First attempts

Thanks, David! I’ll check that out for sure. I’m pretty satisfied with the way the paint job is turning out this time. I painted and repainted probably 20 times before I got something I was halfway happy with. But knowing the way I am, I’ll probably be tweaking this forever.

My last post was more accurate than I thought. I’ve been tweaking like crazy all evening, trying different mats/colors etc. Finally ended up with something I am really happy with. This is way better than I ever thought it would turn out. Hope you guys like it!

I couldn’t resist posting one more render. This one with no environment, just the stand. Also changed the position of the Watchmen smiley face.

Hi,

Check out this tutorial. Might make a nice material for your Mech.

zber2 thanks for your comments. I’ll definitely try the methods in that tutorial out on my next project. This one I’m really pretty happy with as-is. Hoping to get some comments one way or another at some point. I love the way it turned out, but really would like to hear what others think about it.

You know I have to comment. But, been working on my piece and, today is my B-Day. Will comment later in the week. However quickly, me likes-:wink:

Happy Birthday! Now you’re only one year younger than me… for 1 month and 8 days…:smiley:

That’s a great suggestion for this mech Zber.

Mech is looking good voodoo.

Happy BD Dragon.

Thanks for the BD wishes gang-:wink:

And I’ll be at your post later in the week as well EZRA52, the seats looking great. Time to start using that ‘stitching alpha’??:+1:

Figured I’d post a finalized character sheet when I realized I’d really only shown the model from two angles.

Concept stage of a new gun. Not sure where I’m going with it, but the thrill is in the journey, not the destination.

:+1: zbrush is not just for monsters !

Agreed, Gary.

One for the road. Still not sure what I’m gonna do with it, but it’s nice to have around if I ever need it.

Replaced the old guns with the new ones I did last night and took the whole thing back to bare metal.

Hi Voodoodad. I love the new look. For some reason, looks more ‘real’. The new guns are a very cool addition (nice work on them). Would love to drive this thing-:wink:

Thanks, Dragon. To me, the old guns felt too rounded off where the new ones (based on the venerable M60 machine gun) are more blocky and seem to fit the overall look of the mech better.

Another day, another weapon.

A little color… a little grunginess… a little ammo remaining display…


What is it? Well, I know it looks like a basketball with some stuff cut out of it, but what is it really?

Hint:

Open the pod bay doors, HAL.

I’m afraid I can’t do that, Dave.

VERY rough first stage.
