triangles created from 3 points to form a plane are called "FACES" the point that faces are connected with are called "VERTICES" a combination of verticies/faces can be catagorized into a "GEOSET"

polys is not the standard term, although a face can be called a polygon, polygons cannot be faces, for modeling, faces have 3 points and 3 sides, polygons have multiple

BUT i digress

current stats subject to change
32 geosets
22 bones
2902 vertices
1942 faces

currently 335kb in mdl format and 120kb in mdx

ALRIGHT everyone, its time for a "THINK TANK", meaning i need everyone here to help me think of how i can improve this design. Type out some features or post a quick sketch, anything (if you are serious) would be appreciated. This tank needs an overhaul and YOU can help me do it :D

Ill look at everyone suggestions and take bits and pieces of it to make the greatest tank ever. Isn't it great to be involved :)

Well, I've been working on the tank, and I must say, it is coming out INCREDIBLY sexy. So far, I have made the tank and morphed forms, I am currently working on the animations, and as soon as i get the morph and morph alternate animations done, I will show a proper ani. video and screenshots. In the mean time, I believe that this tank is coming out well enough to show exactly what kyrbi0's face would look like melted, when he sees the sheer awesome of this tank.

They are good models, however they do look a little bit plain in color =X I would like to see a different variety in colors. Great job though keep up the work. The last tank Mjolnir is pretty badass im loving the animation on that one!

i dont really like the new guns :\ looks to bulky. The turret itself looks too wide as well. make the treads go more / \ instead of just - - although i like those pistons. I think you've taken away alot of the tank characteristics and turned it into like a monster truck ATV imo.

... You seem like a nice kid. And you have tried to help me in the past, I thank you for this. However, i cannot condone your attitude. It may not be what YOU want, but it is a pretty damn cool model, I tried to make something unique and not just another abrams tank knockoff with the tinker texture smeared across it. In the mean time

I agree. ;)

COUNTER-PWNT

Anyway, I actually think the model is quite nice. I love it a lot. As long as you are using it for dwarven techno etc.

Well done. The animations are especially good.
