Here's an M1A1 tank I built for a map I'm working on. Couldn't find a good low poly one so i built it myself. Not the best work but I'm proud of it so far. Going to have the son in law help me with the texturing I think.

I'm working on the textures now. I had to figure out all the AO and rendermapping which was a real treat.
I hopefully will have it done soon and it get it uploaded so everyone can use it if they want.

The mesh looks good except the square bit on the right looks a bit weird from this angle.

If all goes well with the texturing this'll come out a treat. smiley

That would be the engine housing methinks. If I recall it's supposed to be that way.

It's not exactly to scale as an abrams, but I needed one so I got it as close as I could with my meager modeling skills. smiley
I figured to get it close but keep the polys down.

The only thing that puppy needs is a cool "Killroy" pic.

Some more pics with better textures. Just adding all the little goodies to them. They're not all done but it's coming along.



I hope I get it out soon.

Looking good. Are you going to grunge it up and bake light/shadows onto it?

Pretty soon you're gonna have to decide what terrain your model is gonna represent.. Or have multiple versions perhaps.

Jungle or desert.. Winter or summer.

You'll bee needin some netting/camo net.
Also, some sand bags wouldn't hurt around that 50 cal.

BTW, it was my job to disable those guys. I was an Combat Engineer in the 80's. smiley

I'm going to add some grunge and such, it's pushing 14k polys so don't know how much more I can add, not sure what the engine limit is but not much more I think even for a static prop.
I have an AO texture on it now, gonna have the son in law help me with the rest.
Texture wise I was thinking of having the desert sand one like is on it and maybe a winter one. Aw, hell I'll make a jungle one too.
That's cool Orph, fortunately or not I never got to serve in military. I got drafted during the Vietnam war but they wouldn't take me because I'm the last of my line (no male siblings or children). They wouldn't even let me join, which I still haven't figured out why. smiley

I understand why they wouldn't send you into combat but there are just to many non-combat positions you could have honorably held.

Their loss.

Just a thought. You might sacrifice the 50 and the hand rail for some sand bags and camo. It would look a bit more war realistic perhaps if you are so short on resource adding.

It was probably paranoia on their part due to the era of the war and things going on. I don't know. I had my only male cousin die earlier in the war maybe that was why, I was ready to join even if I couldn't see combat. This was back in '72.
I actually had an officer and nco come to our house and see me and they told me they wouldn't take me no matter what.
I have also lost quite a few family members in WWII and Korean wars so...
they were probably pretty leary of ending a family tree back then I guess.

I will add some more goodies and try to keep the polys low on them, maybe I can squeak by with it. I planned on using this in L4d2, more of an urban setting but I'll see what I can do.
