Tank Museum UPDATE - new renders
-
Well. The only surfaces that are hard to make without any plugin would be the shapes of the cast turrets (t-34, t-62, sherman). Those are kinda organic shapes that cannot be done with the follow me tool and this is why they're either low poly or non accurate. Everything else is quite easy to achieve. It's mostly straight lines and "follow me".
I'm not working in design studio or anything like that so my computer at work is a simple, dated office pc - P4, integrated video card, 480mb RAM
. So you can see that i must have some patience. At home it's not much better. Still pentium4, 2gb ram and a proper graphic card. But i'm ok with that as long as i hide the layers i'm not working on. -
looks like i'm back in the production line of comments again (been a bit busy). First things first, great job on the models (10 stars), you really got a sharp eye for detail. Seems like you are starting your own virtual war hee hee. I always wanted to build a tank, even if it was only a plastic model.Now one can be inspired by these models if they want to build a tank one day and use these as reference images. This is truly inspiring to those who think Sketchup is still a light weight box building tool only to be used for Google earth. I see more and more heavy duty artists creep out of their shell and show off the capabilities of Sketchup. IDEA: You should build a scene, where a tank stands in the debris, ruined buildings and lots of loose and blown up stuff lying around. Could be really fun. But again, well done, it is truly something beautiful to look at.

I did these renders a while back, I got the SKP model from the warehouse, did you make this or was it someone else? -

It's a Jagdpanther and it's not mine.

I've been trying to render some of these tanks. I'm using Kerkythea and still have a lot to learn. Have a look at some renders of KV-1 in a warehouse i've made. I'm still not happy about the light and shadows. Also the warehouse needs some dirtied textures, the current ones are from sketchup.
Any tips on kerkythea settings? -
AWESOME tanks dude, AWESOME
-
Some renders from last months. Still learning Kerkythea and texturing.
Challenger II late sunset render.
King Tiger.
King tiger textured (metropolis light transport, not more than 6 passes)
King Tiger - photon map
KV-1
T-34 scene WIP. this is a scene with 2 t34 tanks. the tanks are low poly SKETCHYPHYSICS tanks i've done some time ago. I got them to ride over some bricks and then i started modeling the destroyed buildings.
Panther tank
Panzer 4
-
i like the black and white graney render the best! good work
-
The panther render is most effective. If you squint at the picture, the camoflage pattern merges into the background extremely well.
Great modeling too!
-
I love the Panther pic!!!
But it looks to me that the background picture's scale is off and that makes the tank look smaller as it is...Still 9/10 render!
-
Awesome you set a very high standard of modeling and rendering well done
-
fantastic modeling, asx stated before amazing level of detail. Did you use just the standard sketchup tools or also any plugins? if so can you please tell me wich ones and for what tasks.
-
Amazing,Great job!
-
wow... fantastic detail... makes me want a game to put them in, like Battlefield 2...
-
After having a look at one of these tanks and trying out a render,I am very impressed with the level of detail here,perfect for renders,Although some have incorrect normal alignment wich needs to be adjusted
-
Very nice models. I always wanted to try making one on
the computer as I do build the plastic model kits sometimes.One thing tho about the Tiger II is the
Red Rrown you used looks like German ww2 red primer.
It's possible that they used that for camo in 44/45.What references are you using for colors?
-
I like Rudy 102 tank.
-
You make great tanks mate.
