You should add pipes on the tanks, like modern tanks. I like the wheels.

Maybe add a machine gun in the front somewhere. Nice model.

yea maya is alot better but its also really expensive (unless you get the PLE). the only real problem with maya is that you cant export as .x or .3ds so its not really usefull for creating models for darkbasic but i suppose you could get some sort of converter. actually that reminds me, does anyone know of a program that convverts .mb(maya binary) files into .x?

it does? how much does milkshape cost? it might be worth getting it just for that. anyway, here is an updated version with a machine gun as requested but im not sure what skalex meant by pipes(exhaust?). added a floor just for fun.

I like that. The whels are relly nice. If you dont add textures you should work in the chassis solid. The lines are very "argesive".

Sorry for my bad english.

you can download a trial and i think it will still let you. otherwise i think its 30 dollars but the registration code is really easy to find on google (too bad I learned that after I bought it...)

You could always try Deep Exploration, that program accepts just about everything and exports to .x

google it...

Maya is only better if you know how to use it. There's no point in thinking "if I use Maya my models will be better", because they won't. If you think that, chances are your models will be better in Milkshape 3d.

But it depends on whether or not you're doing high polygon work, or low polygon (games and sutff, which is what Milkshape 3d is geared at).
