d.seed Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 In Europe they've been around for a long time and there are tons of models to choose from. The Rosenbauer Fire Apparatus. This is my first real attempt on creating a complete model by myself. Up to now I think it's working out pretty well although there are a few tricky bits. Currently I'm trying to model the grill on the cab which is proving to be quite a task. Here are a couple of pictures, I'll be trying to get updates on how it's working out to you guys! I'd be glad to get some feedback and tips to help me get on track! http://www.emergency-planet.com/uploads/monthly_2019_06/Cab_01.thumb.PNG.9dc5ebb62ae9b5ad84ad11e54adb69cc.PNG http://www.emergency-planet.com/uploads/monthly_2019_06/Engine_01.thumb.PNG.9516de19a14349f7ed24b7af673cd3dd.PNG 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmC-Unit Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 It looks good! Not a lot to complain about. Try to use less polygons to finish small details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d.seed Posted August 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 After two weeks of holidays in Thailand I'm all refreshed and fit for some more modelling. My plan to work on the Rosenbauer during my vacation was hindered by me forgetting to load it onto the laptop. Instead I started a new Model. There will be a few models with this cab. hopefuly I'll get the Rosenbauer done soon too. Â Points to anyone that can guess what it's going to be.

itchboy Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 To my eyes, it looks Asian like a cabover Isuzu or Mitsubishi truck. It could also be an American M1078 but that's just me stretching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTFD286 Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Is it the Rosenbauer Avenger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d.seed Posted August 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 @itchboy Cabover's very close but it's very much american. It's a 1988 Ford Cargo. The body is a hazmat body as used by the Sunrise FD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THVFD Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 @d.seed when making a model check the backface culling box and the ambiant oclusion box. It will show you witch way your polygons are facing with the backface culling one and, the ambiant oclusion box will show your edges much much better. See the attached image!
