September Challenge - Drozador- SupaNoob
 

I've been doing 3d modeling for about a week and a half now so dont expect anything crazy good, and im sure i wont finish because i dont know how to texture or anything but i really wanted to work on a model and this contest provided good concepts for me to work on my skills. Im doing the last concept with the robots.

This is what ive got so far, took 30-40 minutes maybe?

Welcome. Glad to see you here modeling away dude! Can't wait to see what you can do. It looks like you have a good start so far.

And before I forget, welcome to SM!

Thanks alot man!

Alright I want to model the barrel of the gun at the front of it and try to append poly but i tried and i cant figure out how it works. Is it possible and how do you do it?

EDIT* nm i figured it out...

Really need help on this, I can't delete that edge in the picture and when i mirror over it is screwing me up. Anyone hav ean idea on how that can be fixed?

Select edge, then goto edit polygons > detele edge

I assume that doesnt work?

If that doesn't work, there might actually be a tiny face there.

Yeah, with practicaly no surface area. Might be a plan to try and select that area with faces active and see if it grabs anything.

Thanks alot guys, it was just a little tiny face in there, i thought it was some huge problem or something lol.

Heres a little update....

It's 6 am here, im tired as hell spen about the last 4 hours on this and im pretty proud of it. I'd appreciate any C&C you guys can give. Keep in mind that this is my first model.

Well, without further ado, here it is......

neat!

Yeah im definately not gunna finish this one in time but i will finish it for sure. This is my second robot, kinda based off of a beetle. C&C appreciated. This one is like 1450 tripolys so it its under the recomended polys, my other was a tad bit over.

here it is

ooo..i really like the beetle one!..my thid one is a beetle too! a rhinoceros beetle though hehe..youll see, once i get my server back up

How about some pokka dots!:D a little more 'plumpness' might resemble a beetle more, too.

I had it more plump and it looked to much like a lady bug, so i thinned it a little.
