For this semester the Assignment is to Model, texture and Present a game ready asset with no more than a 10K triangle count, As well as this it has to be modeled in a professional matter - So no Endgons or smoothing errors as such.
During this assigned we are also expected to gather are own reference images for modelling as well as textures, So on a trip to Tankmania - See link that follows http://www.tankmania.co.uk/vehicles_tank_mania_driving_days.php - However before i went on this day out i decided that i would take a look at what vehicles this company actually had :-
- Abbot self propelled gun tank
- 432 Armoured Personnel Carrier
- BV206 opentop Haggland Amphibous Personel Carrier
- DAF 4 x 4 Troop Carrying Vehicle (TCV)
- Military Police Landrover Discovery
- Land rover series 3 109 3/4ton
- OC TAD
- Miniature Tank
Once i was done looking at this i had a better idea of which vehicle i would like to model overal, There were two clear winners - The BV206 Haggalund and the OCTAD. I had a few reasons for choosing these over the other vehicles, other than I liked both these vehicles and had never heard of either of them before.
When we arrived at Tankmania it became apparent that some of the vehicles where out of commission - The tank, and although we could take photos i had already made my mind up from the first few minutes of the trip which vehicle i was going to model and that i would focus more upon that vehicle, Having took a decent amount of photos for that vehicle i decided that i would look for other 'Reference/Texture' images f0r my project : - Lights, Fuel Canisters, Scratches, Mesh, Woods, Concretes - anything that could be of use during my project.
