Hello,
You're doing well so far; keep at it! Practice makes perfect.
I'm far from being an expert at Blender, but I've been using it since January this year and learned quite a bit. So let me know if you need help understanding any of it and I can try to assist. Good luck!

Hi again. Thanks for all the feedback while I was away! I was in a galaxy far far away...

Anyway I have finished my latest project, hope you like it:
Attachments
Used Cycles Render. Fairly high-poly. I used a camera as for the vehicles vision instead of what seems to be a darkly tinted window. A few mistakes visible but I hope you don't spot them!

Pretty nice :)
When it comes to artifacts, however, I usually notice them quite quickly :P
Will post it here for educational purposes.

This is not really critique, it's just about the fact that once you learn to deal with this kind of stuff, you'll have more time for making stuff the way you want it rather than trying to figure out why it does stuff you don't want :)

Thanks a lot for the feedback Jorzi :) There is actually a few more mistakes than that but I think I will pass :)

Anyway, I have been working on a canon turret though I have no idea what it actually is in Warzone 2100. Still haven't textured it or added materials yet:

good job, although I think it would be more logical to have a battle ready equipment stand on a stronger support than a tiny metal joint...

Yeah I agree, I don't know how I ended up with design... It looks more elegant and flexible which I doubt would have been made in real life in a WZ2100 scene. But hey, its worth a try :)

Hello,

I've been awfully quiet for the past few months as my attention drifted elsewhere... As a result I haven't had much time to use Blender and keep up activity in this forum so my skills on blender haven't really improved much at all, so don't expect much improvement on my future projects.

So I decided to start by improving and building on one of my last projects:
Attachments
Added a mist effect as well as a attempting to fix some of the mistakes Jorzi pointed out when I previously posted the render. Shading is a bit screwed up.

Been working on a new project lately. Behold:
Attachments
A scene including a machine gun tower. Obviously can do with a bit more work. Took me a while to make the ground texture for the scene. First time merging textures :)

Thanks a lot. I hope I am correct by thinking that the heavy machinegun is similar in structure than that of a minigun.

Actually, we speculated that it's probably inspired by a water-cooled browning m2, which would explain its one protruding barrel.

The heavy MG is a single barrel if you look at the research the next is a rotary bunker which suggests a drum type barrel set up simmilar to a mini gun and advancing from that.

Okay, I mistook it for a mini-gun due to the texturing of the barrel :oops:
