[3D] Marder Roland SAM Armor Unit

[Lilkiki]

Hi guys,

 

I've been working from scratch for some time on a Marder AA unit.

 

Why I've chosen this one ? Because it has easy shapes and DCS one is quite "old fashioned poly" (guess it comes directly from LockOn)

 

Here where I am actually, need a lot of work to finish it, (mesh, UVs, textures) may be one day I will release it as a mod ;)

 

 

A quick render :

Great, looks already fantastic!

 

I don't know if it will be drivable with CA...(hoping that you could add a somewhat detailed internal driver cockpit for it...man that is beyond awesomeness!)

Nice, but its already WIP by ED

here and here

Please go on anyway, nobody knows when ED will actually release it, maybe we can use yours until then. :)

[Lilkiki]

Glad you like it guys ;)

 

I've worked last night on the scaling, turret looks more accurate now.

 

Didn't know that ED had done a new one, a friend of mine told me the same thing yesterday.

 

Anyway, I started to work on this one to improve my 3D skills so I will go on...

 

Don't know how CA cockpits work actually, guess it is .lua scripting ;)

Looks good.

Hi Lilkiki,

 

it looks good so far. I am looking forward to the textured model.

Looks great so far Lilkiki...

Thanks guys, another quick render after some polys corrections (too much bump on the ground scene)

 

I will continue modeling adjustments next week-end and look for UVMapping.

UVMapping gives headhaches :tomato: (textures are WIP)

Renders without Specular Maps

Looks good

 

And yes UV Mapping can be a PITA....

Thanks Joey,

 

do you know how the specular shader is set in Max to get nice reflections as the "stock" DCS tanks ?

Nope.

Nice!

 

What program did you use to pose it in front of that building?

[Lilkiki]

Thanks guys for the specular tip ! =b

 

@leafer : it is full 3D render with MentalRay (Maya Student Edition : free)

[Lilkiki]

Need to texture the tracks now ;)

nice look,

I just started to learn 3dsmax, and am doing a Daryal radar station.
