What do you expect from unmanned turret?
I thought there is enough space for loader, shells, wires,...
Driver is in the front, the rest is in the back (however there can be place for 1-3 men in the front). Only small hatchway connects these two parts which are both separated from turret..

I'm working on it, but i was very busy, so there is still not much to show and i'm unsure if i can finish it till Monday. But i hope so. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
Since we only have one finished entry and it looks like PaulZy might not finish, making it a one man comp. I'm extending the deadline one week to the 21st.
Great work by the way PaulZy Last edited by SDKH on Mon Sep 21, 2009 12:15 am; edited 1 time in total QUICK_EDIT
Its just a week, and that's so it's not just your entry.
there's no point in a comp with just one entry or it's just not a comp. But if you really want your entry removed I won't stop you. QUICK_EDIT
Well you extended the bloody deadline for so long, I've been waiting for this to be over with for ages now.
I don't see why it's so hard for people to model something after this long. I could have done numerous models in this period, and yet there isn't a single entry done besides mine and Crevio's.
Extend the bloody deadline, heck, give LKO 3 more months while you're at it. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT
agreed.
i thought i would have some free time after the 10th september, but it got even worse.
But i can understand Joshy and i'm fine with 21st being the final deadline, even if my submission might be unfinish. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings

Joshy finished his model,
crevio had here his model, too,
same vefbl4 (and I wonder how his model ended).
So if I am right: there are 5 participating models now.
I'll make what I can till original deadline,
I would lie if I said I wouldn't be happy with some extra time, however school starts on Tuesday + I need to make some necessary things.
So the 21st September is OK to me. _________________

Great work partyzanPaulZy!
You obviously put a lot of work into it. The detail is awesome.
Just one more week and it would be perfect (e.g. rivets on the angular track hull in the front)
The proportions are a bit strange on some parts, but other than that it's a very cool model. (e.g. imo too big rear lights and boxes on the rear tracks)
btw, what's the name of this beast?

I wonder what will happen with this...
it will be finished, then the necessary parts ordered on ebay. Finally i'll build an army of them and take over the world.
No serious, it will be of course added to TI and replace one of the vanilla or conversion SHPs. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
Aye. well, things happened I expected to have this in sooner. :p
Thanks SDKH, despite this contest ran into similiar issues that plagued others before...
Anyways my belated entry.
Praetorian Ant.
During the giant ant infestation it was reported specialized variants of the warrior ant, where found within the inner sanctums of the ant colonies and near fledgling colonies. It is speculated by their concentrated numbers near any queen and other royalty, they serve as elite guardians and task masters. Their role appears to be an agent of control, commanding the will of the royalty to the numerous swarm and that of a highly specialized form of support. Any lower caste worker within proximity of a praetorian will heed its call and guard it as if it where the queen itself. Leading that nest expansions of great significance will be guarded with a good number of praetorian guards.While also they have been seen engaging in incursions runs, fulfilling the role of "shock trooper" as well. This is believe to be their psychological functioning is heighten as during maturation, while the younger serve more of a combat role, such as "shock troopers".
If threatened the praetorian will whip any nearby subordinates into action utilizing their specialized pair of antennae as an electric whip, further aggravating a swarm into a ferocious frenzy. While alone they are highly aggressive capable of high voltage bursts of electricity, armor crushing set of jaws and what few claim to be limited forms of telekinesis and rumors of mind control.

None, I am omitting as I used a simple bump with just a simple color shader .
Concept/Inspiration.
Process
Modeled and textured in ZBrush via Zspheres. (textures omitted due to quality ctrl)
Post rendering in 3ds Max and composting in PS
When I started out this contest, I had no idea. I really was pumped and I had this idea of modeling a human character. I didn't want to do a soldier. At first I was thinking of the RA1 Tanya how she was really a civilian resistance fighter. Then I though of technicians to those crazyly armed civilians. There where a lot of unexplored opportunities I felt. From Nuclear tesla monkeys..to a crate tank. Imagine a light tank but smaller and kinda made out of wood.
I wasn't sure. I had left for a week on a trip and since then I been sketching what to do, while I didn't settle on anything, nothing pulled me in or really everything did. Later as I posted my inability to keep up, yet the RA1 crate was a symbol.. I hated admitting it though.
And watching another comp, slowly fizzle, I just got a spark. after much practice with ZBrush modeling abilities. This sped up my production indefinitely. While I'm still getting the hang of it, I felt confident I can create something in what was the last day of the comp.
I started thinking what I could do, while my original ideas where too unwieldy to produce in such a short amount of time.. I recalled the giant ant missions and on the RA1 skirmish map Island wars eXtreme featured a rare blue ant...I took that and sorta fleshed out a back story to and quickly began modeling right as I posted my comment..I was shooting to post later that evening but I was unhappy with the texturing and had to hold of production to figure out what I could do. instead of the more detailed/realistic approach I opted out for a simpler scheme, keeping in flavor with the RA1 ant sprite. _________________ Delirium..

That's at the same time a strange, funny and beautiful model Ickus.
Too bad that due to the fine parts it can't be SHPed and added to TI _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
OK comp officially finished, well done to those who finished.
A few more entries than what I expected so that's good. Unfortunately since I thought that we'd only have a couple of entries I told our third judge not to bother, so right now it's me and machine. I think the two of us is enough however 3 would be better so if a respected member of the community with a bit of 3D know how wants to be our third judge just PM me in the next day or so and we'll get things sorted.
I'll set up a public poll for a week to get a fan favorite, and once that closes I'll try to get the final results to y'all ASAP. QUICK_EDIT
