the wheels look really good, and so does the front part of the tank. The treads look a bit strange from this angle, and the turret could use some work. But it's a great start.

If you want some pointers; the biggest thing to ask yourself is "what is this for?" If you are going to render it into a 2d image or convert it to a voxel, then the poly count is not too important. If you are making it for a game (like Generals) then you must work within a certain limit. Once you do that, you're golden.

Use 3ds2Vxl program, I believe its located here at PPM

Amazing, especially for a first attempt at 3d modeling! Very Happy

That's a great job for a first attempt and the wheels look great, however try to keep the amount of detail consistent, the wheels are quite detailed but the rest has to match. or alternatively reduce their level of detail to match the rest.

For coloring (well that depends on your Python script) but select the vertices of the area you want to texture and unwrap it using the U Key then go to the scripting screen and change it from Text editor to UV/Image editor, then open whatever texture you want and Bobs your uncle. For coloring the rest just rinse and repeat.

There is another way to texture but you will get inferior results.

Hope that helped.

3ds2vxl is your only bet for converting over to voxel.

And the turret could have a larger diameter, and maybe a TINY HAIR taller. It'd be superb to my own opinions then.
