Armored Vehicle – Full Production Workflow

Project Overview

The goal of this project was to design and build a believable armored vehicle with real-world construction logic, suitable for use in both cinematic shots and real-time environments.

• Focus on hard-surface construction and mechanical logic
• Clean topology and modular structure
• Scalable pipeline: film / game ready

Idea & Concept art

The APC was designed for a human resistance operating in a near-future conflict against autonomous machines. It features an EMP-based weapon system intended specifically to disable robotic targets rather than engage in conventional firepower. The design is grounded in modern military engineering, prioritizing crew protection, mobility in damaged environments, and tactical flexibility. The model was created as a story-driven, production-ready asset prepared for animation and further use in film or games.

References & Research

Reference research focused on modern APCs, suspension systems, exhaust placement, armor paneling and functional details.

Blockout & Construction Logic

Early blockout focused on correct proportions, wheelbase, suspension clearance and functional placement of major components.

Modeling – High & Low Poly

• Subdivision-friendly topology
• Logical panel separation
• Game-ready low poly variants

Rig & Technical Setup

To support animation tests and cinematic shots, the vehicle was equipped with a custom rig focused on suspension, steering and wheel constraints.

• Independent suspension per axle
• Steering constraints on front axles
• Non-destructive setup for animation and layout
• Scalable for cinematic and real-time usage
• Clean naming

UVs & Texturing

UV layout optimized for consistent texel density and reuse. Materials designed with flexibility for cinematic and real-time shading.
