Wireframes: Don't mind the extra verts on the wheels, I created those to set an axes to use when I was posing them. They don't count. Think of them as the Grand Galactic Inquisitors of verticess.

Semi - finished model: I'll probably change the nose, but I wish I could have added more detail overall :(
I'll continue the model outside of the contest later.

Wheel V2 EDIT: Had to take all of that detail out :(
too many polies.

Wheel V1
http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee6/TheExAm/Picture171.png

Concept: Electric, Independently driven, computer controlled wheel assemblies with hydraulic dampened torque spring suspension mounted offset, to provide inherent up/down wheel travel, remote turret on top. Axel itself is fixed, hollow inside for the power supply wires. The drive gear inside is not a gear per se, more like a clutch pressure plate in drum form. Pressure is variable, to allow for disengagement if needed. What the hell, it's amphibious too :P
Don't mind the exhaust pipe on there, I forgot that it was electric and put that on :gonk:

great lookin wheels, bro.

mind the max tri count.Yeeeaaaahhhhh... i might have to remove some of my precious details on those wheels, actually. It's already over 3,000 when it's mirrored with all six wheel assemblies :(

Fortunately I don't think anything else on this thing is going to require that much detail, so i may be able to limbo under the bar.

Wheels looks awesome, can't wait to see it completed.

Soooooo... I just remembered that I had forgotten to triangulate the model when I counted the polies. Half of the model without mirroring is 5,000 tris. If I mirror it, it's 10,000 tris. Fuck.

Luckily, I have the version with the less detailed wheels saved as well. I'll work off that one.

I guess I'm crazy, but I find the thing pretty ugly and bland. I'm guessing it's definitely not done with and you're still evaluating certain parts...

Your concept sketch looks wonderful though.

It's actually pretty much done. I have no more polies to work with :(
I'm not very happy with it myself.

I wanted to add the portholes on the side, but Wings has no boolean, and I had to do some freaky shit pretty early on in the modeling process to get the front holes to work right.

You should make a second one with all of the detail you can add. I like the concept, but the model lacks a lot of things in the concept...

Bleh don't say that, I think its pretty good, if you textured it and added in some more details like that, I think it'd look a lot less bland.

The wheel concept is really good though, I'm imagining how it would animate if in game, would be pretty cool looking.

Nice work :cool:
