>> PROJECT – DC2 Virus Kart <<:// INTRO
This project was a bit strange. I was looking for something to model which would be a bit higher poly than I was used to at the time.
I threw around a few ideas, but as usual, scope-creep started to set in. I somehow almost ended up modeling a skate park which I had planned to send over to Robomodo.
Unfortunately I trashed the skate park idea.
Who knows, maybe that could have gotten Robomodo and myself talking?

That’s a Robert Rodriguez reference for those in the room.
I was watching Planet Terror when all of a sudden I saw it, standing off to the side behind Bruce Willis. The DC2 Virus Cart.
I searched online for as much reference I could find, but dug up nothing.
I then broke out my GrindHouse DVD and started getting screenshots.
There’s really not much to say here, except that I did make the asset “game-ready”. Looking at it now, I might have been able to lower the detail in the mesh to give the model a smaller memory footprint.
The textures and materials could have been brought up a little more I think. Especially the reflectivity.
Although, that might have destroyed my Dell had I tried it.
