I just finished getting my machine back running, and I had to do something at least moderately intensive to see if the new HD doesn't flop like it did before, so I decided to work a bit on MAX. These are the results so far - it's far from finished, it's obvious, but you can get an idea.




And here I decided to play with one of Venom's favorite tools on MAX, the MeshSmooth modifier:




So, what do ya'll think?

[Shrike]

Well, the turret and gun looks really small compared to the hull, and meshmoothed it looks fugly, but other than that, not bad.

[Knight Templar]

Second one is good.

[Styxx]

Meh, I always seem to make the turrets too small on my tanks. Should be a little better now.

[Knight Templar]

Bigger, by a little though. Looks not bad.

[Shrike]

Much better.

Actually, that turret looks similar to the one on the tank I've been desining.

Erm...

* hides papers with tank designs stolen from Shrike *

What a coincidence, eh?

[Shrike]

Well, kind of.... not that similar, but reminiscent.

Try to do the hover tank from Robotech. Then the mod team can make it transform l8tr!

I like the first one better but the second one is nice too.

I tend to make mines too large

[Shrike]

Here's the one I mentioned, finally got around to doing a bit of 3D work tonight.

[Gortef]

The bigger the turret the better it is Styxx

Enlarge it a bit more and it's perfect

Cool, but the tank seems a bit small when compared to the guys around it... Other than that, it's a very nice design.

yeah, I know, and it's supposed to be a very heavy tank

I guess it's just a very dense tank.

Needs to be about 25-50% bigger, assuming it's a relatively normal 2-4 man tank.

Nice design, resembles the Hammer's Slammers tanks somehow. The hull at least. It just seems that the smaller turret on the top is a bit too tall, and there are a lot of vertical surfaces...

[Shrike]

The vertical surfaces are a perspective illusion.  The sides are canted at close to 40' from vertical, more or less.

And the top turret is a point defense turret, not your typical MG.

dunno exactly. it got ingame once ( in redalert ), it was a bit bigger than your average mammoth tank, so I guess it's pretty huge. one of the many models I did with the good old 3ds3 ( models that look quite ugly now that I think about it... )

btw, Shrike, your tank reminds me a lot from another tank i've seen in some game, but I couldn't tell what game it was to save my life... but it's almost exactly the same tank... bah, can't remember, never mind.
