Oh he's going to need some camera time when it's done. Animation + details, never mind texturing. I can't wait to finish the modeling and start showing off more detail. The rigging is going to be tough, but SO much fun. Thanks for the comments. I dunno what is up with the cone. I think I might have accidentally effed up some normals. But it's ok, its just there for reference and size placement at the moment.Originally posted by GecT
This is looking pretty good, though I don't know why the shading is like that on that cone thats hanging there. I'm guessing this guy is going to be having some decent camera time.
Unfortunately not done the modeling yet. But I am keeping at it, as every hour spent equals another hour done... or atleast of experimentation lol Problem is now, I design a new piece that doesn't fit the look. So I either go back and redesign other parts or I have to go back to the drawing board for the piece I was on. More to come tomorrow.Originally posted by Bluethunder
Thats good so far!
Though, the sketch looked like it had some more bits and pieces on it.. Have you not modeled those yet, or did you decide not to?
Awesome job so far. Looks amazing
Yeah, I think I spent too much time looking at the bland AO renders. I'm going to start texturing some pieces and see if I can achieve the look I want. I'm not planning on the round corners, as that would limit me to MR.Originally posted by GecT
I think you feel that way because its an AO render and it has no textures yet, dunno if you're going to use the MR round corners texture either to bevel out some of those hard edges. I'm not machine expert but from observation, a lot of them have some sort of embossment and/or extrusions on the body or the large flat areas so that could be adding to why you think something is missing.
Well, I've been looking at all kinds of machines (construction) and watching starwars, the matrix, and the likes for reference. I think I am going to go for a Dark Steel look/feel. Dirty, and used. Chrome or Black chrome for the hydraulic pistons. I think I'm going to stick to a dark grey/black at the moment for the bulk of the body parts. Add some decals for colour. But I'll update that as things start to happen.Originally posted by Ruff
