I turned on smooth preview for the renders Chirone. Even though its supposed to be low poly I like looking at it as if its smoothed out.

Another update to show the work I put in over the weekend. The good news is that I'm right on schedule with how long I'd thought it would take to get this far. Who knows I might actually Finish this challenge!;)

Also the back has been left open because he's going to be getting a backpack towards the end of the modeling process.

That looks bloody good mate!!! keep it up!

cheers bullet

very cool - looks a like someone from Zelda land, but very nice modeling. Would be nice to see some wires

Thanks again for the compliments guys! Tweety here is a wireframe of the zelda-like robo guy :) You know looking back at it the game was very zelda like only with turn based combat so it works! Anyway back to work!

Thats nice and neat wiring mate..well done

cheers bullet

Reminds me of optimus prime

That`s right - could not pin it down what it looked like before - but yer the face does alittle. Still a kick ass model though - loving the armor

Thats cool that you guys pegged Optimus Prime. His face (the toon version) was what inspired me to do the lower half of the face. I figured I could squeeze out a few less polys that way and keep it simple. I find I tend to try to do too much and get bogged down in the details.

On a slightly different note your comments got me brain storming in the wrong direction. But let me share my randomness... a what if comic of Transformers in the Roman Era... :D

Yeah it does look like there is a bit of optimus inspiration there :) I like it.

i think you need to make something that transforms then :)

Chirone don't give me ideas that will derail me from actually finishing! I might actually try that then get so sidetracked I'd never finish :)

I haven't had much sucess with my first few attempts at arms. But I finally got something workable that I'm happy with. So hopefully I can finish the forearm and hands by tomorrow/Saturday and get started on the legs.

Nah she's just trying to take out the competion :P i like how its coming along

Looking good. Planning on texturing this?

I always thought Chirone was male...>.>

Oh Definitely GecT. While I might not get to that part for the competition I think I want to move it to the WIP section for texturing and lighting and a final render after its all said and done.
