yep, it was just for fun, even though i made a
3ds2vxl conversion on ppm.
But since i wanted to have a high resolution image of the mammoth ever since TD, i recreated the mammoth in 3dsmax using all official pictures i could find. Though unfortunately i haven't found many in a higher resolution showing some additional details, which would allow me to improve the tracks or add some other details.
But in the end i'm still quite pleased with the result.
Oh and if we once have Hypers new patch for TS, allowing to add SHP units with 32 facings, i'm sure i will make a SHP of this one.
P.S.: if someone has any suggestions how i could improve this, please let me know. I could actually imagine to keep on working on this one until it looks like a photorealistic render, even though i've never done a photorealistic render before.
\EDIT
one step closer to a more photorealistic version
