my final renders for my football jumbotron animations, I should be able to get em on here within a day or two as soon as make an account on youtube and such.

Hai

After taking a long breath, perhaps caused by the embarrassment of showing my very first attempt at modelling a vehicle, i come up with this.

So this should be a Carro Veloce CV.35, Italian tankette from WW2. I know there are better Carro Veloces out there, but this one is mine, and I'm f*cking proud of it!

I picked this project because it looks pretty simple. After following a great Glock tutorial, which i haven't finished yet, i couldn't resist and i started modelling some stuff. One of these "models" is this sexy Tankette. For those who don't know what a CV35 is:

Yes, it shots square bullets, hehe.

I don't wanna make this post too long, but let me add that the model needs a lot of work, the machineguns should not be square, but i don't know how to model them properly (In fact, i don't know how to model round stuff, see the back of the tankette, that's my biggest nightmare!). Some details are missing and need to be done, but i have a lot to learn and i hope i can finish my little Tankette!

Basically i've put all i know into this model, I'm experimenting a lot with it

Thanks and wish me luck.

Cool. Also, square bullets were supposedly extremely effective against Islamic enemies, at least according the guy who created the Puckle Gun (his name was Puckle methinks).

Looking like a nice start, torenico. Only the tracks shouldnt come out of the main hull, they are quite lower than it is. Round stuff you can get by creating cylinders and then welding them into the main model where needed.

For those barrels just select the longer edges and chamfer them, it will leave you with an 8-gon, which is round enough for a 3p model

EDIT: Kaland, those little details just below the expolsive might not bake properly, would be better to make them bigger Share the result of the bake with us, please!

Im a ninja!

Just made a quite easy model to just get how normal maps work etc. Probably took no more than about 10 mins to make lol

From my expirience when baking, exagarate detail as alot of the small stuff will be lost

yeah u beat me lucky

[torenico]

Cool thanks for the help, really appreciated

[Doc.Pock]

no problem mate. weve all been there. except rhino. he invented 3d

[lucky.BOY]

What im working on now:

[Mineral]

nice, ctrifle's map will be soo awesome with those

[Doc.Pock]

Since im not very informed of the mapping section, mind telling what this is?

[lucky.BOY]

Something like this, although probably much less cool

[CTRifle]

Nooo dont say that

[Doc.Pock]

any update lucky?

and my latest endeavour. Its to be used in Blood

[lucky.BOY]

Doc.Pock;1862484']any update lucky?

Yeah, turns out that terrain covers are too small for CTRifle's goddamn 4 km terrain, so i need to make them larger. For 6 statics. Each one 7 visible models. FML.

For some meaningful pictures, i would wait for CTR to post some in his map thread, so you can judge in the context of the map.

I did some bunkers statics in the meanwhile (The second is only a model though, even if UV skinned now)

Thinking about covering the first one with dirt, too.

Fine work on that dart btw

[Doc.Pock]

Its an arrow!

splendid work on the second one. but id go triangulising all the nonplanar quads before exporting so it doesnt screw up

[Pvt.LHeureux]

Nice stuff lucky!

[Adriaan]

Nice statics Lucky. Be sure to check the entrances and firing ports/windows with the playermodel templates (located somewhere in pr files...) to check if they're the correct height etc.

[Rhino]

Looks nice Lucky but modelling dirt/terrain is always a bad move if it can be avoided as making it blend and work well (with no zfighting etc) with the normal terrain is pretty hard to do for both the modeller and mapper.

If there is any way these bunkers can be used by mappers without the dirt, I would make the dirt a separate object you snap on, or make two versions of the same static, with and without dirt (if you save a significant amount of LM space from removing hidden faces).

But the best thing is to look into a way it can work with BF2's terrain without any modelled terrain.
