That sensor alone scares me...

May i ask what program you use? I could never go above 10000 polys on any model with TS, without having it slow to a crawl and die on me...
But that´s some awesome model work!

He uses 3ds max. Version 5, IIRC.

I always wanted to learn how to model but I just don't have the patience

Anyway, that thing is awesome

I have version 6 myself, along with an older 3 version. But 3DS Max scares me, the menus are all hidden. Unless we have a 24 inch monitor, most menus remain hidden, and those that are not occupy a too big percentage of the screen. The viewports are terribly small. That´s why i like TS, like 95% of the screen in used for the viewports.
Plus TS has the "ring" tool, that 3DS Max doesn´t. Using the ring alone, i can shape a primitive a million diferent ways, with just a move of the mouse.
But i realize i have to learn 3DS Max, because TS doesn´t cut it anymore. I guess i´ll have to force myself to learn.
Btw, does Max have a multi- monitor capability? I mean, can i use it with 2 monitors at the same time? If i could plug in a second monitor to display the menus, and use the main monitor to display the viewports, that would be great!

That´s some awesome work.

Now if only you could do the same with a spaceship...

Tiny update...

Styxx · **Reply #73 on:** December 01, 2004, 01:19:06 pm

And started work on some anti-tank turrets. I hadn't planned to add these, figured it should have at least some defense...

aldo_14 · **Reply #74 on:** December 01, 2004, 01:58:56 pm

Anti tank turrets?

What in hell are the stonking great cannons for, then? Levelling mountains? Incinerating small moons?

Cyker · **Reply #75 on:** December 01, 2004, 02:25:21 pm

Holy smeg... the detail of the model alone is simply amazing!

Jeez man, you won't NEED textures at this rate

LOL - I love how you show that the AT turrets can point downwards at a significant angle.

BTW, could you do a simple draft render or something with a modern MBT and a 747 in there for scale?

Swamp_Thing · **Reply #77 on:** December 02, 2004, 08:29:14 am

Ya´know, i liked that tank so much that i started making one myself!:drevil:
Not nearly as big in size or detail, but it´s still the most detailed and high poly model i have ever made! Count is now at 18000, just about what TS can handle.
If Styxx doesn´t mind me tankjacking his thread, i might post a screen or two of it, maybe tomorrow.
Who knows, maybe someone starts a tank MOD for FS!

Swamp_Thing · **Reply #78 on:** December 02, 2004, 10:27:19 pm

As promised, the first shots of my little tank (miniscule in comparison to Styxx´s), still a long way from finished. The problem is that TS has given me all that it could, and now refuses to handle so many polys...
I still need to greeble most flat surfaces and the entire front, and finish the inside. My idea is making it a walk-in model.

Hope you don´t mind Styxx. If so, i will take them down, no prob. I just think these shots don´t warrant a thread of their own.
Anyway, can you tell me what´s the poly count on yours? Just to compare TS´s performance (or lack of it) with 3DS Max. I know i should change, but i tried a few minutes ago and i just can´t make out anything...

EDIT:
I´ve taken out the pics, leaving just one, because i opened a dedicated thread. That way i don´t hogg anybody´s thread.Go check it out.
