Jan/Feb - Huxley - Noob
 
Well... I guess I've been playing around with Maya long enough without actually producing anything. So it's time for me to try a challenge.

My concept is going to be a laptop computer capable of kicking serious a$$.

I can think of so many special moves for this guy that picking just one is going to be a real pain!

Wish me luck!

Cheers! This will be a fun project.

Dropping out... I made a start and didnt get so far as work deadlines have piled up and I'm only getting a couple of hours a night to myself.

Well, maybe you'll find some time before it's over. :)

rich 28-01-2004 02:31 PM

Maybe... we'll see :)

if not just make a stick figure. at least youll then have stuck through to the end.


After all, mines only a stick figure... although titanium... with lazers....

rich 28-01-2004 06:24 PM

lol... I dont want to be a quitter! If I can get something going at the weekend, I'll stick it out..

Thanks for the encouragement. :)

no problem, just dont beat me too bad. Your laptops main attack could be a computer virus, i think there are about 4 mechas being made...

Well, I decided to go for it. But I politely have to ask Mike if it is within competition rules to change my concept. The laptop concept, although good, would take a great deal more work than I had time for. So, I would like to try something a little more "traditional".

My new concept is a Manga Fighter... a Manga style warrior... kind of mech-ish but we'll see. Hey I'm a noob... gotta do a mech at some point right?

Anyway, I spent an hour modeling the legs this evening and here's how it looks so far:

Legs look nice. And from other threads you can see changing your concept is perfectly acceptable.

Nice mecha like manga charactor so far. Im surprised to see how many mechas are in this competition already.

Cheers! I've got a lot to do to catch up to you twisted :) But as far as this evening goes, I'm gonna hit the hay... 2am here and gotta get to work in the AM. Tomorrow evening I'll work on the groin, chest and arms (in that order).

twisteddragon33 04-02-2004 02:30 AM

Yeah. I did have a little head start on some late entrees here. i was a late entree myself. But its been one steady learning curve the whole time.

We model are mechas the same style, legs up(discounting my current mech).

Yours so far reminds me of a NGE mech. And ive seen some of your models. You will catch up to me in no time.

OK, here's the latest update. I didnt get home from work tonight until about 9h30 so didn't have a great deal of time. Anyways, made a start on the torso....

mtmckinley 05-02-2004 12:57 AM

cool, keep it up!
