Interesting. I would like to see the model when it if finished. What format are you working in for the model?

Is this done in 3DS Max?

XSI Foundations. Old, slow, but it gets the job done and renders sweet.

First render done, I'm going to be doing some photoshop drawing with this.

It's not the best. It's got the reflection on wrong. And I still got to correct some lighting, etc. But it's still awesome looking, eh?

Here's the pop out stuff.

Still working on other stuff.

Here's a unreflective render, the floor still reflects though.

She's got 2 MG guns, a full active camo, 2 missile shot outs, like the Bradley. I'm still thinking about where to put an actual Bradley gun.

the back of the craft is actually hollow, holding a ladder into a cockpit, that holds a driver and shooter. The other side of the ladder holds supplies, ammo, etc.

More in depth stuff to come.

Damned good work sir. This is very similar to what I had in mind when I put the thread together.

Thanks man. I'll get some more later.
Would you mind if I use this in a little video game mod?

It's your design my friend. It would be interesting what our two concepts would bring to the table in a video game world.

thanks man.

I have a really weired mod I'm trying to make about 2 civilization on a planet. One is a zealous communist nation with church and state still bounded, the other is a secular capitalistic nation that split off from the other one eons ago. The later is very technologically advanced, the first lagging because of they are unmotivated. So the first nation, the Ruskanoe, fight technological and spiritual crusades, while the other, the Amero, seek to preserve their republic and their right to their technology.

Only one premise is odd about that. Communists aren't your typical god-crusaders..They tend to be secular to the extreme. I'd say one is fighting a totalitarian theocracy.

I twisted it around from the norm. Yes they are an oppressive theocracy, but they are devote communists too. They take wealth and redistribute it. Their king is as wealthy as a peasant. He is purely a voice of the people. There's no money, other then word of mouth and written trade of services, and the people own the means of production, having to give up all they make to the central planning government as to where to redistribute it. So it is communism. But rather than have a central planner oligarchy and dictator, God is viewed as the king, the "pope" his voice, and the king as the enforcer of their laws. Of course, the other nation despises using God to enforce a repressive government, but they have no interests and are isolationaists. It's basically communism whereas the oligarchy is the church, but even they are constantly inspected by other officials, and those officials inspected by the church, to eliminate any gathering of wealth. It's kind of like a divided branch of government spying on each other constantly, but the church still holds total control.

The Amero are kind of like Protestant-Catholics who still obied by religious law, but feel that one can worship their faith as they please. They are secularists, seeking to make a government off of logic and science, as opposed to doctrine. They also have no central government, and are more like a confederacy of states under a senate as opposed to a US federal government. The military are commonly running for senate seats, and when war occurs, they leave their seats to lead the army.

It's odd. I kind of took Conservative America and put it in control of the USSR, and then took liberal America and put it in control of conservative America.

It's such a twist. Atheism doesn't exist on the planet because science and government are tied together. The church supports most, if not all, scientific studies. It's viewed as worship to progress humanity's knowledge. As such, there's no division between science and religion.


But this car went perfectly with something I wanted to do. So thanks for the compliments and the opportunity to see the communities response. It's always great fun to try out my skills in the digital arts and see what people think about it.

This car you described is very well thought out, and you really should consider a career of military engineering, or engineering in some mechanical/automobile sector.

For anyone interested in helping me with it, PM me.

That's an interesting if not unnerving concept. You've put some serious thought into this. You should write a book.

Here's a thought, so you can develop from this:

Are you planning to go all Mad Max on us ? lol

More like Disgruntled Max. And thanks for that link.


I never knew about this. Wow.

No, my motivation for concepts like these is to find a do able idea and make enough money to never work again...And to use the imagination a little....Kinda like being a kid.

Oh I am writing it into a book as well. It's such fun.


As to the bulldozer man. I remember this. It's frightening. If i recall correctly, he lost everything to the banks and town, so he took it out in revenge.

My only fear is that with the new depression we are in, others there and elsewhere may be interested in the same final solution, which worries me.

Indeed. This sort of thing may be repeated as our economic woes deepen. I intend to build something or do something that will allow me to sleep comfortably at night knowing I can take an extra day or two off.

Concepts like these can help me hone some skill.

Very cool.

I would like to help too, providing the other kids don't kick me out of the sandbox...

You know, with that weight consideration, if what you're looking for is stability there are several ways to go about it.

You could do a hovercraft setup, but you may want to deal with uneven terrain as well as size.

You could do NIPD (Net Internal Propulsion Device) which in essence is nothing more than reciprocating masses with uneven strokes. You could get enough resistance in the atmosphere to hug the ground or lighten the car.

Or you could go electric, momentary strong static charges to hold you down, or lighten.

Maglev works on a conducting surface, and by definition ground is a conductor, but it may have too many bugs to work out for uneven terrain with varying conductive properties. The correct algorithm for a computer controlled servomechanism could fix that.

Some gyros and an internal guidance system hooked up to side thrusters could conceivably work as well.

Hell, you also could make a MHD skin to absorb the energy of a blast to power any one of these scenarios, for something as simple as an air jet exit from the top to hold you down.

Explosive charges on the topside which are sensitive to extreme changes to your vector of motion will work too. Maybe too well.

Man, this gets dangerous quick!

I know how to do the gravity thing too, but I prefer the quick and dirty, like that last one. Imagine the looks on the attackers faces when they hit you while youre bahaing and you don't budge.

I'm tired now, but Ise gots more idears, so stay tuned!
