tank and scene render

To kick start the project, I wanted to experiment with something really simple. I decided on a tank which was built by using really simple 3d shapes. This would be the basis of a series of tests while I get used to Carrara - the 3d programme I am using to build and render the project. The movie below was a test to see how I could use particle effects. The smoke which comes out of the revolving guns was achieved by blurring the particles as they are generated. This gives a reallistic smoke effect but cuts back on rendering times.



The next step for me will be to start developing graphics to put on the tank as this will be one of the vehicles in the final project.
