3D Modeling: PanzerKampfwagen VI : Tiger I (11) New Render.

So, here is a new render of the Tank, with the small updates that I made and posted, nothing new besides that. Fixed it a little bit in Photoshop adding a background and enhancing the shadows.

** Edited the image to correct the background thanks to a friends commentary.

Just a small Update.

Currently I am working on the back of the Tank, so far I got the mud guards, the exhausts with their respective covers and the toolbox.

Another render, of what I have so far, the tank is not finished, but I am getting close to it. I will keep working on the main body so expect some updates soon. I hope you guys like the render:

Hello people, I am still working on the Tiger I, I am currently working on the front part of the main body; I think the tread looks good right now, even when I have to correct some stuff for animating it later, but I will just leave it like that 'till I finish the rest.

As for what is new, I added the mud guard pieces to the sides and in the front of the tank. Also added the spare "links" for the tread that go in the front of the tank, plus the bar that keeps them from falling. Added the drivers "window" and the 7.92 mm MG34 machine gun that goes in the front.

I am also posting some renders that didn't upload last time.

Front reworked, added Spare Links:

Drivers view port + 7.92mm Gun:

Another update, added the tread of the tank and the small details on the metallic wheels and the gears that make the tread rotate around them.

Its been a long time since I posted something on this blog, for different reasons, but anyways here is what is new of the Panzer.

Finished the last details of the turret, added the smoke grenade launchers. Also started the main body with the tank wheels.

Hey guys. I have been a little bit busy with Christmas stuff this days so the progress on the tank was a bit slow, but here is a small update.

Commander's Cupola:

Vision Ports on the sides of the turret:

Will keep working on the tank. The turret is almost finished, well outside at least. Hopefully next update will have all the exterior of the turret done.

Day 3 of modeling the Tiger.

Today I fixed some problems with the turret, so now its interior is smoother and also fixed some non planar faces that were looking bad. Modeled the point of the cannon and added some details to its base. Also I modeled the Box that goes in the back of the turret with some details.

Hope you guys like it.

Today I worked a little bit more on the Tiger I. I fixed a little bit the grid of the turret and modeled the cannon.....well most of it.

So I enter the CGTalk Hardcore Modeling Contest. It is called "Cutaway" and the idea is to model something mechanical with all the parts on its interior and present it as a cutaway image, as the title says.

I went a little bit crazy and chose a model a little bit complicated, one of the greatest tanks of all
times, the German Legend: PanzerKampfwagen VI : Tiger I.

Here are some images that I will use as reference:

I started the modeling already, with the general shapes of the tank body and turret. I will keep working on it tonight, but here is what I have so far:

Reference planes:

Basic form of the turret:

Turret interior:

Main body + Turret:

Hope you guys like it. Any advice, commentaries or questions are more than appreciated.
