[EDIT: Apparently, people are pretty anal about filesize, so here's an update with a smaller texture, enjoy. The 512x512 texture is still available in the modeling contest thread.]

Well, it's a tank, what more could you possibly want?

Alright, sure.. It shoots stuff, it's heavy and it's rusty.

935 polies, uses a 256x256 texture.

Animations:

Walk
Stand
Stand -2
Stand Ready
Attack
Death
Decay

Not the most complex animations or particles, but I'm a texture artist at heart, the rest is just so I actually have something to put the texture on.

Do enjoy!

Keywords:
Tank, rust, heavy, metal.

This model won the contest, period.

It demonstrates some things that for some reason many modelers don't place importance on.

-It is fully animated.
-It has an incredibly low file size of 95 kb for such a detailed model, in fact the whole package is under 130 kb with compression and no loss to texture quality.
-It has teamcolor.

All I can say is make more.

I'm inlove with this model, but there is one huge problem which stops me from using the model - I can't get it to work with SetUnitLookAt. There is no turret part of the model. Bone_Turret? Whatever that thing is, can you please make it, so I can use the model :S

EDIT: Nevermind. I did it myself, by renaming TurretBase to Bone_Turret, ha-ha.

Its a very nice model for modern warfare games. The problem in this model is that its "gothic" colors dont fit in the cartoon anime wc3. Would fit more in games like metal gear solid. You have a 5 from me for your good work, but I wont use the model. I am more of a "Might&Magic" fan if you get what I mean.

Everyone keeps complaining about the simplicity of the tank when to be honest, the simplicity makes this tank so awesome. If I wanted a complex tank with a million different guns and animations, I would go and download one of the numerous "complex" tanks available on the hive. But I don't want a complex tank in fact, this one is exactly what I wanted which is a simple yet high quality tank. 5/5

Sweet model, and you know, cuz I have a computer bought in this decade, this filesize does not really matter.... Btw why is it so important to have a low filesize? If it's over a certain limit it can't be played in multi?
