Description Hello hello!!

I changed the wheels & tires. I bent the antenna and got rid of the WWII looking support cannons. The cannons were bothering me and I wanted a bouncier looking wheel/tire combo.

+Plus+

RENDER PACK of 10 images. .PNG format 1024x1024.
Press the download button for the zip file.

And..

Do not expect much from me in the near future. I have got a lot of freelance work to do & I just joined a new company. I am now working for a company that will help me realize models in real life. Anybody like model kits?? HAha!! Just wait.

I have other work going on too so I'm busy as hell but I'll try and get this thing textured soon. In between work somehow.

Mike

I love that movie. People think I'm crazy but there is nothing like that movie. The roach scene, the perfect setting and the actors were great! The vehicle "Ark2" was one of my favorites when I was a kid and I do guarantee you that some of that design is in this vehicle!! Good eye!!

looking great man. you should add more detail on the inner part of the missile pod. they usually don't bother covering up thet are barely accessible to enemy fire

no not on the launcher. below the launcher. the inner parts that get exposed when the launcher rises look too bland

TDBK In reply to jackmcslay [2007-08-15 18:31:47 +0000 UTC]

I know. I had multiple people ask me why there was no protection in front of the launcher. That is why I put it there and then I kinda' liked it. I'm not too sure what other type of details should be on the launcher? Any ideas??

Ah man its looking great.
I do have some crit tho.
(and you probly already know.)
I like the addition of the missile stack in the rear.
but it lacks the cool detail the rest of the chassis has.
and the idea of model kits sounds most interesting

Thanks man!!

What kind of details do you think would look nice on the launcher? I had to keep it down back there because of the hydrolic stuff. I'm not sure what else to put on it. Have any ideas?

Terame [2007-08-13 02:28:47 +0000 UTC]

LeopoldGarrity [2007-08-12 15:49:59 +0000 UTC]

and idea on the textureing, since shes already white, go for some kinda snow tiger pattern, like the er.. germans? used for winter warfare perhaps, with a big Bandit King unit patch ;D, that would be a interesting unit to be in lol, with how many people on here do mechs and military vehicles, god.. wed be some scary bastids.

TDBK In reply to LeopoldGarrity [2007-08-13 00:04:09 +0000 UTC]

Snow tiger pattern sounds interesting. I was thinking a more traditional camo pattern but snow camo may be cooler! Thanks! BTW, I'll be changing the wheels and tires again!! lolz!

AceDarkfire [2007-08-11 23:05:32 +0000 UTC]

I prefer the old wheels... at least as far as the "hub cap" deal on them.

I would probably change the traction style as well, looking at these wheels, if it were on a slope, it would slide to the side easily.
Something like the style of tread on this:
[link] roduct&roduct_id=24889&category_id=342

If gives side-side traction as well as universal forward and rearward traction.

It'll also add to the image of this being a Military vehicle.

TDBK In reply to AceDarkfire [2007-08-13 01:02:40 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I was going for a lower poly stylish approach. I am going to change them again though. Really, controlling the amount of air pressure in the tires is the key to traction. I know what you're saying though. I have some other comments about them so I'll rework them.

Goddamn emoticons. Completely fucks up that link, even does it when I just tried to html it.

Anyway, it doesn't do it to that link.

The tire-tread style I was suggesting was the:
600-16 Ford Script Military NDT

Wowee! This is looking fantastic Mike the wheels are looking gud, so is the detail and I like the cannons too . One question though, is this a personnel carrier or an all-out pwnage heavily armored vehicle?

TDBK In reply to P-tecker [2007-08-13 02:10:45 +0000 UTC]

It's a armored vehicle. It does have a pretty large crew and can hold more. I am going to do an APC version as well though.
