Red Alert 2: Apocalypse Tank Model

The Apocalypse Tank 3D model showcase. The plan was to make an animation that I had in mind but the track rigging in Unreal is proving more difficult than I expected. So I've decided to just make this video instead and try to figure out the rig some other time.
I based this design on Soviet era tanks such as T-10 hull, T-62 tracks and wheels and also proposed ST-2 for that turret. And rocket launchers are Nebelwerfers because... reasons! Alsooo, there's some confusion about the cyrillic writing on the turret, means hvasta3d and that was my old Instagram handle just written in cyrillic alphabet.

Pretty nice "realistic" interpretation of a fantasy tank. It look like it could have been an Objekt from one of the many design bureau from the Soviet Union in the 50's.

[@omkr0122]

The closest we got to the Apocalypse Tank is the ''Object 490B''.

[@saadvideoguru]

that is the most beautiful thi8ng i have seen in a looong time. and your decision to base it on real-life soviet projects? oh man, *chef's kiss*

[@forickgrimaldus8301]

IS 2 based on the looks but IMO the IS 10 would have been better

[@piscessoedroen]

@@forickgrimaldus8301 isn't it already a t-10 with the pikenose?

[@spectre2296]

You kids should go to Warhammer 40K and see Baneblade. After that you will see your beloved tank as a clown

[@twink127]

​@@spectre2296your Baneblade is nothing against the might of the Necron empire.

You're models keep on getting better and better. Keep up the good work, comrade!

[@h3d_animation]

Thank you, will do :D

Имя танка ”Хвастадз”😂, бляяяя как в старых американских фильмах набор русских букв напишут в имени, или названиях, и с серьезным видом, типа это русский😅

[@verybestplayer4578]

Только хотел это писать

Хвастазд, что это за слово такое?😅

[@edificemail8776]

Моделька отличная, но этот загадочный русский язык, как обычно это бывает набор букв и новое слово🤣, надо его запомнить.

[@blakejohnson6362]

Beyond incredible. I love all the little details like the shovel and extra ammo boxes. Phenomenal work.

[@h3d_animation]

Thank you :)

[@Nekron2804]

а что у него на лобешнике то написано?

[@Nekron2804]

Рандомный набор русских букв. Западники с русским языком не дружат слишком сложный

[@kellereclub3828]

There's also a single barrelled Apocalypse in the game cutscenes - it had no AA missiles, no frontal ram. And was an alternate counterpart to the Rhino that was scrapped from the game. It would be cool if you could model that too.

[@papamike88]

Now I'm pissed off that Border Model did not make their Apocalypse tank model kit in a similar fashion. I see so many parts from T-55, IS-2 , T-34 and they all look sooo soviet. I would love to build this one now ;)

[@buenasnoches2]

Its a T10 Chasis with IS4 turret and Yoh tracks, so beautifull.

[@ВацлавДонатис]

ST-II turret.

[@GreeverLol]

Всё круто, но, как русскоязычный человек, не могу понять, что значит надпись на башне? Какая-то бессмыслица.

[@ZloyDivan]

Хвастазд? Это вообще что означает? Надо писать: for mother Russia!

[@Qbed]

Nice!

[@minhvo8009]

Looks like a T-10 + IS 4 + ST-II

It is

Looks like an IS-series hull with double barrel IS-2 Turret 😁

[@SnowOwl0101]

This is a beautiful render. I appreciate the detail you put into your work.

[@Billy_Harrington]

0:22 чёрт, а я гадал, что же это за слово, ХвастаЗД, а оказалось что это название канала на кирилице...

[@ShengTheCraftsman]

basically WoT's IS2-2 , nice modeling btw , I also built a realistic Apocalypse Tank in 1:16 scale

[@emrearslan1]

just WOW! Keep it up I am really amazed by your work 🙂

It looks like it can be real, true to life Red Army markings, amazing

[@_aquamarina9308]

Look like World of tanks has remodel of this, name is IS-3 II or something

[@Procrastinater]

Going off 20+ year old memories, weren't the apoc tank mammoth tank big? Remember a cutscene of them on the bridge where they dwarf some school busses.

[@The136th]

Actually amazing, especiall how it has some callbacks to actual IS-2 in some parts, especially the turret. But... what on earth хвастазд supposed to mean?

[@juliuscarlopoblete2092]

the RA2 apocalypse is the best looking tank in RA franchise... imagine if those machine guns work as anti infantry...

Still, the model is cool.

hi: a weapon with two barrels seem impractical. It is heavier with twice the material. Just make one big barrel instead. Whoever designed this wasteful setup was no genius. Wasteful
