I have been doing some re-construction of the Abrams Tank model so it is clean and optimized for the engine-

This is a color test- don't pay attention to the pattern it is still a wip-

The re-construction is finished as well as the UV mapping now the texturing is in progress- I want to get away from the desert paint and get back to the NATO woodland camo as our levels at first will revolve around woodland medium mountainous terrian at first-

The color seems fine to me- this test is basically in day time lighting- also there will be weathering and staining added also to give it a darker look by the time the texture is finished-



Lets here your thoughts-

Looks good.
It really amazes me on how you do this lol.

Thanks S^R-

I will be fine tuning the camo pattern and adding the weathering and stains soon-

I also did some tests with it, exporting it as a fbx file and then re-importing it in and checking it to see if it will appear normal- there was a few problems with some edges in the later version- Now it is clean-

yes it does. We will release some more images this weekend maybe.
Theres a small demo world in the sticky post.
We were testing hiw the tank moves around seems a bit glitchy if you hit something.

But gota start somewhere.

Just to be clear- this isn't a finished model for the Sim. The texturing is only 10% finished.

The desert Texture schema will be used in its proper theater-

What's up J? Any news for 2013? Hope you find this well.

Hey Trac,

Some of the stuff I will be tackling is mentioned here- http://www.simhq.com/_land3/land_140a.html in the middle.

But I have also been working on the actual ballistics of the rounds and if they penetrate armor or deflect. Which is explained here- viewtopic.php?f=15&t=91&start=110

I am excited about the progress I will be making this year though. Hopefully I can get in the zone again and get a lot done.
