Unit Preview: Futuristic Tank (Scorpion from Halo)

[Grey Fox]

Work in progress.

This is a No texture rendering.
The final model will be more detailed and Textured.

This is how the original look (NOT made by me!)

Looks nice ... i´ve never played Halo ( Shame about me *lol* )

Go on ... it will be a great Unit ( Expansional Unit ) for Civ 3

Mfg, DaRealStinger

PS. "WEITERMACHEN"

Woh! Now that's good! Another tank to add to the collection!

very nice, although I think in your pre-rendered model you need to make the gun a bit 'meatier'. I know it's roughly to scale with the other image you posted, I just think it needs to look more like it could really do some damage.

Yes I know it looks pretty thin. I will thicken it. Or did you mean anything else?

Veewey good Grey Fox...think U can make a Metal Gear after this

 

[Kinboat]

Yeah I think the barrel could be a bit bigger around... If only because it won't show up in a smaller rendered image Good modeling though.

Well in all fairness it is only a 90mm gun. HALO is all that my buddies and I do in the dorm. I am not too proud to admit that we kick ass too. If anyone has been beaten by a XBOX called MOR on gamespy, it's us.

yep - thicken it. You might also want to add some targeting or recon equipment

very nice! Ive never played halo either, but it looks good. I keep meaning to get around to making a futuristic unit, Ive got all my designs on paper, but Ive not had time to make it in to a model yet, maybe I'll tyy it soon.

Here is the latest update:

This is my progress so far.

I think I will add some kind of targeting or recon equipment like Zulu suggested, although what would that look like? Anyone that has any screenshots on current equipment?

I might soften up some edges on some parts of the tank, but I don't think that will be needed as the animation will be much smaller in size.

What do you think of the Civ Coloring? I don't really like the placement, where should it fit best?

Any thing you miss, anything you think is uncool, any faults at all... give me critique.

Come up with ideas, anything to improve the model before I animate it.

Here is a Screen from all angles aswell:

looks really cool, my roommate plays alot of halo, and I was thinking of making the unit myself, but since you're doing it..... more power to you. I wouldn't be too concerned about color placement. However, since it will be smaller once finished, I would make the texture more dramatic.

 

[nonnob3]

VERY VERY COOL
Herr MAJOR!!!!!!

 

[kemal69]

Very cool...

Now run little spearman...

... trying to put some camo on, Yes

 

[Civanator]

oops, double post, sorry.

 

[Civanator]

Wow, that has come a long way since you showed me in the chatroom one day a little while back. Keep up the good work, and isn't this your first unit? It looks nice, but i bet my little mercenary hoplite can beat it. (well maybe a couple hundred thousand, but isn't that the way the AI does it?)

 

[Vdog]

My god i love this unit!!!
