Like I've said before, it's awesome.

Btw, is that rendered with Brazil, or is it just regular 3dsmax without any funky plugins? I just wonder, it would look much better with soft shadows. Sorry, being picky.

Get rid of the wheels and make it for FS2!!!!

Completely stellar!

[MetalDestroyer]

No, make it for a futur mods for Fs 2
A game like Battlezone

Styxx models for MT (he did the mainhall, in particular).  Don't think he skins, though.

Think of the petrol costs

[HeX]

Somehow I'm thinking that thing doesn't run on gas.

If it did, every time you'd fill it up all the oil producing nations in the world would drop 3 feet.

He skins, just not UV mapped ships. He does the tile ones mainly. (Although he did do a pretty decent job on one ship... too bad I have to go over it...) (which this reminds me, I've been neglecting...)

As a matter of fact, I'm working on textures for this beast. Here's a preview:



And it's rendered on MAX5, with a Skylight and Light Tracer on: it does have soft shadows, but you can't really tell because the camera is so far away.



An I am modeling for FS2 - lots of ships and models for MT, we just don't really like to show everything before releasing the whole campaign because it would ruin the surprise. I generally start working on a hi-poly model after a long stretch of MT-related work (or a particularly stressful period of real life work) to relief some of the stress. After I'm done with this I'll get back to MT full steam.

Not necessarily a bank carver.

Saw the Space Shuttle's own track vehicle? Does the Empire state building sink?

No it doesn't and it's made of stone, I know it has a solid foundation but it's not force or weight that matters but pressure.

If that monstar has big enough tracks it can dispense it collosal weight on a big enough surface. It can be made of steel and armor.

I like that stuff - I wonder when games will have that level of detail.

Good stuff...

[Taristin]

Making use of MAX's generic railings, eh?

Anyway, it's looking badass (to steal the usage from Night Hammer)

I can't wait to upgrade, so that modelling becomes less of a chore.

[Taristin]

Also, that turret would own on a capship.

[Liberator]

The Crawler's track is solid reinforced concrete about 30-40 feet think, IIRC.

Also, the Empire State Building doesn't move and it's foundation is even deeper.

[Singh]

ok......i dont believe anyone has even asked this yet!!

The question:
How many polys?

I agree, very original, very cool. It totally reminds me of the tanks from Super Mario 3! Way more rockin' though. Yes, I was wondering how many polys as well. Also in your final render, I think it'd be cool to see some crew manning the beast (even though they'd be relatively small in comparison to the tank), it'd help with the scale. I didn't even notice the rails until Raa mentioned them, and then I thought of the scale and . Anyway, great work Styxx!

[Corhellion]

Whoa...damn it!

...mind if I borrow a few of your techniques/ideas for something that I'm building?

But...damn it! It's awesome! What's the crew compliment? 250? 500? 750? looks about the size of an air craft carrier...but...it somehow looks like it wouldn't fit 2000 people in it...

The detail in that is fantastic. It reminds me somewhat of your big capship...speaking of which...

*goes to find the thread*

[delta_7890]

You, sir, are disgustingly gifted.

[Getter Robo G]

Cool one Delta.
 I'll have to start Ilsultantly-Compliment people as well.


When I see things like that I have to re-evaluate my existence...

[pyro-manic]

Unbe-frickin'-lievable! I'm going to have to agree with delta_7890 on this - you havemuch more talent than is good for you...

Styxx, have you read "Look To Windward" by Iain M Banks? This brings to mind the land battleship from the start of the book.
