Egyptian IS-3M: preview and plea for help

utahjazz7 · Nov 7, 2002

Hello. I built a 3D tank model using "Rhinoceros 2.0 Evaluation." I know it's not perfect, but it "works for me." The tank is an Egyptian flavor unit for the standard "tank" unit. It's the IS-3M. As far as I can tell, this tank was first designed as the IS-3 in the Soviet Union sometime around the end of World War II. Eventually, variants were produced in other countries, like Egypt producing the IS-3M. If I'm mistaken, well . . . I don't know what.

Well, I have built the model, but I flat-out cannot do the animation. If someone were willing to create the animation for it, I could send you my original "Rhinoceros" file. Even with the help of the tutorials, I can't align the model directionally correctly. Plus, I couldn't animate it once the directions were correct. Basically, after six or seven hours, I've gone as far as I can.

Anyway, if anyone is willing to help, let me know where to send or upload my file.

Thanks

These are images that I used to create my model.

That tank looks great. Go ahead and upload the file so that anyone wishing to convert can get started ASAP.

Great job

Well, here is my "rhinoceros" file, if anyone wants to help. "Vdog" or anyone else, feel free. I'd appreciate it.

The customized units that I find the most "CivIII realistic" and most appealing are "Boulboulgadol's" works with the Leclerc and Russian T90. Those were spectacular, and they represent the level of animation excellence that I would like to see this unit animated with. Thanks.

Looking good, looking very good. I would like to see this in my game. The more tanks the merrier i say!

Vdog · Nov 9, 2002

This is what I have done so far, not much but i was busy today;

utahjazz7 · Nov 9, 2002

That looks good, "Vdog." But in the bottom picture, is the tank flipped? It looks like the gun and antenna are on the wrong sides.

Vdog · Nov 9, 2002

Haha yes it is, i was hoping no one would notice, it was easyer that way but I'l fix it.

Ah, nothing more wonderful than the mirror option in paint shop, saves so much time :cool:

Those darn asymmetrical details will get you everytime. At least in the unit creation threads that I've read through, it seems like every tiny misplaced detail is brought to light at CivFanatics

The angle on the bottom pic (north east) seemed a bit off

Your right, it does look slightly out of perspective. Which is weird, since if you mirrored it they should both be....very odd.

Vdog · Nov 10, 2002

Yes that is odd. I slightley adjustded all the angles, how does the bottom one look?
