Models By Malx

[grizzled valve]

Currently doing UV's for leopard
Type 16 still needs some model work

[shell nova]

Haven’t you been working on this for like months

[grizzled valve]

leopard yes, I took a long break wasnt working on it. I just started to work on it again yesterday.

[shell nova]

Can't wait man

[odd pasture]

Looks really good !
Will it be RHS dependant ?

[split compass]

I could be wrong but don’t think it will be

[odd pasture]

I hope.

[split compass]

Ngl hope not gonna be dreadful downloading more mods for DG

[grizzled valve]

no

[fringe osprey]

[shell nova]

[ancient folio]

This project dead I thought it was started months ago ? Serious question

[grizzled valve]

^

[shell nova]

Do you just not know how to scroll up?

[gaunt flare]

Phew

[untold scarab]

Add a block of cheese please

[fringe osprey]

Random question, will the commander be able to operate their own separate gun?

[grizzled valve]

Leopard 2A6 doesn't have a commander gun

[grizzled valve]

Only ceretain varients of the 2A7 have them, like the 2A7PSO and 2A7HU

[fringe osprey]

Gotcha

[grizzled valve]

I don't know why they never put one on the 2A6

[grizzled valve]

Wip might completely redo textures

[gaunt flare]

That's a bit hot

[quiet widget]

Will this have an interior?

[grizzled valve]

yes but not right away

[quiet widget]

Ok cool

[lean timber]

will there be a version without the RPG/slat cages?

[grizzled valve]

yes

[lean timber]

sweet, 11/10

[fringe osprey]

Looks amazing bro, out of curiosity how many other versions will there be?

[grizzled valve]

In terms of Leopard 2A6 Variants

[fringe osprey]

Yeah

[grizzled valve]

Probably not many, I would rather just make a whole new tank for now.

[fringe osprey]

Understandable, after the leopard I presume you’re gonna finish up the Type 16. Do you have any plans for other vehicles?

[ancient folio]

Will it have camo nets on it and a German log ?

[grizzled valve]

T80BVM or sprut

[grizzled valve]

I will put camo netting on it but not right away, camo netting also has a lot of vertices

Those textures also are not final

[fringe osprey]

T80 would be awesome

[odd pasture]

BVM 🤤

[eternal lodge]

Is any ETA for this insanity ?

[obtuse ledge]

Gonna be using that leopard with the german armed forces mod 💯

[shell nova]

Will we get a MG3 on the top as a turret

[tender basin]

too glossy
same size and amount of "edgewear" generator all around. Looks like a toy
no stains, dirt, contact shadows, no color deviations.
surfaces look plasticy due lack of details such as big grunges

f.e lets take this photo

lets bump up contrast a bit, aaaand, take a deeper look. We can see some wear or dirt/dust accumulations here

huge dust/dirt buildup above side panels. and almost no edge highlight at all. Or very little with huge variation in size and intensity all around

[tepid crypt]

I hope u end up doing a challenger 2

[tender basin]

or here. Lots of stains on sides

[ancient folio]

I’m pretty sure they are bringing their own

[grizzled valve]

ik im going to reedo textures

[tender basin]

well, you asked for feedback

[grizzled valve]

Yes I see thank you

[shell nova]

I mean a factory fresh variant would be pretty cool

[quiet widget]

Idk it'd look sorta odd

[shell nova]

Eh maybe a little dirt on the bottom, but like no rust and stuff

[gaunt flare]

It's a lovely looking model, look forward to seeing how you progress. Some ppl expect you to be able to run straight away in modding, but it's a gradual progression of learning.

[grizzled valve]

Only part I really have a hard time with is texturing

[high coral]

@grizzled valve are you gonna do the ol layering scrolling textures for the tracks?

[grizzled valve]

Yea probably will just be a texture

Still working on textures, I don't want to release this and the textures look like dogshit.

[simple crane]

Hello Nexus, still hopeful I see😂

[narrow turtle]

Any update?

[grizzled valve]

atm I just dont have the time to finish it

I will try to hand off the model to someone for texturing

Sorry for giving you guys false hope, that wasn't my intention

[supple sphinx]

let us know if you want the thread locked at some point.

[pine bolt]

Any updates?

[supple sphinx]

as you can see theres no updates

[pine bolt]

I saw him post something in another server so idk

[supple sphinx]

we try not to ask for updates. people who make stuff post when they have something to post.

[grizzled valve]

It was just a rerender

I have to rebuy substance painter so when I do that tomorrow ill texture it again.

[shell nova]

Thanks for not ripping it like the fallout devs lmao

[supple sphinx]

~~Bethesda dont pay for their tools? ~~ nevermind. not related to the channel

[shell nova]

Erm this isn’t the right channel I’m gonna have to ban you for a small mistake

[grizzled valve]

got substance painter again

[worldly elk]

get it through ur university

easily save hundreds on that shit 🙏

[grizzled valve]

i got it already

[worldly elk]

gonna get blamed for ripping WT with this lod

[grizzled valve]

Could be better

Im missing the suspension

[high coral]

It has no suspension??

[worldly elk]

eh hardly visible anyways tbh

looks better than the wt model imo, granted its rendered differently. how many polys?

actually, why is the barrel so short

[modest horizon]

Bc the one he made is an a6

[worldly elk]

and what would the alternative be?

[modest horizon]

This is an a7v I think

[grizzled valve]

That’s not the 2a6 barrel length idk why it’s that long there

[grizzled valve]

No the 2a7av hull is different then that picture

[pine bolt]

Don’t burn your self out on malx by trying to put every single detail on it

[modest horizon]

Just looked up some images and saw that the regular Leo 2a6 has a longer barrel than the 2a6m

[worldly elk]

thatd make sense thats a 2a6 model

[grizzled valve]

2nd image is a 2a5

It's a danish one 2A5DK

[modest horizon]

I'm no leopard expert is for certain

[grizzled valve]

I mamde the same mistake

[modest horizon]

Lol

[worldly elk]

god damn dawg, who are you even making this for? what modder needs this lod wtf

[spring tartan]

Fartgru

||(I play their servers religiously)||

[worldly elk]

i know hes giving the model to darkgru and wcs but, im wondering who commissioned it in the first place

[spring tartan]

That's a great question

Maybe it was for like a movie or short if the LOD is as high as they say it is

[formal kite]

Pretty sure it was darkgru

Since the first updates were on darkgru

[grizzled valve]

No one really "commissioned it", It was my idea to make the leopard, and I had a blockout of the model started before I even knew what darkgru was.

I will be giving the model to WCS as well

[worldly elk]

Sell it regardless and just give dg and WCS licenses

How many polys is it?

[quiet widget]

Sell it? Thought mods were just free?

[deep arch]

You cant sell mods but you can sell your own models that you made

[quiet widget]

Oh that's what was 'e meant

[grizzled valve]

Still wip

Lighting hiding a lot of details like footprints

[fringe osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/pls-please-beg-spongebob-squarepants-oh-yes-gif-16908975

[obtuse ledge]

Give me

[tender basin]

make these details pop in roughness then?

[pine bolt]

https://tenor.com/view/ineedit-needit-spongebob-squarepants-need-it-gif-4883495

[grizzled valve]

Like dirt and stuff?

[tender basin]

Like if some kind of detail becomes less visible under different lighting condition, toy around with roughness or maybe metalness on the layer you want to pop

[grizzled valve]

Ok

The dirt i have at 0 metal and .5 roughness so I’ll turn it up higher

[grizzled valve]

Is it bad to add a bit of height to dirt

[tender basin]

nothing is bad

just make sure that height values are not extreme

[worldly elk]

gyatt

[formal ore]

That is hot 🔥

[worldly elk]

you plan on making a wreck model? 😉

[split compass]

Ngl this might actually be the best model I have ever seen for a tank even topping WT absolutely amazing work

[grizzled valve]

I wouldn’t go that far 😂

[carmine nebula]

Comm on you have to

[grizzled valve]

Erm

I think I’ll leave that up to darkgru and wcs 😅, I think I was told that they have an easy way to do it so

[worldly elk]

i mean from the way you had it in blender you def could

[lone siren]

so now the dread begins (interior)

[grizzled valve]

Nah that’s the fun part

Interior really isn’t that hard

Only annoying part is finding interior images, would be easy if I still had sb installed.

[lean timber]

sb?

[grizzled valve]

Steel beasts

Game that has detailed tank interiors, good for reference.

[worldly elk]

WT always has okay interiors

just for general layout and details ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[bold ravine]

how do you see interiors???!??!?!?!

i need to see myself in a gunners position on my M1A1 AIM

[high coral]

It’s on steam?

[formal kite]

You want that m48 interior don’t ya

[high coral]

GO AWAY 😭

😏

[formal kite]

Did you find something

[high coral]

Naw they only have like modern tanks

[grizzled valve]

No not on steam

[formal kite]

What’s the game on them?

[grizzled valve]

https://www.esimgames.com/store/

[grizzled valve]

@tender basin r u good with substance painter

[tender basin]

I dont know

[formal kite]

Is the type of 16 being worked on or…

[worldly elk]

Yah has been for months now, it just seems the leopard is closer to completion

[grizzled valve]

Type 16 still needs some model work done

[cedar trench]

great work my man

[grizzled valve]

Making svd attachments as well

[hot wraith]

https://youtu.be/QMbSfHGCrGU?si=ZGZorfrOmjAcwV_Q

Not really a stil image but some good references

[grizzled valve]

very helpful thank u

[grizzled valve]

If anyone would like to help with interior dm me

Only if you have experience with modelling, or have pictures/videos please.

[gritty owl]

What Leopard is your model, Leopard 2A6M right? i will try to find some references for you 🙏🏽

[gritty owl]

I have this references from the L 2A4M if this could help you out.

[grizzled valve]

It's just A LOT of modeling work to do for 1 single person

while also working and doing my own stuff irl, the interior is something that will take a bit

[fringe osprey]

Perhaps release it without the interior and add the interior in the future? I know a lot of people have been waiting for this (me included lol)

[pine bolt]

That could be a idea just do what you feel is enjoyable

[ancient folio]

True

[grizzled valve]

I think I can do that for dg, for WCS vehicles need interior

[fringe osprey]

That would be nice 👀. I know majority of the servers don’t rely on having the interior (not saying it wouldn’t be greatly appreciated lol)

[supple sphinx]

please give makers space to make their stuff. asking to rush things creates unnecessary pressurre and is harmful in the long run

[fringe osprey]

I wasn’t trying to rush him, just merely an idea

[vocal tide]

@grizzled valve was wondering if you have made anymore progress on the svd, since it has been a little bit since you started. But no problem if you shelved it for now.

[grizzled valve]

I stopped making the hand guard because I don’t have a model to size it to

It’s a hand guard that kinda sits over the receiver so I don’t wanna finish it and it’s way out of proportion

I’m just going to focus on finishing the leopard interior

[vocal tide]

Alright was just wondering, thanks for the info

[grizzled valve]

Commanders main controls

[pine bolt]

Hot 🥵

https://tenor.com/view/tank-firing-gif-4876479667962493758

[simple ridge]

This looks pretty sick

[lean timber]

https://tenor.com/view/tank-beer-leopard-balance-gif-16835281

[lone siren]

only 20 other small screens left

[grizzled valve]

Tell me about it

[grizzled valve]

The goal is to have the interior finished by the end of February

I've been slowly chipping away at it

[primal kite]

Take your time Good things will come to those who are of patience.

[halcyon remnant]

i thought this was for mtc

[grizzled valve]

They said I can use the model for this as well

[formal kite]

What’s that

[halcyon remnant]

roblox multicrew tank combat 4

[grizzled valve]

I have more finished now this photo from like 2 days ago

[pine bolt]

You seem pretty close to done

[grizzled valve]

Still need to finish drives seat

Place some wires and tubes and fill in some missing stuff

[pine bolt]

Sounds like your going to beat your release schedule

[formal ore]

Looks great !
Cant wait to jump into that 🔥

[split compass]

Ngl this might be one of the best quality vehicles iv seen might even be giving war thunder a run for their money lol

[grizzled valve]

thank u

[next venture]

Canadian leopard?

[grizzled valve]

Yes

[next venture]

Yipppeeeee

[grizzled valve]

https://www.twitch.tv/malx762 I stream modeling here

[grizzled valve]

im live retexturing it rn

[grizzled valve]

need to look for better patterns

[lone siren]

finish and polish camo are alright

[halcyon remnant]

new cold war vehicle

[odd pasture]

Poland don’t use Leo 2A6Ms, and Finland is using 2A6FIN version.

[lone siren]

they only differ on the inside

[odd pasture]

Malx is making the interior of the tank

[lone siren]

yet he's asking for the camo

[grizzled valve]

Im doing the whole tank

[grizzled valve]

now with tracks

[analog kraken]

this is sick

[halcyon remnant]

New cold war vehicle. Cold

[grizzled valve]

Feel like lighting killing the textures, idk

[pine bolt]

It’s good to see this mod go from nothing to leopard 2a6m

[lone siren]

looks fine to me

[rigid salmon]

Cant wait for epic tank battles 😍

[tender basin]

this is what lighting does, always prioritise what you have in game over substance painter viewport or studio render in lets say marmoset

if you feel like some important details are lost in day light, just bump them up untill you're happy.

[winter haven]

Any idea when this may be ready?? Haha no rush ofc just wondering as its looking sick asf 😂

[winter haven]

Thanks man sorry for the bother 🙏

[fringe osprey]

No bother at all

[winter haven]

Quick question this is for reforger correct?

[fringe osprey]

Yes

[winter haven]

Many thanks saw a arma 3 hud in one of the pics lmao 🤣

Looking to eventually port my stuff to Reforger, your stuff is gonna look awesome in Reforger

[vast flint]

Any updates

[quiet widget]

Is the Leo2 still being worked on?

[quick kindle]

gerb

[vast flint]

I don’t think he will ever come back

[quick kindle]

leopard is still being worked on dont worry, will come out in due time

[vast flint]

Oh okay, did someone take over the project?And can we get some pic of what’s new?

[odd veldt]

Still being worked on by the same people.

[vast flint]

Ohh cool, thanks for replying

[sonic bison]

Looks like the greek leo

[ember harness]

Is this the same mod that is on the Workshop called the Leopard 2a4m?

[formal kite]

no

[ember harness]

oh is there a release date for this one?

[formal kite]

No

If anything it’ll be released as a wcs mod

[ember harness]

ok

[vast flint]

https://tenor.com/view/i-need-it-give-me-please-spongebob-kadoe-gif-10113776836763716484

[inner citrus]

any info if the dev of this mod still working on it?

[formal kite]

no clue

[still snow]

I will finish the leopard after the btr)😉

[formal kite]

You’re gonna finish his leopard?

I’ve never heard of this

[sturdy lodge]

THANK GOD

[still snow]

I'll finish my leopard) and I don't know about him

[sturdy lodge]

as for the 2A4M yeah I am in contact with that dev and there is work still being done, but hes having copyrught issues woth bohemia rn

[formal kite]

What

[sturdy lodge]

misunderstanding

[formal kite]

What leopard are you talking about?

[sturdy lodge]

the 2A4M hence why I said 2A4M

[vast flint]

what is the copyright issues?

[sturdy lodge]

supposedly its a war thunder model, but I've been told he has permission to use it (dont ask because I dont know how)

[vast flint]

ahh make sense, u can find a lot of wt models online but if he got permission all he has to do is show the email right

[sturdy lodge]

Yeah that’s what he’s working on

Hopefully he gets it because having a Canadian 2A4M and 2A6M would be fucking nails

[pine bolt]

He made that from scratch if I remember

I’ve watching for like a year and half

Aleast I thought

Maybe I’m wrong

[sturdy lodge]

The 2A6M yeah I believe so

[quick kindle]

Malx makes all of his models himself, the leopard will come when its ready for release

[sturdy lodge]

praying its soon

[formal kite]

Don’t hold your breath
