SW4 Tank - help needed

[bhiita]

up? I put it next to the modern armour in my paint program and it looked ok.
and about the modifier, I should have one, I forgot that you told me to do that

I'm going to lift up after I set the proper children of the turret and bottom. haven't done that yet.

well....actually I have but I was unable to save........twice

 

[Piernik]

I mean lift whole vehicle up from the ground - it's hover tank

 

[bhiita]

I found an optimizer......how's this?
and I lifted the whole thing up, but I can't tell I'll have to edit that in 2d maybe.

 

[Piernik]

no 2D programs

I'm going out now, but when I'll come back I'll try to make also a preview and post you to compare with mine. With smoother it looks fine, but show me please its front, ok?

 

[bhiita]

no 2D programs

OK

the front......

 

[bhiita]

who thinks the turret needs to be bigger?

:edit: I meant the main cannon

Why did you delete the picture

:edit: not only that, I've messed up my camera too
I'm getting tired....

 

[bhiita]

For ease of comparing, I'll put the new redone barrel size here.

 

[Piernik]

I think it would be helpful... sorry that so late, but idea came right now

About the cannon - it's great

 

[bhiita]

I can't seem to get the shadows like yours.
But I think I finally got the light in the right place.

:edit: forgot to mention I lessened the bightness a little on all the lights and got rid of one. does it look better?

:another edit: question, is your cannon longer than mine? that might explain the difference in the shadow. (no silly comments from the onlookers pls)

 

[bhiita]

I'm getting to know my program playing with textures and thought it looked too good not to show you,

:edit: if anybody saw the original pic I forgot to change the rendering size. It was too small

:edit: changed it again

 

[Piernik]

great - I like it more and more

Your cannon looks good as well as its shadow
Just show me all angle together and start animation

 

[bhiita]

I changed the barrel to metal instead of plastic. Do you think I need to change it back? And how do you like the textures?
are they too dark?

 

[Piernik]

I liked more the previous one... or change contrast between white and dark spots. it's too high.

 

[bhiita]

I think your right, and don't wory I've got lots of room on my 2 hardrives, so I'm saveing before I make major changes.

 

[Piernik]

You can add some noise, but not in such high contrast
