Panzer IV (3D model for game engine) - Week 2

 Panzer IV


5/12/2020 - Week 2 Blocking out (Production)                                                               

Starting blocking out the parts of the tank like the turret, main body, barrel, trucks and wheels.


At this point, I am finished blocking out the tank and the size ratio also you can see how the tank looks near a life-sized human.



Starting on making the tracks by making two objects one for the form for the tracks and another one for the bumps that hit the floor. For the bumps as there are a lot of them, I could have placed them individually but that would have wasted time. So I used a tool in Maya called Mash network that makes it easier to duplicates the mesh you select and will give you a lot of freedom. There are nodes you can use with it and I choose two nodes. One for more freedom to do more with the mesh called a replicator and the other one called a curve. The main one I used was the curve as you can make a curve and put the mesh on the curve so the mesh that has a lot of them can flow the line you've made. For more on this go to this link great video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWwc_Rb2KCE&t=103s

Mesh Editor - nodes that I used:



  when they are not together:                                                         The mesh used with mash network (bumps):            
  
  What it looks like together:                                                                                     What it looks like without the bumps:

                            

        What the tank looks like with the new tracks:                    Back of the tank

 Panzer IV 14/02/2021 - Week 3 Modeling Had I brake from the last time I did the week 2 blog Adding more detail to the low poly model like the side hatches on the turret   showing you what the tank looks like in the Maya scene Adding more detail from the last images likee adding the lights at the front, changing the style of the top turret hatch to more of a more common version for the hatch. Wireframe Gray Render What the tank looks like rendered with no               A wireframe version of the tank to show the  textures on it to show more show what the                wireframe and how the models are made models look like in the render setting  with a basic HDRI.                                                                                                                                                                                                      starting to make the high poly from the low poly by using these images and some others to and make what the wheels look like.  The

 Panzer IV 14/02/2021 - Week 4 Modeling Same as last week working on the high poly but added more detail.         what the low poly tracks look like                                                   What the high poly tracks look like. So i will be baking the                                                                                                                              high poly tracks to the low poly track and use the normals                                                                                                                             t hat I will get from the bake to give the illusion that there is                                                                                                                              hight on the geometry
