Just a random tank design. Throwing together elements of the halftrack, calliope and regular tank designs.

More to come!

Thanks man, I'm trying to put a bit more effort in hey. And this is going to be animated.

I already animated the tracks turning and the rocket launcher is rigged with IK to fold up/down on struts.

Looks awesome. Probably the best model we've seen from you. You've definately gotta finish this one and get it all nicely animated.

Animating/rigging those treads is a tricky business. Nice model so far. Look forward to the updates.

I used a PathDeform mod for the treads so is was quite easy to get them to turn, as long as they don't have to react with terrain that is, haha.

maybe a smaller weapon on the front there, you know something to defend against those pesky soldiers.

Those damn soldiers always get in the way. Trying to plant C4 on my tanks. Maybe the secondary weapon should be a Tesla Coil?

I remade the hydraulic pistons, and re-linked all the objects in my scene properly, so that I can have a hope of animating it when it comes time. Rigged the pistons up and they work like a charm, I am so glad.

I just love this one smile.gif The effort of detail that went into it is very nice. I love the tracks and the back top of it, it's very very eye-pleasing. you did a great job on modelling this beast. idea's? hmm, why not put a driver's hatch on the front where you peek out trough a 2cm hole in the metal [ evil laugh ]

Keep it up!

Are you using anything as reference or inspiration? I like the Tesla coil idea, like a big bug zapper!
I can't wait to see this thing crushing daisies and striking terror into the hearts of all that behold it's awful might! Can I drive!!!
As always I am inspired by your work, keep it up.

hahaha maybe it can come crushing through my peaceful dandelion hill scene.

I have a couple of random tank blueprints, thats where I got the exhaust system from. The rocket packs are based off of packs I used on a mech I made about 3 years ago.

I'll probably make the secondary weapon a set of 30cals, one on each side of that top front bit and put a hatch in the middle.

My animation plans are like this:

city scene, have it roll around the corner
extend the rocket packs to active firing position
launch a few rounds into a building which explodes and collapses
