[Vehicle] LAV-III Model [WIP]

[R-DEV]Cheeseman · 08-18-2007, 08:13 PM

I started this project with a Stryker in mind, but got beat in the battle, so I went straight into transforming it into a Canadian LAV-III. Can’t say I’m disappointed, cause this has made my work a lot easier since there are quite a few noticeable differences in the shape, parts, and weaponry of both the Stryker and the LAV-III. Anyhow, I have yet to model the 25mm gun turret, but will be modeling that soon. So far this is the 83% done, work in progress model of the LAV-III. As you can see it’s at 4914 Tris with 6000 being the maximum and I’ve got a little more than a thousand to finish the model.
My initial plans were to model a somewhat detailed inside as well, but we’ll see if I get around to that.

Hers a picture of the real Canadian LAV-III somewhere in Afghanistan.

Sorry if it's hard to see the actual vehicle itself, cause it's pretty dirty and a lot of stuff seem to be hanging from it.

Here are some images of the LAV-III model without the 25mm gun turret:

Thanks for the comments guys, sure gives a person hopes to model.

Not long before I finish it, just need to get it skinned somehow and to be quite honest I'm not that familiar with skinning as much as I am with modeling.

Good stuff man,

Maybe ask one of the good community skinners to skin it for you?

Looks nice so far. Just work on it for as long as you can and in the end we will all be happy

Very good work, looking damn good and coming along quite quickly. Wheels look a bit narrow, but I think that might just be me.

Hey does does lav 3 carry troops? And will there be troops carriers like the bmp where you actually sit in the vehicle with others and can look at othe players while inside?
