Arjún , Mbt

[Karras]

My next project.
How many modern tanks without 3D model, know you ? :eek:
Sure that i made some of them :lol:
My list of nexts models
- Leopard 2E, Spanish Mbt
- K-9 Self-Propeller Howitzer, Korean
- Osorio, Brazilian Mbt project
- Maybe.... the Type-90 , Japaneese Mbt
- I Accept suggestions and references pictures :lol:

[Lukem]

I'm sure it's been done to death, but I'd like to see a high-poly T-72!

Does it have to be a modern tank Karras?

[pccdtk]

Could i suggest Merkava ?!!!

[Igitur]

:confused: Wow!

[Karras]

You can, but the T-72 there are a lot of models of the russians tanks and all derivations, Chineese included. Of Merkawa ,Robert I see , some very good models, and in my collect I have one , medium poly, but....
More suggestions.......
I catch more info about Leopard 2E, a lot of nears shoots:eek:
Of this tank can make it some variants, STRV-122, and Leopard 2A6 HEL....., also of Korean K-1 I can make the K-9 Howitzer.
Many tanks . No ?
Maybe a good M-1 Abrams ? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[pccdtk]

Maybe I'm exaggerated a litlle , but after those projects next logic step :
- animation and/or cutaways......

What do you think ?!!!

[Karras]

Animation ? :eek: :eek:

My meshes are big , I prefer make more 3D Models of Iron Material. :lol: :lol:
I spent my free time in my house with my three sons Jumping & shouting around of me & my PC , while I make tanks :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[pccdtk]

So, you prefer tanks cause a Freud subconscious desire for power , strength ( psychological )....I'm joking..!!!... You have a great family Inaki !!! Congrat....

[Karras]

Thanks Robert :lol:
I'm also want make trains & ships but...... still there are a lot of tanks ;)

With this tank , i haven't any reference picture, and nobody give any picture of it, but I'm building without good references, it's a hard work make it.
Today i make the wheels , but i don't know how many little wheels ( return wheels ) have this tank, i put three wheels. :lol: :lol:
For the suspension I have a very little picture and a scheme draw, :eek:
But for the rear of hull........ nothing,. nothing, nothing :confused:
If i finish this tank will be a miracle :lol: :lol: :lol:

The wheels

[Karras]

Wheel & Suspension Detail od Arjun , make thank to a 90x50 image :eek:

[scrimski]

Looks weird, but I think this is due the user view(gives me headaches).

What renderer do you use?

[Spinner]

Seen this pic?

[Karras]

scrimski, is the User view, without camera. Fast shoots with scanline :lol:
Thank Spinner, i haven't this picture.but if somebody know how many little wheels have the Arjun......:D please tell me.

[Lukem]

Nice update mate! I especially like the detail on the road wheels.

[Spinner]

You see three little wheels towards the front half but behind them its blanked by the panel. Thats why I showed that china pic, it shows the three visable.

[digiartist]

[Hitori Kyo]

[kiwi123]

Looking good !

[pccdtk]

Beautiful Inaki !!! How many polygons till now ?!!!

[Skyraider3D]

Superb modelling as always! Looking forward to the textures/scenes.

[Karras]

I'm waiting to finish the leopard for texture the Ariete, Arjun and Leopard.

[Karras]

Ready for receive the textures maps, mapped finish and adjust base colour finish :)

This modela will have a Indian common camouflage based in three tones, Sand base, Green & Dark Brown in fat lines. In some pictures , in shows , the paint have very shine, I don't like because it's like the hosuebold paint :lol: :lol: , I paint it with matte tone without smud and only some dust on . Maybe I put in some Camo net on the gun barrel, like a preservative je,je,je
"Make the war no the love"
Sorry for the delay Robert.
This tank have this polycount:
- 864,758 vertex
- 1,671,787 polys + the future camo net of barrel ( little polys ) :rolleyes:

[Lukem]

Excellent work mate! Looking forward to seeing the textures.

[Karras]

Here, two views :lol:

[Lukem]

Nice work mate! Is there a slight mismatch on the forward starboard side (towards the fender)?

Can't wait to see the weathering - I've got plenty of questions lined up for you at that point!:D

[Karras]

And this ? :lol:
Lukem,That is what you want to know?

[Lukem]

Very nice Karras! Um, why has it got a coke can on the back? Is it some kind of secret weapon, or are you trying to prove that the Arjun really will run on anything?:D

[Skyraider3D]

You made an ugly tank look good! ;)

Nice work mate!

[Karras]

je,je,je

Carry Coke and Beer " San Miguel " spanish beer because i can't found any Heineken Map :lol: for spend this Holidays.
Merry Christmas to everybody
Really I'm dirting a little the basic camouflage , but only a little ;)

[Karras]

By now this will be finally the scheme camo, now I go to texture the little things on the Tank, and the tracks.

[Skyraider3D]

V. nice. Merry Christmas to you too, mate :)

[pccdtk]

.....next logical step - an animation pls.!!! .....Looks great Inaki !!! Happy Christmas to you and to your familly !!!.....

[Karras]

Animation ? I'm not crazy, Robert :lol:
The last probe with the colours, now all it's textured yet. Now the speculars and search one good background for it. :rolleyes:
And the sample of the Red Flag of Indian Army on my tank

[Lukem]

Nice work mate! And a very happy christmas to you too.

[Karras]

Finally textured.

[Lukem]

That looks superb mate - I'd like to see a full resolution render, just to get rid of the 'jaggies' on the edges of the darker camo.

All of the staining etc. - is that all within the colour map?

[Karras]

Yes friend, all it's in the final map, but other map have the speculars ( dark greys spots difuminated ). It's a little dirty.:lol:
Haven't bump maps, except in plastic elements and the exhausts pipes.
I have made two integrations, choose the one that you like :rolleyes:
In 3D Gallery of course.
