Modeling Contest 16 - TANKS

[WOWWARS]

awesome poll

 

[ikillforeyou]

15 points for mesh (verticies and faces)
10 points for animations (or how well Blizzard animations have been used)
10 points for skin (or how well Blizzard skins have been used)
5 points for mechanics (how well does this model work ingame)
5 points for effects (appropriate use of particles, particle saturation, etc.)
5 points for creativity

I think i can live without the 5 points, i'll get atleast one, atleast, =)

 

[HappyCockroach]

everyones doin a tank on legs :0

 

[anarchianbedlam]

.... ya i noticed that too.... strange how the point of this theme was to keep it simple and here everyone thinks that they are going to get extra pointsfor putting their tanks on legs when they would probably get more points by putting their tanks on well made wheels

 

[Time-to-die]

I kept mine simple, because nobody mass produces a complex tank.

 

[WOWWARS]

thunder tank ftw has my vote

 

[ikillforeyou]

Mine's not on legs. =)

 

[Mr. Bob]

Ok, I found out that my tank has more than 2000polies. I forgot to convert it from editable poly to editable mesh...so now it's 3700...SO! I have decided to remove the legs and add wheels. It's 2500 now.

Here is the UVW so far.

EDIT: K the whole turret is done.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

wow mr.bob, im impressed, that is coming along spectacularly. the texture looks good on it. good wip

 

[DarkKnight]

That might make a good boss unit in a future map =D, it also looks as though it could be a stationary turret XD.

 

[peachypenguin]

Heh, static tank

 

[chilla_killa]

Are those custom textures Mr. Bob? Nice

 

[Deolrin]

It's the Juggernaught texture as far as I can tell.

It looks great, Mr.Bob - I hope the polycount wont be too high when you're done with it.

 

[Misha]

I have decided to remove the legs and add wheels.

and moreso because you seemed to have read my mind on the idea what i wanted to build.

aanyway.. the new mesh looks good. but not that good..


well here are some strange ideas here so far
like the mirage tank :3

 

[ikillforeyou]

mhm, it looks veryveryveryvery pixeled. maybe get some "better" textures?

EDitorz: I've made a completly new concept, now going to make a "nightelf" tank.
anyway WIP time. (I hadn't really much time to work on it though, and next week I'M going sking with school, so I need to work on it really hard this weekend >.<)

 

[General Frank]

So, I've redone my concept of the Ursa Major Super-heavy Tank.

Here's the base mesh of the chassis.

Indeed that is a pretty sweet chasis, GF

 

[Latecat]

Like Red Shift's album shows:
A colonel uses custom textuers...
A General uses INGAME TEXTURES!

(and makes it look awesome.)
So far 3 best i have seen are Kita, Bob & Frank. Like i like to say, lets see who wins. We may never know.

Why is the texture so bright on that thing? D;

 

[General Frank]

Here is my newest progress of my entry.

Advance!

 

[Mr. Bob]

It's bright? It doesn't look very bright...

 

[shamanyouranus]

Looking VERY studly at the moment franky.
But you may want to change the treads, as they look like the same treads as your two previous tanks had, and you might be docked points for that.

And to all of you, good luck, everything is looking great.

 

[Deolrin]

Here is my newest progress of my entry.

Advance!

Wow, this thing looks awesome. I'll presume you wont use those stupid steam tank animations, right? That death animation would really ruin the model.

 

[General Frank]

Wow, this thing looks awesome. I'll presume you wont use those stupid steam tank animations, right? That death animation would really ruin the model.

I will use only very small parts of the original Steam tank animation set, so yeah I will redo the death animation.

 

[Misha]

.. no wonder why is he one of the top modelers here..

 

[chilla_killa]

oO General Frank, your reputation is going over to the second row

 

[General Frank]

oO General Frank, your reputation is going over to the second row

Yeah. 18 more rep and it is one-rowed again D:

Anyway. Here's my new WIP

The new tank

 

[chilla_killa]

Awesome man, I bet you'll win.
But we haven't seen anarchianbedlam's tank yet

 

[anarchianbedlam]

:/ my tank is coming along very slowly.... as usual.... and on top of that im working on paladon's tank at the same time.... expect to see a wip of my tank within a day or two

and GF, that flare on the cannons is awesome

 

[Tleno]

Yeah. 18 more rep and it is one-rowed again D:

Anyway. Here's my new WIP

The new tank

Wait, are those blue parts are team colours?

 

[General Frank]

Yeah, thank you. Actually it was you who made me do this thank. I wanted to do some researches on Halo Wikia and discovered this Grizzly tank. It has almost the same muzzle flash thingies.

Wait, are those blue parts are team colours?

Yes.

 

[Anachron]

General Frank, nice work.
Have fun with the 3rd white gem though.

To all the participating people here, good luck!

 

[Mr. Bob]

The wheels are coming along nicely I think. Looks like it will be about 2700 polies total.

 

[DarkKnight]

something looks kinda strange... can't quite define why... but it does in my opinion.

 

[Ghost765]

thats a ground hugger

 

[BlargHonk]

Frank, that look like the Mammoth from C&C

Mammoth

 

[Direfury]

Hm, I was thinking of joining in this contest for a bit there, but after seeing all of those WIPs...

Damn, why do you all have to be so awesome?

 

[Tleno]

Mr. Bob, that cockpit looks weird on the tank, you know, thanks should look very strong and that cockpit looks vulnearable... so maybe its some kind like artilery/support tank, right? Oh, and is it Cyberpunk styled?

Agree with BlargHonk, it does look like a Mammoth (Or RA2 Apocalypse tank). Looks like most of tanks loving RTS fans have Mammoth tank fetish.

ehm, another question:

can the tank carry some blade based weapons (like the ballista) or does it need to fight with laser, cannon etc... ?

 

[ike_ike]

I've got a hammer on mine, and that slipped past alright <:

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

"And please keep in mind that the point of a tank is to be used in battle, so your submission MUST have a weapon of some sort, be it a catapult, a cannon, a mortar, a machine gun, Gatling gun, laser, missile launcher, grenade launcher, or melee weapon"

PLEASE
PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
