WZA Contest : Super Seven Killing UnDead

[crazy 989]

looks awesome, loving the machine gun, and monkey is cool, maybe you could extend the spikes a bit so they protect the wheels as well, or atleast the struts, holding the wheel, looks like a weak point

[DbblGlock]

haha, i like. nice to see you joining in this competition. looks like a mighty fine start.

i like the nice details, but i kinda agree with crazy in that you might want to protect the "weaker areas"

keep it up man

[darth carth]

lol maybe he will replace the original suspension bars with razorsharp blades

just an idea

oh and I just love that monkey on the bonnet...
...
okay I just realised how horribly wrong that sounded, but you know what I mean... I hope.. if not then I'd probably won't dare to show me here anymore

What a bunch of comments ! Thanks everyone !

Dr Feelgood, thanks. I see this car as an escort scout, moving along with some huge vehicle (a bus or a truck) to protect it and clear the way. Maybe 2 or 3 Seven for a convoy.

Prykie, thanks. No update at the moment, but I'm working on some nice parts. Stay tuned.

dissaster, thanks. The monkey is a kind of easter egg, as it's the most useless so the most indispensable feature of Blender, like the teapot in Max. Her name is Suzanne. Say hello to SMC, Suzanne

Johnas, thanks. Please read above about the monkey

doom18, thanks. You're right about the blades : that's why they are rotative : they raise to show the under blade, and by the way to protect the air intake.

Rsenal, thanks. I got my idea when I've seen the LSV-ZB by fskpzns.

fskpzns, thanks for your comment. They should beware of whole SMC, because we'll have a really nice anti-zombie fleet. It gives an idea : who would agree to see their model within a large big picture ? I have access to the hardware (biXeon 2.66GHz, 8GO RAM) to render a large scene with as many vehicles as we can get. If anyone is interested, it would be a nice picture.

Erik_S, thanks. For a time, I've thought to convert it as a automated vehicle. But I think I'll do the AI-controlled version later. So the driver / gunner protection will be a simple cage around the cockpit. About your critic, you're right : I'll take care of it.

caribcanuk, thanks. I really like your project, something like yours and mine can combine into a special task force for a given high-importance mission.

crazy 989, thanks. I will come up with a protection for wheels, so stay tuned.

DbblGlock, thanks. I know the car will have some weakness, but I want to keep it as lightweight as possible, because an armoured Seven will not be a Seven any longer.

darth_carth, thanks. That's a nice idea, but there is still the chance that a zombie part stay sticked to the suspension. I have to find a solution.

No updates at the moment, because things are too WIP to be worth showing here. Stay tuned ! Thanks again to everyone for taking time to comment.

oh ... so they're roatateing .. thats good ... and iff i'll finish it in time i would be gratefull to send my car over for "the big picture"

[Rsenal]

oh it's nice idea to put all our machines in one render to see all cars together!

[tom120934]

Here's a little update.

About the great SMC anti-zombies fleet, I'll post about it in the contest topic.

[Dr. Feelgood]

I WANT that bull-bar.

[fskpzns]

Very nice update. Looks more better with this front changes. I agree with your rendering idea from post No 14 i also have idea that someone make, for example underground garage/shelter so we can park all our car together.

[tom120934]

Thanks for the comments. Yet another update : the survival cage around the cockpit.

About the big picture, please have a look at the post I've wrote in the contest thread.
