You know, you can zoom in on the detail. There's no rule that says stop at the barrel and airial's edge.;)
Making good progress.

[kevjon]

Really impressive Karras. Great job.

[krazycolin]

nice stuff.... when are you going to texture it?

[Karras]

When I found that colour type have actually thoses tanks, because I see some pictures of them with camouflage, when the Italian Army haven't any type of camo, like the Spanish Army

[Lukem]

Really nice modelling - can't wait to see it textured.:)

[Spinner]

That bush-saw, around the mallet, should have very visable rip teeth, shouldn't it? Maybe it has some sort of blade cover?

[Karras]

the leaf is hides herself with mantel by the support .
See this, originally is one little more complicated, but the mine is more simple :-)

[Art 111]

Nice (3x!)

[Spinner]

Looking good.
I prefer the cable wire in this pic to the browner look in the earlier pics.

[Karras]

Hey folks, I reopen this old post, because, I'm ready for texture my tanks, this is the first.
I want make this new italian camouflage :lol: :lol:

[Karras]

First probes with the tones ;)

[julnyapp]

Hola Karass, como estas? Great work on the model and the camo!
Keep going. Hope to see it fully textured.

[Skyraider3D]

Looking good. Some advice on the colours:
- The dark colour needs to be desaturated. It looks dark green now, while on the real thing it looks dark grey;
- The brown colour needs a bit more saturation;
- The light green colour is almost perfect, but a little bit too blue. Shift the hue a few units to the left and it's spot on.

[Lukem]

Nice work mate!

Julnyapp: If he's as quick with texturing as he is with modelling, your wish should be granted sometime over the weekend!:lol:

[Karras]

Je,je,je but not, the texture work it's more hard. The basic texture yes. But the rest , still not.
Ronnie, I change it the tones, now more DarkGrey. Thank you. It's the newly paint in the garage :lol: :lol:

[Lukem]

The colours look pretty close to me (based on your photograph).

What does 'Je' mean? I've wondered this for a while....:D

[Karras]

A little dust on
Lukem I don't understand you "Je" my dictionay spanish-english don't translate it :lol: :lol: :lol:
Other update, little, because I go step a little step.

[Lukem]

Looking good mate!

Is this 3DS in to Photoshop work, or have you got Bodypaint? If you haven't then that is pretty amazing work.

[Karras]

No Lukem, I made it in PhotoShop I don't use BP, but never is too late :D

[Karras]

Hey another little update,
Two probes, the first with the final textura but without bump , the second a detail of bump map to 50%, maybe too bump, about 20-30 will be better. Now the speculars and maybe for the cannon I will made it a camouflage net :lol:

[Lukem]

Love the boot prints!

[Karras]

One view with the untextured parts &
Making probes for modern camouflage net for the gun :lol: :lol:
Very basic, basic but basic :rolleyes:
I'm still probing with other maps, but it's going right.
Va viento en popa ( Spanish Lenguage coloquial expression ) :lol:

[Karras]

Making the Net Camo :eek:

[cobra6]

Lol youve got to love cloth simulation ^_^

Cobra 6

[Karras]

Fast render with full textured :rolleyes:
Still without speculars maps and only with a simple E-Light set and User View

[Skyraider3D]

Looks fantastic!

Now let's see that camo netting in action! ;)

[Karras]

I will made it with the tutorial of Pioner , because with opacity maps i don't like very much. :rolleyes:

Here the bad probe with opacity map :lol: :lol:

[Karras]

Another bad probe with opacity, the next i will with PolyBoost in MAX 8.
