German Tiger Tank

[Lz]

Watching all the D-Day docs on TV compelled me to build a tank, and so I eventually chose the German Tiger. Built in SU, Rendered in Mental Ray.

Great models and renders, Lengyel.

So you did the old train and this tank in one day, without plugins?

Cheers!

Nice renders!

Nice model, not quite a zimmerit coat but a good texture finish.

Thanks Ken. they took me a couple of weeks to build. The tank + the scene render needed some plugins, such as draw on surface and Artisan for the terrain.

noticed they had a rugged appearance but didn't know these tanks used a special coating. thanks for pointing it out.

You are most welcome, there were some variations on this finish which was stopped in about august of 1944 I think, Henschell and Krupp were both building the tanks. I will add a few jpg if you want to give them a go as bump maps.

Beautiful mode and renders!
Much better than my scribble
Maybe one fine day I attain this level of modeling !?

Thanks. Mental Ray did most of the work here. It's easy to use.
