Nah, it´s just a composite shot. The planes and the background are from different images.

This one is from my website. I really need to do some more.
http://homepages.tesco.net/benedict.kent/Buttons/Mainimage.png
Xabba, one thing about yours is that the clouds are not really reflections, it just looks like there are clouds in the water, that's really the only thing I noticed, except for the sun in the reflection, you could try to put where it really is, in the picture. Other than that it looks good.:D
Looks good Xab. I have to agree with Bort about the clouds and the sun, tho.
XabbaRus
07-11-06, 04:31 PM
tell me about it. Bloody 3DS MAx where ever I put the light for the sun the reflection would go anywhere but where I wanted it.
As for the reflections, well that is a flat glass reflective surface I chucked on.
I've done better just need to find them.

Being the noob I am when it comes to 3D modelling, I decided to go with Modo as it seems to be abit more user friendly for new guys. Kinda like I learned the basics of photo/picture stuff in Paintshop Pro and then got Photoshop later on.

Cool! I remember these things from primary school... can still make em work in a jiffy. I remember some kids were frustrated because they couldn't see what all the other kids were seeing.
Welcome back to "Pimp My Tank". In the last episode, we showed you what Uncle Adolf from Germany had sent us. Adolf was hoping that we would do something about his Tiger as, I quote, "Taking a joyride should be fun, but I'm too embarrassed to even go to work in that! My neighbour, Hermann, is constantly making fun of my Tiger. Please help!!."
Worry not Adolf. Soon it'll be you who's laughing and taking nice Sunday drives throughout the french country side.
The first task we faced was the absolutely horrendous wheels the tank had, so we ordered custom made, solid steel wheels for you.

The problem with that would be that I've gotten used to model using the Modo's subdivide mode (it's kind of an autosmooth thingy), so the amount of polygons would propably be abit too much for a game. The tracks in the state they are now (finished) have 91 000 polygons (blocky as hell), with SubD turned on the polycount jumps to ~1.7 million and 6+ million when rendered. And that's just one track, so ~12 million polygons (rendered) for just the tank's tracks. :haha:

Ah, not that bad, would have expected more with 6...million...polygons...
I toned the subd down for that render, so it was 'only' 2.5 million polys or so.
GOOD GORRAM CHRIST!!! 12 MILLION POLYS IN THE THE TRACKS ALONE?!?!?
and only 20 min to render? you must have a MONSTER machine ... mine whimpers thinking about it.
very nice work, btw. with that many polys, you could zoom right down in there and get some awesome detail shots.
stream of thought here .... are you still able to interact with models at this resolution on your machine? if so, fricken awesome!
Anyhow ..

Not sure if you have to have a fb account to see this ... it should be public ...:hmmm:
-
I believe modo's rendering engine has been optimised for the SubD. Like Vue for example, I think the most polys I've had in one scene was 3-4 billion, add to that wind effects on trees, lighting and shadows, yet it rendered it in less than an hour... animated scene was a different story. :haha:
Raptor1
11-19-09, 07:01 PM
3-4 billion
Eep
Quick (and hopefully the last) update on the tracks. I think I'm finished with them, with the exception actually having the spacing etc. correct. But that's going to happen when I have the hull done. Managed to cut the polycount to ~2.1 million per side, can squeeze 400k or so off by reducing the wheel count to 8 from 16 per side (need to see how it looks when the hull is ready).

Dont know yet. Propably nothing. The only reason I started doing this was because I think it's easier to get used to modelling by doing a "complete" project instead of replicating stuff you see in tutorials.

I don't think it can be used for much with the amount of polys Dowly is speaking of.
I don't think it can be used for much with the amount of polys Dowly is speaking of.
I've managed to tone down the polygons quite abit. Now the total of both tracks together is somewhere around 2.7 million in subd and without subd 600k or so. :yeah:

Good job with the Tiger Dowly.
@letum -- VERY nice .... wondering what techniques you used to assemble the bits .... barely needs any texturing I'd say, just a nice metallic surface ... poly count? :03:
Cheers.
The only mildly complex bit was the heat sink fins on the top of the
piston heads. First I polly modeled the basic shape. It quickly became
apparent that it was going to be impossible to model such complex fins
so I used a displacement map instead. It still needs work; some of the
fins should be longer, some shorter.
The gearbox is a polly modeled sub-D. Tubes are all splines and the
lower part of the cylinders are lathed splines.
I could get away with chucking some metallic surfaces at it, but I need
the practice texturing and the result is always better. Besides, Textures
are fun.
It's all 21st century Airfix.
165,418 Pollys total so far, but the render engine adds a few more
when it calculates the displacement maps.
First textures underway:

If anyone is interested at taking a look I can box it all up as a .obj or Max9 scene.

Wow..
I have a lot to learn with MAX. Syaing tha I am chugging away with version 4.2
Fingers crossed work will get me Solidworks and a beast to run it on.
Anyway after I have finished making my kit Kilo, I'm going to use it to get some sizes and then make a new 3D one in MAX.
Getting to know the Modo's animation tools. :hmmm:
http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee274/Finnish_Ferret/Tracks_Wheels_Plane.gif
like the creative use of disp-map .... i was thinking an object array with a scale-curve applied along the z axis ..... disp-map prolly results in fewer polys and cleaner workflow tho.
I use blender, haven't been in max in YEARS :O:
good stuff
-
Want to know the sad part? That's no displacement map, but one segment of the tread constrained to a curve, which I then duplicated 95 times and offset them... by hand. :DL:):cry:
Buuut I got enough of the animation stuff for today, so here's quick shot of the arse-end of the King Tiger.

I see where your coming from and I would have loved a polly solution
just because I like to work with real objects, but the fins are just far
to complex. Take a look at my refs; it's a nightmare.

Bah, I happened to have been killed once and pinned down for 3 minutes afterwards by a friendly MG on the very same 29th ID server 2 days ago...
Having talked with Chad a bit about 3D modeling, I've decided to restart the King Tiger "soon". I lost what I had when I reformatted my PC, but doesn't matter. Lots of stuff I should've done otherwise in it, so better start from scratch. :hmmm: Also, as a extra, I'm thinking of modelling the interior first and then slap armor plates around it, kinda like one does a miniature model. (kinda have started on it already)
Raptor1
04-18-10, 10:33 AM
When I have free free time again, I'd finish the IS-2 I set up to model a while back in order to obliterate that King Tiger of yours...
Wouldn't want to be in a King Tiger, when I did research on the interiors, it seemed like the shells were stored on the inside walls against the armor plates. :doh: Propably the same with other tanks, but just never knew that, feels kinda silly. :hmmm:
:o Slow, heavy, prone to breakdowns and uses its own ammunition as armour...
Think I'll stick to the Panther or Tiger I, even if they've got much lighter armour and a smaller gun...
Heeey, the King Tiger was actually quite mobile for it's size! :yep: But yeh, it's early stages in war weren't pretty. Some units lost majority of their Tiger II's to machine break downs. I remember reading that one unit lost something like 5 of their first KT's and they had to blow them up to avoid the enemy getting their hands on them, they never fired a shot with them. :doh:
Here's a good pic of where (AFAIK) the shells were stored (those little shelves on the back there).

Here are a few surviving renders I did years ago with POV-Ray. I had a real affinity for spheres back then for some reason, probably because the clear materials catch the light and do cool stuff with it. The version of POV back then didn't have some of the really nice features that the current release has. Now if I just had the time and attention span to take advantage of it.
Yes, that is my name that I plastered into the images. We didn't have to worry about privacy so much back then.

This last one is my favorite. The end of the copper cylinder that was differenced off of the bottom of the glass reflected back into the sphere to create these kind of Princess Leia-hair swirlies on the inside. That was totally unexpected.
Like the last one. :yeah:

I though to start the King Tiger interiors with the easy stuff to get all the thingies back to my memory. So, here's the shells. The black grenade won't be in the final thing, I'm making two sets of shells the yellow and the slightly shorter with black grenade. The ammo racks for the inside of the hull are almost ready, just need to re-check if the ones in the turret are any different or if I can use the same ones for both. Anywho, more on them propably tomorrow. :hmmm:

Hey Dowly, how did you create the textures on your render of the shells?
BTW, I'll be posting some stuff up soon that I've made in Modo. Friggin great tool, thank you so much for your help :up:
Ah, hey Chad. :salute:
Those are done by using the preset materials I talked you about. Don't really need much more, iron/brass material with bumps and another material to add a solid color on top of it. Just simple drag and drop.
BTW, forgot to mention Modoland channel on Youtube, same guy as the Applesoldier I think I mentioned, so check it out. Lots of tuts there. :yeah:
Anywho, can't wait to see your work, sorry if you've missed me on MSN, don't use it much otherwise than on weekends. :oops:

Thanks. That one took around 1 hr mainly due to the reflections on the car.
Well, I've finished up a tutorial and think I have a good grasp of Modo.
I want to try to test my hand at modeling something new without help, any recommendations as to what I should try to model?
Look around the house, plenty of simple stuff to model. I modeled my PC table as my first practice job. Was simple enough, yet still had few things that I had to think abit. :hmmm:
Or just pick an subject and start modelling different parts of it, don't aim to model the whole thing, just part at a time. :yep:

Hmm.. couldn't you have done those ropes with the cloth (or whatsmacallit) modifier? Doesn't it take the mesh and sort of wraps it around another mesh?
Or if 3ds max has constrains like Modo, which allows to do the same but by choosing the right constrain and moving the ropes down and they'll wrap around the balloon.

A speed sketch I did of my friend Tess. I know there's a few things wrong with it but I only had a 2H pencil and no rubber/eraser. Took 30 minutes which in my opinion is too long for a speed sketch but never mind :)

That looks good. I can tell that you have talent. 30 mins for a sketch is really not that long. If you check my posts #130 and #132 in this thread, ech one of those pictures took between 2 to 4 hours to finish.
I agree, that sketch is really good for a quickie Magerius. Does Tess like it? She should. :yeah:

Quick test render of what I've been working on. It's eventually gonna be something like a derelict hospital corridor. It's far from finished but eventually it will have a nice coat of peeling paint on the walls and ceiling, plus doors/windows/lights etc. And maybe a nice wheelchair :D Really pleased with the tiles though, yep they are individual, yep I manually adjusted the broken ones :yeah: fun fun fun

GMAX is an excellent modelling tool, but unfortunately it lacks any sort of renderer (At least it did when I used it).

Yes it still does, infact Discreet ceased support for it, they host the DL and give out new reg codes and that's it. But if you want to learn modeling I recommend it since moving up to 3ds Max is easy, and 3ds max is widely used.

Work the lighting a bit. Make it more brighter so it doesn't look like the tracks just end there but so it shines more and thus blurs the borders of the end of the tunnel. :hmmm:

Thanks for the feedback Dowly, I agree. I've added a lens flare and some glow, which now masks the end of the tunnel :yep:

Playing around with FumeFX. Gas pours in the first 30 frames, after which the temperature raises to 500C and ignites it.

My newest Model, an LMS country station, loosely based on Goathland Station on the North York Moors Railway, which was incidentally where they filmed Heartbeat and Harry Potter (Hogsmeade) :D It's also the basis for Hornby's Skaledale Station model, which this was actually more accurately modelled after.

Just fooling around in Blender, couldn't figure out how to make the wing smooth without smoothing the whole thing and ruining the shape of the endplates.
Still learning the program, have to look through the tutorials again.
A veeery simple looking rear wing I made. No idea what its dimensions are, it could be miniscule or the size of a building.

Ow come on, they look nothing like it. :O: (They aren't 100% correct for the work I'm doing, but close enough. Maybe they should be slightly more in an angle :hmmm:)
Two more shots, still working quite low poly on the buildings, trying to get the scale somewhat right (which it isn't, the tower thingy on the other side of the bigger buildings should be much nearer to the wall). Thinking of using bumpmaps & textures to add detailing instead of modelling. :hmmm:

Colony in Zeta II Reticuli system, on a moon called Acheron orbiting a Gas Giant, owned by Weyland-Yutani corporation. Also known by it's inhabitants as 'Hadley's Hope'. :O:
Population 158 :DL
Right, it's the colony where the story of movie ALIENS takes place.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mkay, started to redo the buildings with more detail + subD. This is the north lock, from where the marines entered the complex in the movie. All the locks are the same building, except for the S lock that houses the Operations room on top of it where they hold up. Anywho, I do the N lock separately as I'm planning to add the main corridor in it (I had done it before I had formatted my POS PC and lost it :wah:).

That's very cool! Been meaning to do something like that for ages but never have gotten around it. MOAR!! :rock:
Small update on the main module of the LV-426 project, added more stuff to the roof, still needs few panels and stuff. The beams on the side is my own creation, the sides are different in the movie, but I though this would make it look more 'industrial', the modules are like building blocks that are dropped to colonies. :hmmm:
This is hastily sub-D'd so it looks more roundish at some points as it will in the finished thing.

I've begun doing the mount for the rear wing now. The two pillars are hovering in the air at the moment, a bit draggy as well with the square shape. :O:
The mount is fused with the bottom wing.
Suggestions are welcome, looks weird with just vertical pillars like that IMO. :)
