Description

i know its another damn tank, i think im addicted. after this there`s only one more tank i really want to model and then that really is it, im going cold turkey, no more tanks. its a reasonably accurate recreation of a ww2 german panther tank, the interior is really basic for now as it was never meant to be seen close up (see the small dark render in the middle of the pic). I did concider modelling the zimmerit paste these things were covered with but that would have pushed the already high polycount well over 3 million so i`ll have to use bumpmaps for that instead. geometry wise theres only one thing i want to go back and change and thats the guide pins on the tracks are in the wrong position, apart from that i like it. the tracks are animated although with a polycount this high its unlikely i`ll ever use it in an animation of any serious length. +one slight screw up in these test renders, i accidentaly applied a bumpmap to the side skirts, dont know how i managed to do this without meaning to, it`ll be fixed when i texture it anyway. comments welcome...

Man, don't stop making tanks! I spent three years on one. You should do an M60A3. My ex home away from home. Great work! If you want some good Tank pics. go to my yahoo group Tankcrewman and I'll let you join. Great photos in there. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tankcrewman/
