M-kay, since I can't upload videos here, I'm just gonna put a link to a Youtube video I made of a modified Battlezone II sabre tank done in ZBrush and 3ds max I started by converting the original .xsi model to a .obj format, importing it into ZBrush, and messing with the geometry until I liked the way it looked. Then, I exported it as a .obj again and opened it up in 3ds max where I copied some of the vertices on the hull and moved them up. Then, I deleted some of the ships faces around those vertices (since you wouldn't be able to see them) and created more but this time having them connected to the new vertices to give the ships hull a ridge effect. Then, I duplicted the ships cannon over to the right and rotated it slighty. After I repositioned the new cannon, I duplicted and flipped it onto the other side. The last bit of modeling I did was to extend the ships cockpit to the very front of the ship, because the pilot wouldn't be able to see out very well sitting in the back with three cannon barrels above him Finally, I went into the material editor and applied two different images I found buried deep in my BZ2 installation folder. One of them I assigned to the cannons, and the other to the rest of the ship (excluding the cockpit, which I left white). It just took a little bit of tweaking the tiling and positioning of the textures to get it right, then I went to Animation > Make preview > (in WMP) File > Save As... and I was done! (well, except for adding music and whatnot...)

[link] Just a heads up: I wasn't going for realism or anything in this. Just a simple low-poly model with a simple low-resolution skin, since I'm trying to see if I can get this thing working in-game (which I have, but for some reason when I spawn one of these onto the map, there are a few problems: the textures are messed up, a few of the cannons are white and transparent for some reason, I can't snipe the pilot or tell him to give me his ship so I can't pilot it... but at least I can tell it what to do, where to go, and it still fires at enemies )

_{And yes, I know that you can apply for permission to upload video, but you have to show them ma video of yours first and it can't have copyrighted music in it. Which this has.}

Hmmm... Not much else to talk about except that I'm expecting a new CPU cooler to come in the mail soon hopefully it'll keep my computer from overheating and crashing whenever I play L4D and BioShock
