Newbie 3D tank

Crono · #1 05-30-2004, 06:12 PM

I was just making this for practice because I have not used lightwave since 2002 and even then I sucked like I do today.

Anywho, tell me how to improve on this and if the rating is over 2/10 rate it :P

(Not done yet, will finish later)

Don't make it so square-ish...

I have a plugin that rounds off cornerings pretty well. Problem is, I have no clue how to use it o_o

Edit-

Updated the tank. Gave it a main cannon, two mini cannons next to that, big square thingy and that disc sticking out of the box which is supposed to be the entrance.

I know the tank sucks but it's supposed to be a basic practice thingy for me and I just want comments as I go on :X!

I like it, it's creative.

Though I kinda liked it more without the main cannon, but it's fine either way.

It's good for a start I guess.

add-more-polygons-argh

it's rather boxy, but it looks cool, maybe make a skin for it? :O

Crono · #11 05-31-2004, 06:24 PM

Hehe I'm working on un-boxing it. I'm new to textures/skins so it'll take me a while @_@; That is, of course, once I figure out how to use lightwave's skin/texture tool.

Paint the newbie head on the sides as symbol

Crono · #13 05-31-2004, 06:49 PM

Haha, this tank is actually ANTI newbie. I called it the Graalian Liberator because it blows the newbies away. Graal's hero. I was actually planning on doing an animated scene with this, I remember a bit from my 1 semester of computer animation class. :X

did you make polygons from scratch or did you use preset cubes and stuff? I like it it look pretty cool.

Crono · #15 06-01-2004, 09:31 PM

It's all from boxes I put myself. I dragged points, beveled, cut, etc.
