Artist's Comments

Finally done with this project, and what a project it was. This is by far the most difficult model I have made yet. Maybe I will add textures one day, but it wont be for quite a while. [Full size= 2560*2048]
I know that the text in the middle is hard to read (unless you download the image), so I will post it below:
--------------------------------------
Dynamic Tracked Tank (DTT)

Role: All terrain, high-speed interceptor

[A r m a m e n t]:

Twin 20mm Vulcan Gatling Guns
-Rate of Fire: 6000 rounds per minute
-Range: <2000 feet
-Role: The Vulcan cannons are very effective
in destroying both heavy and light armor
at close range. Because of the guns' high
rate of fire (combined 12000rpm) they
are typically fired in short bursts.

Twin Rocket-powered Harpoon Guns
-Rate of Fire: 13sec reset time
-Range: <2300 feet
-Role: Each harpoon is made from a super-strong
titanium alloy that, in conjuncture with
the small, shape charge in the nose, allow
the harpoon to pierce even the hardest
materials. The harpoon can be fired into
enemy targets to draw them in and simplify
aiming. Alternatively, the harpoons can be
fired into the ground to perform high-speed
turns. The entire weapon is reusable.

Double-Barreled 40mm Grenade Launcher
-Rate of Fire: 80 rounds per minute
-Range <2.8 miles
-Role: This weapon is mostly used for long-range
bombardment. the rate of fire allows for
a "rain of grenades" effect to be sustained
for long periods of time. Each barrel can
be loaded with different types of charges,
including armor-piercing, incendiary, napalm,
and fragmentation rounds. The grenades can be
thrown up to 3.5 miles away, but at these
distances, accuracy is compromised.

[T e c h n o l o g y]:
The DTT sports a number of features to assist it in the field. On
the right side of the chassis, there is a small parabolic dish. This
Dish is used to locally jam all radar, effectively cloaking the vehicle
and any nearby friendly from the electronic eye. The antennas on the
left side of the chassis are used for communications- the shorter one
used for terrestrial communication and the longer one is used for
satellite uplink. The hull its self is made of a material that reflects
radar and also masks heat. The shell is semi-permeable, allowing the
exhaust to be vented evenly, avoiding heat blooms.

[T r a c k s]:
Each joint in the tread legs is powered by individual high-torque
electric motors. One tread has enough to support the weight of the
entire tank on its own. The dynamic driving base allows for a level
of freedom never before imagined. The treads can be used for
everything from positioning the vehicle at a certain angle, to
performing half walk/half drive to get over obstacles.

Awesome piece of work. I really like the transparent nature you added to the glass that
didn't seem to be on the original model. The different poses (do you use that with a machine?)
you have it in as well as the environment you designed are equally impressive.

Super Job!

So learn all you can, because
someone may need what you've learned.

Thanks a bunch! I guess you still could use the word poses because the machine is a little animal-like by design. I changed the windshield to be 50% transparent at the last second to try and make it stand out a little, but it turned out better than I thought. Glad you like it!

I love the final effect =D. Looking forward to your buggie!
:iconfrenotx:
Glad you like it. It will probably be a while until I get to work on the buggy, though. I have a rather involved project I will be doing for my literature class that will be absorbing my time.
