I could use some beta testing by a couple of the moderators here

I have decided to realese one of the tanks I made some time ago. But I had some trouble getting it into Bryce. I tryed everything but the 3ds file just wouldent look right. The parts was all over the place. But it worked just fine in Carrara for some reason. Then I remembered that Bryce has a stupid limit of how many objects one 3ds file can have. So I merged the tracks and some other parts to get the object count lower. So now it looks like it imports ok. But I would like some other opinion as well. Have someone time and interest in testing it in Bryce?

You have a real modeling eye for these intricate details... If you like I can run it thru 6.1 and see how it goes... maybe into Daz Studio as well...

Thank you man. I sent you a sitemail with the link. I have to make sure it works ok in Bryce with the trouble I had with it. Its fairly complex in details. Close to 500 object now :)

Damn thats a sweet tank!!! You got talent!!!

I've got systems with a range of 512MB to 3GB of RAM with Single and Dual Coresthat I can test on if that is what you're after.

I tested the tank in B6.1 and it loaded a little slow but came in just fine... I walk around the tank to smooth out the cylinders objects,,, and gave it this quick hdr.. The image is a little dark and towards the blue green spectrum... small size...640 x 480.. and normal anti aliasing,, I also did a few regular renders without hdr... I will try Studio... later....

It work fine...

Excellent modeling!
You're going to post this as a .3ds file?
If so might want to add a blip that Mac Bryce 6.1 doesn't import .3ds files at all. For Mac users the best way to go is to import it into 5.5 and save the scene file or export as an .OBP format. Both load into Mac 6.1 (at least they do for me!).

It works in Studio.. I did not furnish a render but it handles just fine in Studio.. I'll try Poser if you like....

originalmoron ( ) posted Thu, 31 July 2008 at 1:20 PM

Sound great Tom. Poser? Do anyone use that little known proggy? Hehehe. I'm funny :)

Well Dan, I was thinking about making it as obj file. The 3ds is 13mb big. The obj was 68mb big. So it stayed as a thought :)

Image 1 : single GI dome, plain enviroment.

Image 2: IBL, 1 GI dome, Plain using Agentsmiths Granite texture for that Cammo look.

Image 3: 2 GI domes, No IBL, Reflective floor mat.

Fantastic Model, A tiny bit heavy with parts because Bryce turned the 3DS obj to boxes. Easy enough to move around in the scene. A charm to render in a simple enviroment, and as expected: more time consuming in a detailed backdrop.

Outstanding work Thor.

I gotta say, you do do some sweet modelling OM! ...if you want anyone to try it in Cinema.

Stupendous ! ! I'm still trying to figure out how to mount a turret like yours atop my Subaru to keep the bad drivers here in Fresno at bay . . . I imagine it'd reduce the gas mileage a bit though to say nothing of flattening the tires.

CrazyDawg ( ) posted Fri, 01 August 2008 at 12:00 AM

originalmoron, if no ones tested it in bryce 5.5 i can give it a try for you...got time on my hands at the moment.

And yes like others have stated this is one fine model, don't see many nice looking tanks around....infact the ones i have seen are hmmm boring to look at

I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.

wildman2 ( ) posted Fri, 01 August 2008 at 12:56 AM

I can test it in bryce 5.01 and Cinema 4D

"Reinstall Windows" is NOT a troubleshooting step.

originalmoron ( ) posted Fri, 01 August 2008 at 1:57 AM

Thanks for your interest guys. My main interest was to check Bryce, cos the importers there are a bit .... shady compared to, say Carrara, but it looks like the model imports ok now. So I will realese it to the public very soon.
