Z-Brush for Tanks? 'Kay...

Also, Nanolathe, do you plan on sharing the layers and effects you're using for those models once you perfect them

Ah, it doesn't matter. It doesn't look that terribly hard to duplicate.

At the moment, no, it's not hard to duplicate.

Who says I'm done though?

ZBrush is a digital sculpting tool that combines 3D/2.5D modeling, texturing and painting.
I really think the result its very good.

For ... boxy tanks...?

m'kay.

Lol who talk about tanks ,for that i got 3d studio?

... exactly mushroomars and my own point.

It's been awhile, had a lot going on blah blah blah lets cut right to the good stuff!

Sledgehammer MKII WIP




Still a WIP, I've been having a lot of trouble trying to find something I like for this one, still very similar to Uber's design so I might have a second pass on it to make it a bit more different to stand out.

Basic Idea is that it's a big old fashioned big gun that has to deploy. I went a little high on the tris, it's sitting at 1126 right now.

EDIT: Also noticed that some of the pics/links from the First Post are out of date, I'll get on those tomorrow maybe, but with the newer and better forum search you should be able to find them on your own if you DESPERATELY need to see the newest pics immediately! ;p

Mike

love it.

Alright, first post is updated with new thumbnails and links for the Cougar, Rapier, Inferno and Hailfire.

Might tackle the Fusillade or Strider next....

If you guys like what you see here I've posted my favorite models/ideas over in the Official Unit Suggestions Thread
in the Backer's Lounge so if you like what you see be sure to give it a Like and comment!

I have to say good work on the models.

How long does it take you to make one? like the gun ship first pass?

other then that I dig the models. Is the software you use similar to autocad or solidworks based design software?

It really depends, if I have a good idea of what I want and I'm just doing a first pass to work out proportions and other core stuff maybe an hour tops, but then going in to do all the detailing and manifold meshing and optimizing takes longer. I use XSI|Softimage.

Mike

Is there any way to get into the backer's forum at this point? It's sort of annoying that it's continually referenced despite a good chunk of the forum not being allowed to see it.

Is it that spider from supcom?

Yes, the Monkeylord is the Monkeylord from SupCom.

Mike

Kirikou?

Sorry, I didn't understand what monkeylord was when I was reading the previous posts.

No idea what that is.

Mike

Whelp, Figured I should get off my butt and revamped the Fusillade, the original model was nothing more than a holdover from something else, I honestly can't really remember what anymore.




Same rules as before, AA Flak Weaponry, Tank, Advanced unit, 880 tris blah blah blah.

Mike

That looks pretty BA =)
