Civil War Cannon & Steam Loco
-
Hello. I made a couple of new models.
This cannon was more of a speed test for me (built it in a single weekend; 1 day for the geometry / 1 for the renders). The steam loco took several weeks (it's roughly ten times more complex than the cannon), but it came out nicely in the end. I designed the locomotive myself.
A couple of plugins were used, especially for chamfering edges (an excellent plugin, but I forgot its name).
Everything was built in sketchup of course (rendered with Mental Ray) , and I tried to make the geometry / renders as clean as I could. The hardest part for the cannon was building the chains actually... either way here are my models:

As always brilliant modelling
The "pitting/shrapnel is a little heavy IMHOJohn
-
Wow! Impressive!
-
You should put those cannons on a cargo car and couple it with the train...
-
Fargin nice work!
I agree the cast iron texture seems a bit heavy - you need to scale the texture (bump) maps and corresponding material images down inside MentalRay.
The Steam Engine tells me you have WAYYYY too much time on your hands

Beautiful models and renders, Lengyel.
I look forward to seeing more.
Cheers!

Beautiful and inspirational.

Fantastic work.
Those renderings look like photos of intricate models. -
Yes the renderings look like photos of fine models. That engine exudes character. Fine design and as always mind-boggling modeling skill and tenacity. Thank you for sharing these images with us!

You are a master sketchupper (is that a word?) sketcherupper? Well, you get my gist.
Your attention to detail is second to none.
I know what you mean about chains being difficult. It's hard to get them to drape realistically sometimes. But yours look great.
Well done -
Very surprised to find out that my model made it on the home page of cgtrader as of yesterday 
That's something I really wasn't expecting http://www.cgtrader.com/Thanks for the feedback guys
