June Challenge - buco - Normal
 

Ok, here I am, as promised!
This time the sketch is not as good but I've my supa-tank printed in my mind :D
It's capable of very high speed in every terrain condition (I hope..)

Initial spline cage..

.. :)

Reminds me of the tank thing from star wars 2
the image is from starwars.com

this should be cool!!

good start buco

looks very cool buco, keep it up!! Im very happy to see more people entering this month, maybe we can work it up so Kevin can stop bugging us about how much better the Maya community is ;)

Come on Matt, Pigs will fly before Kevin stops bugging us all.

Thanks guys.. Here is an update of the 'SharkTank' :)

A close up..

Very ispiring (and obviously awesome). I didn't see this before but there is another image I saw browsing the web that inspired me. If I'll find it I'll post it :)

it has that retro look to it
I like it

Dae

Thanx, I'll post something new soon :)

Here is a render. The modelling part is quite finished; a lot of texturing to do..

will it have jaws pained on the side showing it pearly whites,
cool treads

dae:p

Yes, it's a shark-tank after all :p
BTW I've changed my mind about modeling; initially I tought to model the body as a single piece and cut out doors and alike with texturing but UV textures and subpatch are not as precise as I expected so I cutted out real geometry.. sob..

And here is the pieces all toghether.. :D

Hi buco!

Nice 'SharkTank' :) I just realized that we had the same inspiration (or sth like that) - Tha Shark :D

Best of luck :D .

Ciao!!

Thanx DybiosH :)
So your developing the 'marine' version and I'm going for the 'non marine-non aerial' one (can't remember the word :eek: ) :D
So, hopefully I've finished modeling and now I'll go for texturing..

Here's a 'radio-edit' :D :D

Nice images buco :) I like them both but the non 'Radio=City' version is verry moody:D I like it's mood. Besides I think it "F9's" faster :D

See You @ Finish

Started final render on 30/06/03 at 6:30 PM.. Still on 3rd AA pass.. aaaaaagh!!

I know that feeling, I started to render mine on friday and then on saturday it had only just finished the first segment so I had to terminate it, cant wait to see your final render.

Dae

Puff, pant.. Restarted at 22.15 with low AA and low resolution but here it is.. :D
I'll post better renders in the future..

BTW: I gave it a natural rocky half pipe to test its capibilities :D :D

A quick edit in Photoshop..

Ops :D

I like that little bronze cap on belly in the front. Are going to texture it, if you do, tell me, anyway great Shark Tank.

Dae

wow Man - it's really cool !!!
