Trapjaw (MOTU) W.I.P

Start of my finishing off of this challenge entry.

Here is were I left it - all the textures used for the final entry are going to be redone, once I finished the model itself.

what's MOTU mean?

dave: if he had an iron fist then he wouldn't be trapjaw...




that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

Glad to see you're going to continue this one.

What ever happened to the skeleton you did in our other comp?

"Um, this isn't Mars. This is Earth."
"Earth? Earth-with-nuclear-weapons Earth?"
"Yes."

Just been sorting out how the arm would work. Apart from the pistons in the shoulder (I have not set them up yet) I`m really happy that I think I built it in a way that would really work.

Here is a small video - nothing too flash just a quick test to show it all moving..

Video test (14 mb - Quicktime)

The skeleton is still on my old PC but I will be pulling it off soon as I want him for my Haz-Matt project.

I really like the cod wheel rotating when the arm turns, adds realism
