this is a truck, inspirated by a drawing in the comic akira. it has 1080 triangles. you can see it in motion via an applet here: http://www.jzone.de/java/movie/truck.htm
comments appreciated.

I really enjoy this stuff. Just something about the innovation behind it--really intriguing. I'm wondering, how would you model/animate such a thing in Java? A 3d-suite exported to a proper format, or done by hand using a Java-builder?

Really really nice.

Fo some reason it looked like something you would see in Perfect Dark. Well done.

Interesting! your java animation thing looked really neat!

nice job on the texture map!

cool work on the truck... but where did 1030 polygons go into? the wheels are 6 sided, and I can't see inside... you should work on puttin the higher poly density areas in plain view... so that the detail isn't just waster... the wheels could use a few more sides (8 sided cyliner? maybe a 12 sided one even?) because you see them move the most in a truck or any vehicle that's that off the ground.... other than that, I love the style, and the texturing is pretty cool albeit the texture page is a bit sparse for my liking, but I spend 70% of my time on mapping

thanx very much for your comments!

mjmcchesney: the applet (the first 3 pics are screenshots from it) uses a 3d engine from www.anfy3d.com . the model itself was made with an own editor (opengl/win32) and i use an own 3d format.

shahar2k: yep i was also wondering why i got to the high number of tris (1080). each wheel uses 48 triangles so 10x48=480 triangles for the wheels :-/ here is an details pic of the wheels:

and here is the texture (50% zoom):

Schabe, this is great stuff.

The textures are well done and the model looks very clean.

Is this just a personal project?
Keep posting this stuff!

Nice work...

yah, sometimes it's amazing how fast you can pass the 1000 poly mark...
heh I feel like an ass always posting in the 3D threads never posting examples.. I'm just not proud enough of my stuff at the moment... can't find the time to work on it...
maybe soon

That's awesome. It'd make a great Carmageddon vehicle.
