German Flak 88mm cannon - Military-Meshes.com

Given that the forums have been reborn, I felt it fitting to re-enter my post here to keep people updated on my modeling progress. Hopefully many people remember this model, and now that I've graduated I hope to be able to update it much more often. I finished the left side of the model now, which is the easier of the two sides. There's also a quick texturing test just so I don't get bored looking at a white model all the time.

Ah yes, I remember this from before. Excellent detailing! Looking forward to seeing this one completed - the texture test looks good too!

hey phobos by any chance are you willing to share your references ?

i've been wanting to do this one for my GZ scene to place some on the dock

@Archetype: Of course! Send me a private message with your e-mail and I'll send you a zip file with everything I've got.

@Skyraider3D: Yeah, that's one of the downfalls of exporting from Modo to Maya so I can render the model. Modo 201 is due out anytime now so once I get that I'll be able to do some real renders with the original SubD model, which I am very excited about. Trust me that the original model is almost entirely SubD pieces, so it's very very smooth.

@cobra6: Not at all. Thank you!

@Lukem: Many of the reference pics I have show the model as being 100% camoflauged, but others show it as just a flat beige color. I haven't yet figured out how I'm going to texture the final piece. Ideas are always welcome.

Thanks everyone! More to come soon!

excellent detail, i will be checking up on this one to see the texturing

Skyraider3D · 05-23-2006, 11:21 AM

Awesome model! But don't forget to fix your smoothing groups as there are still a lot of segmented items there!
As for the camo... hmm...

Hope you dont mind!

Needs some work on the texture, some damage, and its to gold ^_^

Very KEWL !

Fantastic modelling!

Where is your 88 based then? I thought most of them were painted grey.
