Quad Gun Tractor

Thought I'd make something different.
Took 3 hours to model, 2 hours to texture.

Any C&C's welcome.

Very cuty for a new "Hummer"

[solo]

I like the cartoon/ comic feel to it, good texturing.

[zumo]

it reminds me of the gorillas video (kids with guns)

Excellent form, I like the front-end especially. Perhaps you could embellish it with some extra surface detail such as aerials and hand-holds etc.

Check this tank thread from shareck: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=17329&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=tank

Cool model.
How did you get that cartoony render?

[marked001]

this is awesome... definitely not what i was expecting when i clicked....haha...love the line overlay images..

[steelers05]

very cool presentation style

Hi all, thought I'd put my latest model on this thread as it's along the same lines.

This is a Dingo Scout Car from WW2. I have a couple textured and a few skinned.

These would look cool in a game engine what method did you use for UV mapping them?

[spider74]

that is class!!

This is good, I like those texture, how did You make it?

[Crazy Eyes]

Hi all, thanks for your comments.

The procedure for making these models is quite simple really.
I start by making the model as you can see in the first two Dingo pic and texture them accordingly.

1. Take snapshots of the top and sides and anything else that I need to texture.
2. Use a paint program (I use PSP) and use darken to creat shaddow and darker areas.
3. Put the new textures together into a single image file and import the image in to scale.
4. Apply the new textures onto the model.
5. Render the model for real shading.

Hope this helps

that pretty cool, its too bad UV can't be mapped to use texture space a little more efficiently. Other than that good work Could use a little bit of dirtying up since its a military vehicle IMO

thats a great process....thanks for sharing that.

...Quite a while ago, I once tried modeling a ferret scout car, but it really wasn't detailed or accurate at all. As usual, I was mostly just playin' around. http://sketchup.google.com:80/3dwarehouse/download?mid=1e2cfd36c3093f7544eb8c14f291fa5b&rtyp=s6&fn=ferret2&ctyp=sm&ts=1221944567000

I might try my luck again sometime, but I'd need some decent blueprints.

nice ....love the military feel.....nice tuts on the process....too bad im still a noob on applying materials and rendering

[Crazy Eyes]

Thanks again all for your C&C's.

@oalexis
It was my first attempt at UV mapping, so hopefully it gets better next time.

@•BTM
Thanks for sharing, it would be easy to map the ferret

@MikeR
Here is a basic tut on how to texture from the 3DWarehouse

Here is my next project.

Is this Osprey?

Thanks for noticing, yes it it the Bell/Boeing V-22 Osprey.
It's not totally accurate because I've only modelled it off pictures because I couldn't find any better resource.
