max power 21 Posted March 5, 2010 I did a model of a Marder 1A2 or something... without the ablative armour and with the remote controlled MG3 turret on the back. It looks like you're doing fairly well! The exhast / air conditioning grille (???) on the right side of the door could be accomplished with a normal map, I think. It looks like you have most details present. How did you like modelling the mud flaps, btw? That made me want to kill someone. They are such a weird shape. They look simple but and square they aren't. Then again, I was in quite the state of exhaustion at that point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

max power 21 Posted March 5, 2010 I'm trying to finish up the model of my M197 automatic gun and M97a4 turret. I've got just about all the details I can off of photos, but I still can't figure out how the gun is attached to the turret. If anyone can lend a hand, please do.

jtec 0 Posted March 5, 2010 Takamine it would look a hell of a lot better using your own texture work my friend. The problem you will encounter is that the textures you are using have light reflecting on them which looks very strange ingame. Plus some of the textures look stretched and you can see the joins. My advice would to use the main textures you have as a template layer for you to trace your own textures on top of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then again, I was in quite the state of exhaustion at that point. Well could be done with normal maps but i think that "big" Parts can be done as part of the mesh. Exhaust and the radiator grill are a pretty big part at the Marder. The Mud flaps are pretty easy to model. First i was thinking to that it is impossible to do, but it was easier as i though. :o I still have add some more details. I will post some pictures later. Edit: Ok here now pictures of the Marder with some more Details. The crates on the back are not these from the 1A5 we always have them on our Tanks for stuff to clean the 20mm gun.

max power 21 Posted March 5, 2010 Resolution notwithstanding, one ought not to be able to tell the difference unless there is an issue with parallax or silhouette. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

takamine 10 Posted March 6, 2010 Thanks for the advice JTEC, but these are work in progress screens.. no where close to the finished product, the light reflections will be edited out in photoshop as the work moves along, and in my humble oppinion, i could never make it look as photorealistic with painted on textures.

jtec 0 Posted March 6, 2010 You guys are forgetting that you can easily turn view distance to the lowest settings for the dense jungle. Would love to see a vid of it, dense jungle warfare would be such a bitch though! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It came alive and took him! ✔ Whats the matter Dillon, CIA got you pushing too many pencils? X "What's the matter? The CIA got you pushing too many pencils?" I don't mean this as an insult, only tongue-in-cheek, but I pride myself on Predator quotes and really I just wanted to join in. Other films... not so much :) It's THE film for cheesy quotes.

Desert-Rat 0 Posted March 7, 2010 Ok Finally the Turret is done too. That design of the turret is a hard piece of work but i think it turned out well. :confused: Actual Facecount 16.046 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soul_assassin 1750 Posted March 7, 2010 Nice model but you are pushing the facecount a little and you dont even have the wheels yet. I would suggest replacing some of the details like link meshes and grills with normal and texture maps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
