Introduction to Maya - Rendering in Arnold
This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

Leopard 2A4M CAN

Been a long time since I've last posted anything here. Been working on a personal project for a bit, its a little slow but trying to get it done.

I'm modeling the Leopard 2A4M CAN. Ever since Canada has acquired the Leopard 2 tanks (A4's from Netherlands and 6's from Germany), I've been interested in those tanks especially with the Canadian variants kinda being like a mish-mash of the A4's to A7's models.

So I tried my luck at building a tank even though I know the treads themselves will be a poly nightmare (I'm not going lowpoly but will try to be conservative with the polycount). Here's a few shots of what I have.

My workflow, isn't exactly organized since I go back and forth with the hull, the armor, suspension, etc. So, any comments are welcome be it harsh or nice user added image!

Cheers!

[Edit] Forgot to mention, I am modeling the tank off the German A4 blueprints and using several reference pics of the Canadian A4's. A bit tough since some parts aren't integrated into the blueprints and have to kind of wing them.

Thanks! I'm beveling for this model, not confident enough with my edge placement and flow to smooth hard surface models.
