Looking great! Very simplistic texture, but it makes me want to see an entire game in that art style. I like it.

[WIP] M3 Halftrack
- Thread starter Twrecks
- Start date
I think the texture just needs more layers, dirty it up, show the metal imperfections etc. Otherwise it looks great to me.

Needs a good normal map.
Judging by the WIP you didn't make a hi poly model of the chassis did you.

All, 1st thanks 
Reminder, this is a "proof of concept", only a low poly, hack skinned, test model to see if I can get the suspension components to interact properly in game. So the "TOON" look is intentional at this time and will get polished after it passes its ground trials.
As to 30 or 50 cal? The 30 cal 1919 is already in game, so will possibly serve as a place holder until the Ma Duece gets done. But again, that's a long way off as I only get a few hours a week to tweak, and then there's also a small matter of player models to fill the driver/gunner/passenger slots. Plus if all goes well, I'd like a radio too!

If you do get this working, can you give it a Soviet paintjob? The USSR got a bunch of those as well.

To be precise, Soviets (and Brits) received mainly M5 and M2 halftracks, Soviets got only 2 halftracks of M3. Externally M5 was quite the same as M3, but it was built in a different factory with different quality parts. M5 had a bit less powerful engine and thicker thus heavier but less protective armor (face-hardened armor was changed to homogenous armor). These two things put together made M5 a bit slower and less protective to the crew.
But I think these things are hardly noticeable in the game

Well neither of them were bullet proof. A rifle round could penatrate the M3 at 200m. Let alone the M5.
But shh don't tell anyone.

Yeah, an AP rifle ammo would be able to penetrate those halftracks, but not a normal round. By the way, are those rifle caliber AP rounds coming to any mod?

BTW, the American Halftrack had the nickname of "Purpleheart Box", not very reassuring...

He decided to stop working on it.
He also decided to quit his job, sell his house and move to a yurt in East Mongolia.
Only logical reason for him not posting any updates.

Unfortunately Lemonater is being sarcastic, TWRECKS is quite busy with stuff so he is only able to spend a few hours working on it each week, knowing him, he'll get it done, and when it is finished, it'll be amazing.

My man cave is currently under re-construction. No, it isn't in Nepal. Will post something when there's something to post.

Someone is impatient and sick.
Perhaps sick because of being impatient or impatient because of being sick?
Or being a sour "Lemon"ater47. Hah, get it?
