Re: CORE Radar truck +1
Hmm, I dunno, maybe it's the top view, could you make a non top view image?
Also, are you going to work on the jammer after this? If so tell me, I'm working on a jammer atm (like the core one) and if you like it you can use it, I think it'll be done in a few days.

Re: CORE Radar truck +1
I think it looks brilliant.
Re: CORE Radar truck +1
Love it.
edit: shopping carts work because you (the pusher) are the center of mass. Notice how hard it is to rotate a shopping cart when it is heavily loaded, while it remains easy to push it forwards? That's because the center of mass has moved to the middle of the cart, so you're trying to twist it with poor leverage.
On a tank, the treads are perpendicular to the center of mass - they're directly to the left and right of it. On a car, the wheels are not. This is why a Segway can turn like a tank, but a Jetta can not.

I love the bendy hinge version
Re: CORE Radar truck +1
Did some more tweaks to it, got rid of the lobsterclaw front wheels and made them inset, and did some changes to the rear drive end and radar parts.
Wheels and tracks are lined up now too, and the dish is much bigger, so I'm going to go ahead and start unwrapping this.
1270 triangles.

MUCH better, looking forward to see the texture.

Re: CORE Radar truck +1
Looking good. I think the radar could look a little more evil though, it's looking a bit like a bow-tie at the moment...
Re: CORE Radar truck +1
More evil? Look at that cockpit, its like a crocodile.

maybe a simple radome, but people like moving bits.Warlord Zsinj wrote:Looking good. I think the radar could look a little more evil though, it's looking a bit like a bow-tie at the moment...
So i say it's fine.
Re: CORE Radar truck +1
The most "improvement" you could do would be match it to the same type of radome/arm used by the Adv Radar Tower. Design isn't very practical, but...smoth wrote:maybe a simple radome, but people like moving bits.Warlord Zsinj wrote:Looking good.

Re: CORE Radar truck +1
The other reason being that a Segway can rotate its wheels independantly of each other, and only has two of them. a jetta has 4, only 2 are driven, and they cannot be controlled independantly.Pxtl wrote:This is why a Segway can turn like a tank, but a Jetta can not.
a better example would have been a Segway and a motorbike, or a Bobcat (4 wheel skid-steer digger) and a Jetta
*cough* hinged works irl too
Re: CORE Radar truck +1
I liked the first one if it could turn or not wasn't an issue it had more character in my opinion. Plus who knows what technology they would have in those days to turn things.
Re: CORE Radar truck +1
/me likes it.
Especially the radar dish is better, because in the first concept it was wayyyy to small!

Re: CORE Radar truck +1
I liked the visual of the 1st one too, it had more personality and looked like a big metal Bullfrog, but it wouldn't have been able to steer apparently.

Re: CORE Radar truck +1
the 1st one was the best, everyone in this thread other than me is dead wrong!
Re: CORE Radar truck +1
I liked the second one - 1st-style front with the added swivelling body. Best of both worlds - looks good turning, and has the nicer shape.Machiosabre wrote:the 1st one was the best, everyone in this thread other than me is dead wrong!

Re: CORE Radar truck +1
I really liked the first one, it looked really "out there" and something exotically advanced like you'd expect to find millions of years in the future being fielded by a central consciousness army. The second one is pretty cool, but the third looks "less" advanced.
IMO the first fits with the overall theme better.

Effing A!
Mr. D, your third version has restored my will to live. The old radar truck was so hideously ugly that I could never bring myself to use it. Now it will be a centerpiece of my strategy.
