new mech just for the battle haha
 
Yep this is to go against tadpoles because I really didn't like the other one haha so think of this as an upgrade and 13th resident it got alot of goodies to it to tear it apart, I have claws to grab when close range and also like a gatling gun arm with two laser guns and missiles that come from the top of the mech when it opens the missile pods and wheels that pop out at the bottom to move on roads easier and a turbine engine in the back to make it go faster when on road, highway or street as well as electro magnetic shield to keep the bullets from coming in haha, I'll take some more renders for everyone to see whats it's armed with. c&c are always welcomed :beer:

13th_resident 15-07-2006 11:51 AM

awesome nightz. i think his arms should have a slight likeness of dr. octopus in spiderman 2. what i mean is that it'll be cool if he can stretch his arm 10 meters or so. or maybe it can already do that..hehe. this is just the thing to confront tadpole. lol.
another thing. if you ever lose your legs he will still be able to fly around and shoot. cuz your boosters are on the pod type of thing and not on the legs.

how about backup.. your previous mech that you made in your other thread could be just the thing.

now we just have to wait for tadpole reply on this. hehe.


how bout a name for this nightz?

tadpole3159 15-07-2006 03:14 PM

Some Guy 16-07-2006 01:24 AM

Cool model. I like the desighn but one thing that bothers me it the couloring. It is a bit too dark because so you can't see any detail. Good work though :)

nightz9 16-07-2006 05:09 AM

haha yeah i should do that 13th and a name? haah you can give it one because i'm bad at naming things. haha tadpole got the arms i see and a flame thrower lol tahts good but i'll see wat i can add to beat that ;) . thanks some guy and i'll try some lighter colors because it is too dark haha.

tadpole3159 16-07-2006 07:30 AM

yea i'm gonna fix my textures to to make it green or sumin the blue is a bit to :eek:

nightz9 16-07-2006 08:29 PM

oh tadpole this baby is fireproof haha and hey i liked the blue on your mech it looked good but i need to change my color too to make it lighter haha heres something lighter someguy, i tried a grey like look and a white one and oh 13th i added some doc oct like arms hahaha thanks for the suggestion :beer: .

nightz9 18-07-2006 05:01 AM

thanks i'll stick with that color and those arms :).

tadpole3159 20-07-2006 08:11 AM

sorry i havent got into this thread much but i have been trying to get into college so i have been busy creating a demo reel but i got in yesterday and the guy recons i could finish his year long course by christmas :attn: but now i'm focused, fireproof hey? what will i need? hey here's a good idea i'm making a new robot to smoke your a** (since yours is fireproof i don't thing i could smoke it but you get where i'm coming from) mouhahahaha........

nightz9 21-07-2006 12:34 AM

it's all good and that's good news man :attn:, btw when you get that demp reel finished i gotta see it because when ever someone posts one i check it out :). lol i get you and we'll see you just take your time hehe but i'll be looking forward to it.

tadpole3159 21-07-2006 08:50 AM

sure you can see it but i never followed a tutorial or any thing i just slaped my video's and photo's together >>click me<< and i hope your robot is fast nightz, hey does any one eles wanna join in, i can kick all of your behinds just creat a robot and post it here

nightz9 25-07-2006 05:34 AM

okay nightz, sorry couldnt answer sooner. i just got back from holiday and have been working out myself. but hey iam back.

so anyway..
i really like the model. and cool you also added the oct arms. i wonder what tadpole next model update or weapon will be??

Quote:

i can kick all of your behinds
ummm well perhaps so but i'd say maybe nightz can do yours with half his mech A.I. tied behind his back.. hehe jk.
and a name... well actually the first name that came up was "Mechausarus". cuz i was thinking of dinosarus the prievious day and perhaps have some sort of likeness to it. after all your mech is big. so i thought it'll be cool. but others also came to my mind like, Semi - Monster, 4 Legged Crab Stampers, Octo-Pod-Killer, Mean Machine. and whole lot of other dumb ones. i came up with a suggestion. but its not like you have to do it. its your model after all. in the pic that i uploaded there are red circles. i think you should add some detail there cuz its rather plain/empty. add something like a laser gun or wires or boosters or whatever. well thats all i have to say for now.. i'll be waiting for a reply.

cheers

tadpole3159 26-07-2006 07:47 AM

thats for looking at the reel, most college student have never seen 3d software so even my reel means i'm better than every one eles, hehe my robot rocks it's friggin huge,is your robot metal of graphite or sumin like that?

shouldnt this be moved to the battle arena?

pixelsoul 26-07-2006 06:59 PM

woei very nice i love it :p also how did you get the vector render so nice?

Also can you tell me how you made and rigged the tentacles?

nightz9 28-07-2006 08:55 AM

sorry i couldn't get to everyone sooner but i've been a little busy hahah.

13th resident: hope you had an enjoyable time :), lol i should animate it just to show some of the things it could do and i like octo pod killer lol, i'm not good with names thats why none of my models have any. hmmm soem boosters will e good but rockets also haha and some type of reactive armor or something lol but i'll put something right there asap ;).

tadpole: top of your class that's great :), my robot is huge too haha and it's got gundanium alloy lol! j/p but it's made of metal neo titanium muhahaha. should this be moved to the battle arena?

pixel soul: thanks and i used the mesh gradient with include edges for the outlines and it took about 3 hours for a single frame lol which is waaaay long compared to the others only taking about 3 mins lol. for the tentacles i used nurbs torus for each of those metal joint parts then converted them into poly's and smoothed them to get a smoother look and some sculpting in poly's then i used a cyclinder with subdivisions around axis 20 and subdivisions along height 50 and made it longer in scaling to give the arm more articulation or the arm wouldn't bend right and the cyclinder is the purple part you see in the arm, i lengthened the cyclinders to match the length of the arm then i jointed each one of those metal joint parts from end to end and used ik handles with ikscsolver in the solver attributes for twist and i didn't go joint to joint with the ik handles, just from one end then the other end instead of joint to joint which would be hell animating but will give you more control but i wanted it so that it could bend when i push it back but im not good at explaining lol as you can see but i tried if you didn't get anything let me know :).

nightz9 29-07-2006 03:30 AM

pixel soul i did a two sec. animation of the arm for you to show you how it animates.

tadpole3159 29-07-2006 11:01 AM

grrrrrrr...stop upgrading the friggin robot, i have scraped 3 arms and weapons already!!!:headbang:

nightz9 04-08-2006 04:41 AM

lol i think the boosters will probally be the last upgrades for me and i'm working on another robot for a sort animation fighting against it to show what it can do but i've been busy and havnn't had much time but i will get right to it though the frames will take some time haha and i will probally animate it in xsi once i get used to it because i see it's good for animation and it doesn't slow down like maya after so many poly's so i will be able to work faster but first imma finish the boosters up in maya and the other robot for the animation.

hkorenaruto 04-08-2006 12:30 PM

wow thats amazing!! you made taht with maya :O i wanna learn how to make things like that.. that would be awesome!:eek: :eek: :bow: :bow:

http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/5203/newrobotpu4.jpg
so what do you think, ne needs legs and a top of the mouth but then it's the easy textureing bit. i read a few tut's on textures and i'm getting much better at them, weapons are...



like i would tell hehe :attn: have fun with your animation

hkorenaruto 05-08-2006 02:27 PM

WOW very nice.. put some colour on it and smackbang :D

nightz9 06-08-2006 05:15 AM

hkorenaruto: thanks :) and it shouldn't take you long, just try your best and you got it :).

tadpole: lol i thought you'd come back with a killer robot hehe and i've been through a couple robots myself to counter yours haha but i'm down to two choices which you will see one soon ;), haha i never been good at texturing so i don't even try but yeah he needs legs unless he hovers but if not then he good as scrap metal lol, i'm looking forward to your weapons hehe :).

tadpole3159 06-08-2006 07:56 AM

scrap metal hey, he's gonna eat you for breakfast (hence the big mouth) YOUR GOIN DOWN! :rant:
oh and here is PART of his new engine

tadpoles robot was a tutorial in 3dplace. if you want to make a "cool" robot i would suggest to that one. it is rather cool (i put a screenshot of it). i dont know if you actually make the flag and seleton. click here
to get to the tutorials menu. click on maya then scroll down till you find "The Dreadnought Tutorial for Maya - Beginner to Intermediate."
hope that is what your looking for. :nod:

tadpole3159 07-08-2006 04:46 PM

glad your in the know 13th. but the second one is all my own work. OK!
the tutorial on 3d-palace is all good but i scrapped it cause it looks sooooo slow. I forgot to ask you to join in coldfire it's tonnes of fun but i suggest you don't do the same robot i did. I will post an update as soon as i cba to open maya again.

twisteddragon33 08-08-2006 12:48 AM

where is this battle taking place?

And can anyone join?

:), i havent made a mech in quite a while.

tadpole3159 08-08-2006 07:53 AM

may was well take place here and any one can join in just start making!! and then we could make a animation of them fighting or just show them off, to show i'm a better modeler than all of you :nod:

nightz9 12-08-2006 05:56 PM

i've been trying to post these pics since the last two days and i'm glad that sm is back! :attn: so heres my booster add on thanks to 13th resident for the idea.
