Re: Reworking the tank
thor, this last render is really great.
If you don't mind, please could you share the way you're UV mapping such a model with such an amount of polygons ? It usually takes me a LOT of time to UV map 3D models, in order to have them textured the best way ... (needless to say that it is boring most of the time). How did you proceed with this one ? I guess you've UV mapped all the important surfaces (the most visible ones) and maybe collapsed the others onto a single color point of the texture / material ... ? How many textures (or textures maps) do you use for this model ? TIA.

Like the main body are maped four ways. its top, side and front and back. This is done in the TCE. Also the armor plates are individual objects so I can if I like, add more details/texture. Now, I havent done any mapping on most of the smaller details.Like the whinch. Its just the default mapping and because the original shape is modified you get a variation in the mapping. I didnt need to alter that because of the distance to the camera when rendering is to far to see the difference. This is mapped with the uv mapper plugin. I have used it on many of the details because it gives a nice resoult. This is mapped cylindrical first, and then modified in the TCE on the top and bottom. Just select the surfaces you want to mod and then set the mapping you want. I used the remap and top on the top and bottom armor in the TCE on this. Just ask if something is unclear . I'm no guru on this,but its how I do it.

Re: Reworking the tank
Thank you very much thor !
All is clear for me. It's always good to see how other people work with their 3D models. There's always something to learn even from non guru persons Thanks !

Re: Reworking the tank
Trying out some enviroment to put the tank in. The debrie rectangles multiplyed with the greeble plugin. Very usefull. And the buliding are made with the draw mesh option, and then textured.

Re: Reworking the tank
That's a really great scene. I do have one question, though. Where are all the bricks from? Haha, other than that, it's awesome!

Re: Reworking the tank
Haha yeah, I know. It's just funny how pristine the brickwork is in the visible parts and then there's all this rubble and shattered glass.
