Twisted metal: Sweet Tooth

[ae.]

For which Engine - None
Current Polycount - n/a
Max Polycount - alot!
Texture Size - probably 2048x2048 for portfolio
Description of background information on piece - In concept, Twisted Metal is a demolition derby which permits the usage of ballistic projectiles. Players choose a vehicle and an arena—or a series of arenas in the story mode—to engage in battle with opposing drivers. A variety of weapons and upgrades are obtainable by pick-ups scattered throughout the stage. The last driver alive is the winner.

Although each individual game features its own storyline, they all revolve around the same basic theme: a man named Calypso hosts a vehicular combat tournament called Twisted Metal with the promise of granting the winner one wish. There is a general "be careful what you wish for" theme, as many of the contestants wind up with not-so-happy endings. The games in the series usually contain a healthy dose of black humor. Many of you may know that one of the games most recognizable characters is Sweet tooth (aka Needles Kane ) and his ice scream truck of the same name. My goal in this model is to recreate the ice cream truck( Sweet tooth)

Where are you looking to receive criticism - Unlike most of my other projects where i just start making my model i would like to research what i am making so that i can make a good and solid portfolio piece all i need is your help.

I think you've jumped the gun on the details, forget the wheels, headlights, grille and all that for now, let's just get the shape right. Before I can give you any real critique, can you show some wires? I'll give you my first thoughts about the model, though:


Hope it makes some sense to you.

hey man thanks for the crit helped me out quite abit yeah the car itself still needs alot of work .ill work with your crits

[Pankake]

No problemo', get those wires up when you can .

heres a small update i worked on the curves of the truck (note: the chaingun is just there so i can see where i should position the chain gun when im done the model itself).
