tch tch…:trout: I’ve done another render with the torso partly textured. I’ve been fiddling around combining some light HDR use with the maps, perhaps the paint can give a light reflection and the rust remain dull… anyway here’s the render: ---

ironikart: I officially hate you just as much as I hate Edwin. 🙂 by the way… did you ever render other views of the other Mech-robot you made? :):):):):):):):)🙂 ---

It shouldn’t be too hard to change the colour once I’ve finished the model. The materials are all .psd files that I’ve made myself, the underlying colour is a separate layer. :: - I rendered 1 other view (only slightly different because I skimped on the modelling): ---

hmmm… I might insert a bit more detail there to make it look more rounded. I was a bit undecided about what to do with that. I was just going to cover it, but I think I’ll fix it first. ---

you could extend that part out and make a logo or a symbol. Would look pretty kool, if not, yep make it rounder. ---

I smoothed it out a bit by adding more edges. The edge tools in Max 3 aren’t the best (no edge loop or any of those nice things) so I can’t put too much more detail into it without creating some funky looking poly’s. I must say this is coming close to some of the best work that I’ve done so far. ---

> \*Originally posted by Soulty \* > \*\*nice , turning out very nice, hope your animating this !! :beam: \*\* hehe… yeah, I hope so. It’ll be a short animation, but the way I’ve set it up so far I should be able to rig it to a biped without too many hassles. ---

thats why you model with one mesh. hehe, but dosent matter, as a static image i will look awesome, though it would be great to see this robot and the other one you made in some sort of fight. :beam: :::edit:: I read your last post incorrectly. lol ---

I was thinking of a static image like the ones from the warcraft series of games where the orcs and humans stand face to face. I’d have to use a different robot model for the adversary because the other one is on a much larger scale and doesn’t really have much posability (or personality). I wish I had more time to do this stuff… it’s getting to the point where I want to make it more than just a hobby!:nerd: I’m coming to the point in the modelling now where I struggle. Hands and feet I find the hardest to make convincing… I probably won’t be able to continue with it until next monday though… real work awaits me!:sigh: ---
