%(#0080FF)[Hi Paul

Really impressed with the 4th style in particular.

Can you advise if that is readily available or what it is called.

It has the look that really appeals

Thanks]

You have done some pretty neat modelling there - well done indeed.]

Its one I made by combining 2 that were in the Style Builder Competition Winners set and tweaking the settings a little. All credit to the original authors.
Both Image 3 and 4 are the same style but with different face styles (Hiddenline, Shaded, Monochrome etc) and 'Use sun for shading' switched on or off.
To be honest I cant remember the exact combination but you get the idea.

I've attached the mashed style.

The threads are so perfect it's making me nervous! Amazingly well done.

Hi All. The King Tiger is nearly finished. I'm posting a quick render from kerkythea. i'll be trying to put some textures on it later.

the render came out too bright and the reflection shouldn't really be there but i've no patience to run it again.

The texturing of King Tiger has started. Here's a sneak preview of what its going to be.

Speechless...these tanks are awesome. Sketchup and the talents of it's users never ceases to amaze me.

A quick clay render of the ford 3 ton:

Im a sucker for clay renders of good models.

Uh...uh....

The King Tiger is now textured completely. I will post some renders later. For the moment have a look at partially finished model rendered in kerkythea. The bump map needs a lot of tweaking cos it looks crappy.

How did You made this texture!

shareck · 15 Mar 2009, 14:35

Hello again. Thanks for the kind words. The texture for king tiger i painted in photoshop. I used the right RAL colours that has been used on these panzers from 1944. Paintbrushed green and red/brown patches over the dark yellow base. Then added some darkening where needed and lots of dirt using some dirt brushes found on deviantart. i made texture for left side, right side, top of the hull, top of the turret, rear of the tank, front of it, bottom hull sides, bottom of the tank and the gun barrel. These textures were projected on to apropriate parts of the tank. the most dificult part was to match the top texture to the side texture. I'm gonna make these proper renders soon but for now you can see some SU renders

really nice texturing

Teezer · 15 Mar 2009, 20:22

You're a man with a lot of patience and an eye for detail, sir. I salute you!

tomislavm · 16 Mar 2009, 07:56

Me again!
How big texture You use?
How big tank model is?
Thanks!

texture size ranged from 1200 pixels wide to 2400 pixels wide. the model without textures with copied components weights 7mb. with the textures and many of the components exploded its 26 mb.
