Nice stuff zircher . What's the polycount?
The texture is good either; there's just one thing i think you should change; the red line around the bottom is a bit too flashy IMO and those barrels deserve a better texture.

I love your hover tank Nick(or Andy), very well made. The mechs would look cooler, and they would make more sense, if the legs were a bit longer. Either way though, they look fantastic.

When it comes to programing, I'm on fire!

990, one of the 'rules' was to keep it under a 1,000. You can blame the curved surfaces for jacking up the poly count on this one.

Noted. I've got some ideas bouncing around that I want to try out. So, I hope to create a second design later this week.

For clarity all the models you see in this thread are by Nick. Most of Banshee's models are Nicks.

I make a few things from time to time like the levels in Transfusion, the world in Extranjero, and I make the odd fantasy monster in the hope of one day working out how to animate properly.

I am to modelling what Nick is to programming: We know what we want; we know what it involves to make it happen; and we ask the brother to do it.


God created the world in 7 days, but we're still waiting for the patch.

Sounds like a good team dynamic. Back in the day, I used to provide 'technical support' for some of my brother's projects.

Well, 1200 is relative to how many units you plan to have running around at the same. If you're playing a FPS tank game like Tread Marks, that perfectly OK. Now, if you were trying to do a Command & Conquer tank rush, 1200 might be insanely high.

From Nick and Andy's comments, I gather that 1200 is for up close models with a dynamic LOD routine taking it down from there. That sounds very workable for battlefield game that is somewhere in between an FPS and an RTS.

My next project is going to be a turn based tactical combat game, I have the luxury of using as many polygons as I need. But, I still have to be realistic with my polygon budget. I'll probably use an aggressive fog of war model to cut down on the workload.

we do have an awsome lod system, we are also planning on having at least three of these units on screen with a landscape and other scenery models. what I have seen so far does look impressive. we have just got to turn it into a game now.

It will be a sort of mech simulator with a mission editor etc

How configurable? Say I wanted to create my own mechs and load them in? Not that I can animate worth beans, but will you all provide enough info for folks that want to make custom mechs? Perhaps some options for custom textures?
