I haven't seen the seige tank up close, but a few things:
- You might want to make the tracks a bit longer (in side view); there wasn't that huge a gap in between them. Those look more like mis-shapen wheels than tracks
-Texturing it like that is fine, but its still going to need some decent skinning
-You can reduce poly count by giving the barrels and hatch a fewer sides (8 sided cylinders, etc).

(haha Gee, look at me suggesting 8 sided cylinders! I'm the one who models the INSIDE of uber high poly barrels. Must get the rifling just right..... hehe)

Overall it's a pretty good looking model.
I don't know what it's for, but I'm assuming seige turret-
Put it in seige mode, make it cute and small, and I'd use it! pwnage! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'>

hey thats pretty good. you have a bunch of black faces on the front of the model. when that happens just selet them and hit ctrl+****+f. I'll reverse the vertex order. It's in the menus too. You might want to focus on details now. the back for instance isn't finished you can see some things that need to be added although you'd need more pics to see what it is. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

DAmn!! thats hot. Only thing would be the very front of the tank. Its pretty uneven and bumby. treads could use a bit more work, maybe a bit loonger.

CoolCookieCooks · May 2003

if this works... i lowered poly, and fixed one face (i think, its either fixed, or missing)... brought the tracks inside towards the body a little....and regrouped a little bit...

nothing major....
