I don't really like the design myself, I just posted it to get some feedback on how I could make it look slightly decent. It just sort of looks like a mixture of existing concepts that I ripped off badly, thats kinda how all my stuff ends up. Theres something wrong about it, but I can't put my finger on it.
IMO the Empire's style is more blocky and stiff. Like someone said 'Oh shit! We got a war on our hands, convert the pickup truck into a boomtank!"
no, i think he means every tank, since basically thats what the afv and the apc are of the be trucks with armor plates welded against them
i like the style its like brenodi 2.0, but i guess be would need new models for everything if you'd start with this.
I started with some blueprints, then drew some 3d curves from it for guidance. It's not finished yet, still half way with the body.
I certanly think it should be a tank in the game (AFV Mk.2?) but for the normal AFV its too tanky :p lol. Still i think it is one hell of an awsome model
AFV MKI can be PwnedYoAss's/Vess' model, MKII can be this! There, problem solved. Now for the LT MKII...
The cannon is too large for one. It's bore is incredible, like it's meant to shoot cannon balls or massive artillery shells. Make it a little longer and a smaller bore. The little piece on the back of the turret just looks funky, maybe it's because I can't actually see what it is. But it does look awkward. What's that weird trapezoidal bump on the left side, it looks kind of goofy, but that might just be because it's not skinned. The turret looks like it needs to come forwards a little bit. This would need serious re-editing to look like an AFV model. But it is sexy as shit, it's the speed monster of empires, at least that's what it looks like. It's really cool, it just doesn't look fitting for an AFV.
Is it the same size as the light tank? Because it seems it is a tad too wide and a little bit higher than LT. But overall it looks good but quite "solid." Chunky.
