[Vehicle] SISU XA-186 [WIP] - Page 5

Cool, just asking, how long does it take to make a model like this? I want to become a modeler of some sort but I dont know were to start.

FastWinston · 01-07-2009, 01:06 PM

Depends, but not too long, maybe 2-4 "full" days (4-6 hours a day). Now I'm using a lot more days but just a few minutes a day

. Though to finish a product you have to take some time to get a result you are proud of. Just start small (I started with a TT33 Tokarev using the Glock-tutorial) and take it from there

You will get better and better fast if you continue to model!

Good luck!

But what kind of program should I use?

FastWinston · 01-11-2009, 01:19 PM

I use 3ds max, but there are free and really good alternatives (I cant remember the name right now, google it

). If you want to show me/ask me something you've made, just PM me with it and I'l take a look.

gmax is free but rather limited. Blender is free and extremely powerful.

Did you manage to find some time to work on the Sisu/Patria Winston???

FastWinston · 01-11-2009, 05:17 PM

No, sorry. Things are going slow, a lot of personal things are taking up most of my time. Probably going to be a slow month with little progress... Will try to allocate some time to finish this

Looks good so far, looking for the finished release.

FastWinston · 01-12-2009, 08:08 AM

Had some time today, made some progress. Although hard to see, the drive train is almost finished, but other than that a lot of small details remain. If it's okay with the team leaders I will use the picture posted in my first post as main reference for this model (Which I think is a XA-203) as the XA-186 don’t look as nice. (Any tips on making the renders lighter? I use the clay-render tut from game-artist)

Edit: One more:
