New wheels
New wheels
I've always disliked the wheels for heavy bodies (I don't like the ones for medium bodies either, I'm doing them next) so I decided to redo them, which do you like best? Old or new? Any suggested changes to the new ones? Edit: each end of the tyre is a...wait what on earth do you call a 16 sided shape?
Old ^ New ^
Old ^ New ^

Re: New wheels for large bodies
I prefer the new one, perhaps, you can also improve a bit better the wheels inside: Regards BPMysteryem wrote:I've always disliked the wheels for heavy bodies (I don't like the ones for medium bodies either, I'm doing them next) so I decided to redo them, which do you like best?

Re: New wheels for large bodies
Did you mean as in 3d or adding detail to the tyres? Because they're already 3d (and I'm working on the tyres as we speak)

Re: New wheels for large bodies
Adding Details for it, cause they looks like a slick tire, just those ones used by race cars, and slick tires are bad in off-road terrain (Mud, grass, sand, etc)Mysteryem wrote:Did you mean as in 3d or adding detail to the tyres?
Ops, sorry, i didn't notice the 3D of the wheel, because that image of your first post doesn't show well the 3D detail of the wheels.Mysteryem wrote:Because they're already 3d (and I'm working on the tyres as we speak)

Re: New wheels for large bodies
Neat! Now they actually look like wheels, instead of tracks with wheels painted on... xD
Re: New wheels for large bodies
Edit:Found two lone points and deleted them, I have adjusted the information.
The final version:
Points each: 118
Polygons each: 98
Original(before deletion of unneccesary points and polygons and the fuse of polygons):
Points each: 160
Polygons each: 176 (now that's what I call a reduction in polies )

Re: New wheels for large bodies
But how do they look on small Bodies? Can you show?
I think, the Wheels seem to have too much Polygons compared to the Protecting Frame over them, which should be more round.

I've only made wheels for heavy bodies so far, I think they'd look a bit odd on small bodiesZi-Chan wrote:But how do they look on small Bodies? Can you show?
Do you mean I should round the edges of the frame so it flows more nicely and isn't so sharp (eg. A curve instead of a right angle)Zi-Chan wrote:I think, the Wheels seem to have too much Polygons compared to the Protecting Frame over them, which should be more round.

Re: New wheels for large bodies
They look really nice. But I think empty space inside dasher is useless. Without it you can save about half of polygons.

4 wheels for the heavy-bodyMysteryem wrote:I've only made wheels for heavy bodies so far, I think they'd look a bit odd on small bodies
3 wheels for the medium-body
2 wheels for the light-body
possible ?
so that the wheeled-propulsion is looking the same at all body-types
eh, and 5 wheels on the super-bodyies perhaps? (dragon)
Re: New wheels for large bodies
light bodies would look cool with those

Re: New wheels for large bodies
Here is a slightly better version (imo) of page-16-droid-drives that makes the wheel "case" look better.

Re: New wheels for large bodies
Nice! Any chance of the entire land propulsion sets getting a makeover to be in line with the new wheel sets? It'd be kinda odd to have these new ones alongside the old ones...
Texture could do with a bit of tightening up too, but I dunno if that'd really be feasible unfortunately. :-S
