almost finished

Hey all,
I tried to post yesterday, but I couldn't upload images for some reason, so I will upload the images and today's progress as well.
Today I have finished the modelling stage of the vehicle, besides part of the gun, and I have almost unwrapped all of the different sections of the vehicle.
Here is what I have so far

I can't wait to start to see some textures and normal maps on this thing!
Let me know what you think please folks?

anoter truck update

Hey everyone,
I'm sorry I haven't  updated much recently.
I have started to unwrap the model and I have now continued with some more modeling so here are the results.

  I really like how this is coming along, but I feel that it is going a little slow so I am trying my best to speed up the process.

Let me know what you think please guys,

truck update

Hi all,
here is a quick update of how the truck is going.
I've now added some more parts to the back and top.

I think that now I am going to attempt to unwrap some of model and see how it goes. This is still a learning process for me as I am not totally familiar with the maya unwrap tools yet so it should be fun.
See you soon,

hello again

Hi guys,
I have been working on the truck some more and here are the results,

I am thoroughly enjoying working on this model and I can't wait to start texturing it.

Let me know what you guys think please

P.S. I know the renders are a bit rubbish, I haven't remembered how to do nice renders in maya yet so this is what you get for now .

DREDD

Hi guys.
Now that class is finished, I am working as a team with a Judge Dredd level that one of my friends has designed. I have been asked to do the street scene section of the level and so that is what I am doing.
I have decided to do all of my work in Maya so that I can get used to it properly again, so that is what I'm doing.
The first thing I did was make an extremely basic manhole cover. I did this so that I could figure out how to unwrap and texture in maya. I did this with no help from tutorials and here is the result:

I know it's not the highest quality asset in the world, but it was a first time so I am quite happy with it.
Now I am working on this beast:

Its called a JGSDF type 96 and it is a Japanese armoured vehicle. I will be building it, then adapting it to a more futuristic design because it is supposed to fit into the judge dredd world.
Here is what I have so far:

It's still in the very early stages at the moment, but I assure you that it will look great when it's finished.
I thought that this project will be good because I trust kev's designs and I also thought it would be good because I don't really like judge dredd so it would be a good chance to show that I can also work on a project when I don't like it. I am enjoying myself though, and I am learning new things every day.
Catch you all soon.

P.S sorry about the lack of posts recently
