WZA Contest : Super Seven Killing UnDead

[Gillou]

Really nice work Tom, just a comment, your rims... they looks like cheap rims of a Golf...

Just kidding

I would just add some big pipes to protect the rollcage, if you take a zombie on the windscreen (grill), it could break the whole thing.

[Icekid84]

Some excellent work. I went looking through this tread, not reading however and this was fun to see progres ( still is) I cant wait for all these cars to get materials. I'm thinking rust, blood and wear. Anyhow definitly a mini fortress thats for sure.

[skb875]

lol, Barrett on the back.. Not sure how useful that would be, but sure looks nice!
Think I would rather have some sort of 50cal machinegun, but that's me.

Good job on the model.

[Erik_S]

that is one mean and awesome looking car. I think i'll just sit next to you when the zombies come Nothing to crit it it is really a good model!

[R0cky103]

Really like how this is turning out Tom! Looks great, only thing i might suggest is a little more work on the tires unless u just havent gotten to them yet. Love the flamethrower setup you have.

[Mayaniac]

WOW, this just keeps getting better and better!!!

You've got talent

[et_fone_home]

Whoa awesome!!! i like the monkey logo on the front. Rifle on the back is powerful but slow reloading, not too good against moving targets.

[caribcanuk]

m82a1 is a 10 round clip semi auto, barrel recoils into the reciever to reload and absorb the massive recoil. can squeeze off ten round about as fast as you can squeeze the trigger so reload speed isnt an issue lol. just that the ammo gets heavy rather fast lol,

Thanks for all the comments.

Gillou, thanks. The rims were made in a really short time, maybe I'll change them. I'm not sure yet

Icekid84, thanks. You're right about progress, I've took a look at all the renders (~30) I've made, nice to see the complexity coming.

skb875, et_fone_home, thanks. The Garrett is more intended for sniping from a hill, rather than firing against a crowd running after the car. A kind of hunting game, like in the remake of "Dawn of the Dead" : a character ask the other one to kill the zombie looking like Nixon or Marylin or Oprah or ...

Erik_S, thanks. I really have some issues to fix. Stay tuned

ROcky103, thanks. You're right, they're just placeholders. I will remodel them but without any thread I think.

Mayaniac, thanks. It's a pretty simple task, because I don't have any accuracy concern here, of course.

No update so far, I'm currently closing the roll cage to give more protection, with some unbreakable glass panels (think perspex or something else)

Edit : caribcanuk, thanks for the explanation. Please see what I've wrote above about the use of the rifle.

[tom120934]

A little update : the end of the rollcage protections.

[Dr. Feelgood]

I'm really glad you've taken a shine to this contest Tom, and it sure is showing. You've got some incredible details and a very nice zombie-killing ride in general. I am really hoping the texturing job will be just as kick-ass as modeling one!!

I think all it needs now is some polish (tyres mainly I think) and you'll be well on your way to coming 2nd... The heat is on baby!!

[tom120934]

2nd ? With you being 1st ? Haha I've entered for two reasons : to have fun when modeling the beast, and to win !

Thanks for your comment, I hope I'll improve my shadering skills on this one. In fact, I really need to...

[Nitro-x]

I F***** love this one , classic , original and fatal !!
Very nice details ... this is going to be so much fun to watch .

[Silent][Moebius]

this is a really original concept. some excellent details too!

though some details could use improvement like the suspension, when i'm hunting zombiesi wouldn't care much for comfort but hey it looks like your car will be rock solid

also you might want to reduce the size of the sniper on the back. you can't really shoot anything apart from stuff that is directly behind you!

there are a lot of great entries in this competition. choosing a winner will be very difficult

[tom120934]

Thanks for comment, Nitro-x.

Thanks too, S][M. You're right about the suspension, it's really low detailed at the moment. I hope I will have enough time to make it more realistic.

The sniper rifle is almost accurately sized (I've just reduced the butt length a bit) Despite how it looks, it can rotate 60'° left, 60° right, 12° down, 12° up. And the trigger is still reachable from the gunner in the car in such extreme rotations.

I agree with you about choosing a winner. I said before I'd not made my choice and it's still true.

Here's a new render, based upon the explanations given by ROcky103 in his thread (http://www.smcars.net/forums/work-pr...000-mkiii.html) It's looking better IMHO, but the render time exploded : 10' to 4 hours : x24 !

[crazy 989]

looks wicked but not 4hrs worth....

Heya Tom, Looks Great! Did you render this in Brazil or Vray? If you did it in Vray there's probably some render setings that i can give you that can perhaps shortin that 4 hour render time. Get with me sometime and i'll try to help you out.

[Masakari987]

That is one sick looking caterham! I love it!
I like those cages around the guns in the back and the passenger area. The chainsaw on the side is a nice touch.

[et_fone_home]

Whoa, nice, Yep, 4Hrs for that is a bit long.

[tom120934]

Thanks for all comments.

crazy 989, et_fone_home, I agree with you. That's the reason why I played with settings to try to lower the render time. Now I have an almost identical render in 30'. I know it's a bit darker, I'll take care of that later.

ROcky103, I rendered it with YafRay : I'm no Max user but Blender user.

Masakari987, the little "cannons" on rear wings are not guns but flamethrowers. They're fueled by the little tanks ahead.
