Reworking the tank

That's pretty good. Did you have to manually create all those random bricks or did you use some sort of duplicate and noise feature?

The greeble plugin actually. A real timesaver

I had one custom greeble shaped as a brick. You just select some of the surfaces you want to cover with bricks and the greeble plugin do the rest. I also rotated the custom brick to get different resoults. also the random seed is a good thing to use.This is one of the settings I used. I had to sett the size to 50% on this one or the bricks would have gotten to big. And then its just doing the proses over until you have covered the ground.

Now on another note I have changed the ground texture. I wasent to pleased with the first. I think this one is better.

The most jaw-dropping feature for me just has to be how you got the chains to hang realistically.
