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:

shit man, i love those wheels. I cant wait to see what its like when finished.

[SnaFuBAR]

great lookin wheels, bro.

mind the max tri count.

[ExAm]

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.

[killer9856]

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

[ExAm]

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.

[ExAm]

New renders up

[The_Wraith]

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.

[ExAm]

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.

[BobtheGreatII]

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...

[Apoc4lypse]

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

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:

[ExAm]

Made some changes, after finally finding out how to put holes in the side D:

[ExAm]

moar changes. Turns out I uh, misread the polygon limit :|

[nick3d]

Lookin good, ;) good luck

[Rentafence]

Oh wow. Now I have to try and make mine look decent. >_>
