Yuri vehicle series 3 of 3.
There are smoothing issues that are present in this image, which have since been fixed (the close up shots have fixed images).
Has you can see I went with Stygs fuel drum suggestion, it looks nice!
The mine roller, which looks like a very nice normal map, is actually modelled in! The normal map was useless... (it was worth a try, I was always thinking that it would be simple to model the detail in if the normal did not work).
Of course this throwaway statement hides the fact that this small detail (which looks like a normal map) has added 400 polygons! (800 tris!).
The thing is that the mine roller is a key feature and is an area that everyone will check out.
Needless to say a low LOD version would omit this modelled detail.
Outside of that the treads are not very good. I am not even sure if they can be rescued or not, I might try at a later date.
All in all, the Yuri vehicle series was quite interesting for me. It helped that the vehicles were quite different.
