Ground-based Army Vehicle

Week One & Two

For this computer games modelling module we have the task to do a ground-based army vehicle with a diorama, but we need to use our own reference images and texture reference, so we needed to go out and gather photographic materials for the model and for the textures. We also had a polygon limit of 10,000 polygons for the vehicle and the diorama. In the first week we needed to go out and gather reference images which could be use for textures. During week two there was a trip organized but our course leader to a place called Tank Mania (here is a link for the side, from which we found this place: http://www.tankmania.co.uk/), on which they took us to a farm in the country side, where we had the opportunity to take photographs of a great range of military vehicles such as:

Abbot self propelled gun tank

432 Armoured Personnel Carrier

Bv206 opentop Hagglund Amphibous Personal Carrier

DAF 4x4 troop carrying vehicle

Military Police Land Rover Discovery

Land Rover series 3 109

OC TAD

Below are photographic images of some of the vehicles listed above.

After that it was up to us to go trough our photographs and decide which of the vehicles we we going to model for this assignment.
