The Self Referential Thread

Thanks Kurch The camo brown was air brushed on The Abrams tank would look cool in silver or gold 😀 😛

You are most welcome.

Yes it does I am looking to put a bit of a bump on it to make it look more real and used. 😀 😀 😛
 
I wouldn't know what a bump mask is A program? 😀 😛

Generally any 3d object in a 3d program is made up of the object itself and the material. The material is composed of a texture (what the material looks like metal, rubber, glass etc.) and then a bump mask or map which gives the material some addtional 3d relief amd makes it more realisitic. In this case a bump of some dents or gouges would be appopriate. Materials have other properties as well like refelctivity and transperency for example. 😀 😀 😛

Thanks for the explanation my friend 😀 😛
 
That would be cool Would the whole tank be made of diamond,or just the main body? 😀 😛

Well I am not sure yet to be honest. For a totally stealth tank I would make the whole thing out diamond and change the refractive index to a lower value for the main body. Refractive index is the amount a transparent object bends light. So Diamond has a high refractive index so it bends light a lot, air has a small refractive index so it bends light very little. The end result would be a stealth like tank whose main body would be barely noticable. 😀 😀 😛

I am trying to figure if diamonds would be good for the tracks or not 😀 😛

I know its not always easy to tell. Sometimes you have to just try it and see how it looks. I might try a transparent texture with lightning swirls in it, that might be neat. 😀 😀 😛

I like the sound of that 😀 😛
 
Sorta like the guy that paints a Polar Bear in a snow storm and all you see is a white background and three black dots (two for the eyes and one for the nose) Hehehehehe. 😀 😀 😛

I admire artists like that 😛

You ever get a song stuck in your head and have a hard time getting rid of it? 😀 😛
