M4A1E8 Sherman tank

Hi
This is my first fully textured model. It is low detail model.
Im quite new to rendering and i have still alot to learn so these pictures dont look the best.

Nice work, especially weathering!
Now this must be a modification with a 17 pounder gun?

Thx and it has 76mm T3 (17 pounder i quess)

Oops, sorry, it has US markings, so it´s unlikely it would be a British 17 pounder.
Nevertheless, nice model indeed. How big is the file size?

[CoreMaster]

well the model itself is 750kb but with the textures its over 26mb

Pretty cool model, CoreMaster.

I am quite impressed by the textures. Did you actually do the textures inside Sketchup?...no photoshop postwork?

Best,

Beautiful model very well done, one question, the trax did you model them or is the detail done with a texture, the ageing and especially the rust and decay is a master stroke very well done thanks for sharing

I am also curious about the texturing process.
But 26 Mb...

Yes i textured whole model inside sketchup and i did use photoshop only for croping some of the photos.

I used photos from model tank tracks. They were allready painted and all... so it was quite easy.

yeah i also thought that its alot but i used 20 different textures and most of them were around 2mb...
