Subdivisions? Smoothing groups? What?

Render:

EDIT: 7928 polygons! This is where I stop. No further detailing will be added. Really this time!

You should save the top as a seperate model so it can be used with the scorpion. Then just move the bone until its in the right spot on the chassis.

The scorpion's turret isn't a separate model. Also, I grouped the turret separately from the base, and every part that's supposed to move is separate from the other parts. What do you mean by bones? Does that have to do with rigging? I have no clue how to rig stuff in Wings, and I don't even know if it's possible in Wings. I need to find someone to rig it for me.

EDIT: Changed some stuff and reduced polygons a bit in some places. Wheels are slightly larger, and the rims are slightly thinner.

One whole of five dollars is five dollars. If I get this ingame, you owe me five dollars, as promised. And that is, IF I can get someone to rig it, someone to UV it, and someone to get it ingame. Also, compare the Scorpion's 1910 polygons to my Abrams' 7928. Lag, mb?
Osama, this is not a remodel. I did it from scratch

I have another question, what's up with the missing faces and blue polygons on extracted Halo models?

Nah, shouldn't be too bad. Make some LOD models... decreases polycount the further away it is, so that if you can only just see it, Halo won't render every detail (as you won't see them).

Also smooth the rounded faces, it gets rid of the jaggedness.

Won't that add more polygons? I don't want more polygons.

Not unless you meshsmooth.

Don't know what that is, but I've been told that setting edges to "soft" in Wings will do the trick.

PM me the model (3DS or OBJ preferrably), and I can get you a good quality UV unwrap that you can texture over.

Explosive American · Post by **Explosive American** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 3:07 pm

Will do. I'm just going to make some finishing touches.

Explosive American · Post by **Explosive American** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 6:43 pm

Must...stop...updating!

Awesome. =P

(I also played some GRAW today, it's the same tank.)

Explosive American · Post by **Explosive American** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 9:10 pm

And, how far in the future is that supposed to be? Why would they still be using that tank?

=Hunter= · Post by **=Hunter=** » Tue Sep 12, 2006 12:09 am

SMOOTHING... >_>

Explosive American · Post by **Explosive American** » Tue Sep 12, 2006 6:28 am

I tried setting edges to soft. It didn't do anything for the render.
