Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

I tried doing a small battle between nids and space marines over last summer, but It just didn't work out. If you would like a storyboard, I recieved a professionally made one (colour, beautiful drawings) from a guy who was interested on this WH40K forum. I can refer him to you if you would like a very well made storyboard.
ARe you going to have any other unit types? What army will they be facing? If you need help, just let me know. The Skullcrusher mech is about my skill level right now: https://forum.simplymaya.com/showthre...5&pagenumber=2
If you need help with modelling a dreadnought or anything, just pop me a PM and I would be glad to help this short film become a reality.
And one last thing - the pipes and pistons in the middle will look something like this, correct?

I've rigged that mid section for my mech so it rotates on the sphere in the middle and the pistons expand etc.
SO yah, if you need any modelling / rigging help, I can help!
Just a personal question but do you play the tabletop game as well?

To awnser youre questions:
At this point Its not necessary, Im the only one really doing anything atm but I will keep you posted.[/i]
Well im planing on making 2 marines, an Assault Marine and a Tactical one. Chainsword and Bolter respectively..and I think ill either make them fight a lot of orks or Chaos marines (since the base is the building block for all of them)
Thanks Man, ill definetly keep you posted, but im planning a rather simple model as you can see I wont be adding much in the way of detail in the abs and such..textures will do that for me. Like I said on the first post...I want a clean efficient and good looking model..simple as possible.
Nah I play DoW 2 in the high lvls tho, ive never seen that kind of a fan base here in Brazil..too bad though I would like too lpay the tabletop game.

Small stuff but I got no time so this will have to do for now.
Arms done (they wont be visible for the most part, so they are fine)
Arm Guards are done...simple design
Added the Abs and a back plate to the buttox that starts from the belt, plus the usual tweaking, pulling and pushing of points.
Ill try to get hands and shoulderpads for monday or tuesday.
Then Backpack and Helmet..then onto small details. Will keep you guys up to speed.
I think its looking clean and topology is good, what do you guys think?

Tactical Space marines dont usually come packing Deamonhammers and Teleporters.
But the art is awesome, whats your chapter?
In ICT there are two kinds of people : Technically challenged artists, and artistically challenged technicians.
I am, without a doubt, the latter.
