THE MACHINE (work in progress)

From long I was fascinated by games in which u can just ram your vehicle , take it on high speeds and just still manage to survive...(*midtown madness)

I started thinking of a game where you can thrash zombies ... customise your ride..

make different set teams

I wanted the vehicle to b powerful and how it can b built to survive anything

I started conceptualising by making a basic conceptual ramming truck using maya as my base modeling software

The front was designed as a train and the rear as a crane , but as i kept on getting more ideas, train conceptualisation changed into a thrasher machine and rubber wheels changed into tank wheels..

I finally ended up with a more aggressive and fat beast:

IMPORT INTO ZBRUSH

Zbrush gives you the total control of the model
its no doubt an excellent tool to sculpt in the details..

I sculpted the basic metal injuries into the model over time and settled somewhere here

then I gave the base paint to basic material:

I kept the colors which I liked and started tweaking the others

Majorly the wheels and some other metal areas

After placing some dirt and scratches on the base paint of wheels i moved to the main body of the truck

Spotlight was very useful in combinig different textures to give the seamless look to a body paint

With it i could start giving life to the truck..

I wanted to b an old rusty one which has gone through alot but is still standing strong

I also wanted to give the feel of the environment it runs in

The striped number 11 came to my mind when i thought about the driver (gamer) who would be driving this big boss

I wanted the model to come to the generally look appealing to a crazy fun loving rider

...as i mentioned 'midtown madness' before...

Here..

I am nearly done ,

Now the lights (up and below), rusted yellow at the back, and a new fixes in some sub_tools would add the remaining effect to the ZOMBIE THRASHER sculpt
