@jakeblended Thank you so much for the tip! I knew I wanted to check one more thing in 2.79b, but I completely forgot about it. I had to do some awkward compositing to achieve that result, this will save me a lot of trouble. 🙂

P.S. Colours in the first image (Final render) are just to make things more visible .

@theluthier

the good look is thanks of the subsurf magic 😀

But if you want to to see the real thing:

@jakeblended Thanks for the encouragement! The thing that worries me is I’ve never modeled a character in my life, nor have I ever taken a character course. Well, always a time for something new!

One day left for the rim and finishing.

[Aaron Rudderham]

At the risk of sounding like a complete idiot, a couple of days ago whilst editing a mesh I accidentally hit a button (or multiple) which caused this wireframe box to surround it. Doesn’t seem to be affecting anything but if someone could tell me what on earth it does or even how to get rid of it I’d appreciate it, thanks in advance.

@thecabbagedetective I’d look here:

@tbrbn Aha, you’re a lifesaver! Or a least a confusing annoyances saver, thanks for that!

[Matthew Ullrey]

@theluthier You sir have the “eyes of a hawk and the ears of a fox” for there was a slight wobble in the mesh of the rear fender. Here is the new and improved version. I love the Alt+S hotkey. It takes out all of the dings and dents. If it were so easy in the real world…

Funny how the reference photo has a dent in the same exact place. Ha ha.

@adsb2035 I can just imagine one of the “Vonn Bots” from the Animation Bootcamp driving this vehicle.

HOMEWORK SUBMISSION WEEK 2

Its just a work in progress. I’ve been struggling with it a lot. I’ll be trying to keep up with interior this week as well as trying to finish the exterior!

[Aaron Rudderham]

Ugh I’m sooooo close to being done I hope I can render it before the next stream. Seeing all your hard work come together is the best part.

@williamatics I’m not a military hardware expert, but from what I can tell, the hatches on these things seem to be pretty much EXACTLY the size for a human to fit into them:

That’s an M1 Abrams tank; going from the size of the hatches on your model, I would say it’s similar in size to an M1.  If that’s the case I think perhaps your grab-handles might be a little too thick.

For seeing outside the tank, the M1 has a few different things.  The commander’s machine-gun position (the sticky-uppy turret next to the main hatch) has these windows all the way around it for seeing out if that hatch must be closed:

And there’s also these periscopes:

The upper one is used by the gunner to aim the big gun, and the lower set is used by the driver.  The upper periscope has these armored doors that can be closed over it to protect it, but the lower ones I guess must just be made of really thick glass.

[William Miller]

@jakeblended Thank you!  I will make the necessary changes.

[William Miller]

@theluthier It has a bevel modifier.
