Panzer 38t

[Stillmore]

Here is one I finished but never textured. Some of you long time users may remember it. It's a czech built german tank circa 1941. If I can get my old v8.5 of A.M. to run again (see post at Animation Master forum) I'll put the paint to it.

Holy crud

 

A. How did you do the big tires (duplication wizard, sweeper, etc.)

B. What about all of the bolts

C. Post wireframe view

D. how many patches?

[Stillmore]

The road wheels and tires were copied and pasted, the bolts and rivets were modeled and placed on the model. The rivets were done according to Rodger Reynolds 4 patch idea. Many of the parts were done using the Font / AI wiz. The patch count is a heck of a lot. The track links are individually modeled etc. I can give you a number and a wire frame when I get my old version to run. I'm having a bit of difficulty with that right now. Here is a view from the rear right quarter.

Most impressive!

Very, very nice modeling. Can we see wireframes? I would like to see how you layed them out. Nice job! Can't wait for the textures to be added...

VERY nice detail and modeling!

[apprentice]

Yum, that's a delicious heap of patches man. Great job on the modeling. Wow.

Holy crappazoid O_o

 

thats...thats....awsome.....

[GAngus]

Yipes....

great detail...

Must have been rivited to the screen for weeks with this one.... (couldn't resist)

Just fantastic....

[Kamikaze]

Very cool...My I guess? the rivets are modeled? if not..fooled me.....Yes I wanna see it textured, looking forward to more,

Thanks all.

 

I built this about 3 or 4 years ago and never textured it. Found the right CD to run AM, so look for updates soon.

 

Kamikaze: The rivets are modeled. No maps or materials yet.

Holy crap . . . That looks really good!

 

The patch count must be over 30,000 . . . am i right.

 

If my robot is just under 26.000 that must be ATLEAST that much

 

are we going to see any animation?

[Rodney]

Wow... I missed this post.

 

As has been said already... great modeling detail.

 

I love those diaramas from the scale modeling magazines.

That's what your model really makes me think of.

Here's hoping that you have something like that (a diarama) planned for this one.

 

Bravo!

[Stillmore]

bentothemax: The model is split into 6 pieces that are combined in the choreography.

 

Tracks: left and right, 41,943 patches each.

 

Suspension: left and right, 15,000 patches each.

 

Hull: 15,816 patches

 

Turret: 4,336 patches

 

I think thats 124,038 in all.

 

I can omit some interior walls that are in there. I modeled it so I could make the Marder self propelled gun that the Germans also built on this chasis. In fact there are about 6 or 8 vehicles that were all built on this platform.

 

Rodney: I started in scale modeling. I have kicked around that idea. We'll see.

[Stillmore]

Heres a wire frame grab of the hull portion of the model. Most of the parts are modeled and assembled individually. They were mostly done using Howard Trickey's AI / Font wiz.

Was that 3 or 4 years ago! It feels like about 6 months to me. Still looks great. Can't wait to see the updates.
