Body and Turret

Here is the turret and the body of the tank constructed together. Up to now my tank looks moderately decent at halfway of completion. It isn't state of the art at this point and is lacking in certain impressive details but you can tell what it is up to now.

Turret

Here is the turret and the cannon of the turret both standing alone and compiled together to be the top of the tank. To create the turret I create a cylinder, edited the scales and rotated it. The cylinder would have many segments so I could extrude and model the shape. Using the 'select and uniform scale' tool in the 3D mode I would make curves and more intricate details to the turret. Neither the turret body or the cannon are perfect and I did encounter mistakes in the creation of a lot of things on my whole tank but fortunately you can clearly make out that this is a complete turret and I'm not lacking in anything in the completion.

Tank Body

Here is the body of the tank which I followed (as well as most of the other stuff) in a tutorial sheet. As you can see the body is well structured but is simple standing on it's own. To create this I used a large box and to put it to the right scale and the right shape I made sure it had many segments so that I could extrude and modify the vectors and give it angles and shape.

Gears of War Trailers

Both of these trailers are exceptional. The second in particular is very abstract and artistic. I believe this makes it gives it a softer, sympathetic and more innocent side of such a violent game. Whereas the teaser is more violent hard hitting and I love it's use of 2D colours in particular. I admire both of them. Enjoy.

This is the teaser trailer. It shows Marcus in a chainsaw duel with a locust soldier and other violent attributes. To me, it shows how savage and bloody the Gears of War franchise really is.



The next trailer is the actual Gears of War: Last Day trailer. It shows Marcus, Baird, Dom and Cole preparing to be thrown deep into the underground to take on the locust horde on the front line of the war. It's very similar to the Gary Jules trailer in the original Gears. Both of which have relaxing and intriguing music to give the Cogs a more human and sympathetic side.

Whenever I think of 3D animation I always go back to The Lawnmower Man. Made in 1992 the year I was born it isn't the best film in the world but there are some parts in it which I found pretty unique. I also thought Jeff Fahey's performance in the film is drastically unappreciated. He was far superior to Pierce Brosnan in this movie. Overall it's an easy forgettable movie but the 3D virtual world element in this movie isn't terrible for it's time. This is where it all started...
