Evaluation

I really liked my finished tank it took a long time and was very annoying at times but in the end it really worked out well. At first I really struggled with the program and Im not going to lie but I still do on certian things. The first thing I made was my house it was hard at times but turned out really well, The only problem was is that it wont open after several attempts of trying to get my house back we gave up and decided to start on the tank. The tank for me was a really good prodject but really difficult, in my personal opinion the program is very difficult to get used to. I think I could have done much better on my wheels and the body of the tank but it looks good as it is so i dont regret it. overall i really like my tank and im very happy with it even if it was hard and annoying at times but its a skill I have now learnt and i am happy with the skill.

Quick house

This house is not my lost one it is a house I made out of the spare of the moment just so I had some referance. It isnt great in fact it isnt even good. The image it just a image I took for my first house that I decided to put on this one too. This house hasnt got a road or a lampost or a bin like my first one but I thought it would be good if I did have something.

My house images

These was the images I used for my house. My house wouldnt open in 3d max after all the work I did on it I texture mapped it with the house above and added a wheelie bin and a street pol. It took many weeks to finish and when I finaly went to open it again it wouldnt open I have tried numarous amouts of things and even with the technitian not being able to get it back. This was a shame as I really did try hard on it and it was all for nothing.

Wheels

I personaly think that my wheels was the hardest thing to make it looks very simple at first glance but to actually make them is another thing. I have changed my wheel design quite alot as it wasnt right the first few times. I really think the wheels are a major part of the tank and the nuts were needed but I just couldnt get them right. the last things I did to my tank to fix them and adjust them was the smoothing faces this was easy and didnt take long and now it makes it look much better and more like really wheels. I am pleased with the wheels but I think it could have been better with more time.

Basket

This basket is fixed on to the back of the tank it was simple to make and is pretty effective to the tank it just adds somthing more to it which overall makes the tank look better.

Blueprint

This was the blueprint we used to create our tank. we added and bulit our tank around this image so first we started of with the body of the tank and we shaped and distorted a rectangle to make the bumps and lumps thats in the tank shape. We marked everything we made up to the same scale and position. This was very usefull and would be a great idea to use somthing like his again.

This box image is my dice it was the first ever thing I created on 3d max and was very easy to make. I really really liked this as it was very effective but helped me to get to grips with basic 3d max. I wish now I had done somthing more intresting but I still really like this.

This is my tank and how I built it step by step each thing was made seperate but I didnt no how and have time to print screen each individual image as i had to catch up alot because of my wok being deleted.

finished tank

This is my finished tank, I was very suprised how it turned out and happy with the overall outcome. I had lots of prolems with this maily because of it not opening and the computers just crashing all the time loosing my work. I must have had to start from scratch over 4 times becuase of it keep crashing so the outcome being so good was very pleasing .

My Mounted Guns

These images are the top mounted guns on my tank I added handles and some little parts to make it look better and not so bland. I made each of these parts and guns myself from scratch and was very time consuming the only major problem i had with these guns was the boolean on the right gun. I am quite happy with the way they turned out as 3d max is a nightmare to get used to.
