Description:
The Dauntless is a fictional vehicle which can transcend most of the challenges that limit traditional wheeled or tracked vehicles.
More description and directions in the enclosed ReadMe file.
Also I am not entirely certain that the textures were packed successfully so I have attached a folder with all of the textures
I wasn't able to devote as much time as I would have liked on this, so it isn't perfectly complete.
Here is a video that shows the design progression

Written September 27, 2011You probably need to point blender to the appropriate textures in the attached folder. The only things that ended up needing textures are;
1) the floor needs the hexagon texture.
2) the body that the cabin sits on needs the Dauntless texture.
3) and the platforms on the body need the circular holes texture.
It seems that if a texture is called out but cycles cannot access it, it will crash. At least this is most often true in my case.

Written September 28, 2011This is technically outstanding. Your design is great, your textures are well done, wheels are beautiful. It looks kind of showroom (which is OK, I can't knock you for that) but my biggest issue is it feels kind of Lego. Something about the scale seems to make me think it's small. I guess it probably needs some detailing, small screws, rivets, fine lines, to give it the look of a big wheel truck., or some scuff in the materials.
Really though, please dont' take my comments wrong, it is very impressive!

Written September 28, 2011Very impressive and detailed modelling. I wonder why you have a majority of it displayed as "wire" in the 3d view? Does that improve performance for some computers?
This thing looks like it would be just as at home in an open pit mine as it would a battlefield. It would be awesome to see it decked out with some weapons and armour. And at first, from the screenshot I thought it was more like an ATV size vehicle, but it's actually huge.

That's pretty legit dude, I wouldn't be surprised if this won.
