Default 3D Jam #1: Cobra Wolf (Veh)


What's up fellas?

I've decided to join the challenge and take a shot at the Cobra Wolf.

I went through most of the vehicles on www.yojoe.com and I liked the arctic vehicles the best. It was a tough decision because the Ice Sabre and Snow Cat are very cool also.

In the end I decided to go with the Wolf because it has a ton of good reference and it's Cobra!

I'm getting started a little later than I'd like, but since texturing isn't an issue, I should get finished.

Good luck everybody.

Yeah, I was up late last night. And now that it's morning and I'm sober, I'm wondering what I got myself into.

Okay. Made some progress. I'm trying to get the basic shape right before I go crazy with the details.

Here's the ref I'm using if you're wondering what it looks like.

Quick Update. Added the front and rear sleds and I'm working on the missile hatch. Oh yeah, couldn't resist throwing on the Cobra decal.

Finished the missile hatch and added details to the sides and top. Working on the treads now and after that I'll start on the top cannons.

Thanks. I'm going to play around with some different types of renders. So I'm not sure if the final image will use the toon shader, but I'd say it's a pretty safe bet.

Thanks guys. This has been a really fun model to work on. I added the cannon and some details to the rear. I just need a few more decals and some polish pieces then I'll be wrapping this sucker up.
