Toys 'R' Davey.
 

Hi,

In a drive towards improving my modeling skills, I'm going to go through a Toy modeling Phase. I have all of this toy ref around me, so I may as well take advantage of it, while it's here.

Note: These models are not my own designs, but using them for practice and not financial gain.

HI Fallenswordsmen,

I asked Lwwiz to post for me coz I was having puter trouble, hehe.

Been messing with HardFX for nearly 4 hours now. I am alot closer to what I want now.

I have zipped the 30 meg QuickTime file to get it down to 12 meg.

Looking very good Davey, just one question: why do the top 2 beams on Lofty have so many polys compared to the rest of the vehicle? It appears a little overkill for what is needed!

EDIT: Love the little animation as well! The HardFX truly is a wonder to play with. Im playing right now!
Try if u can to get the car to accelerate down the ramps and at the end it should roll further, unless it has rust axles. ;)

Hi shawry,

Thankyou. The top 2 beams are like that coz the first one is circular at the base, although, I supes the second one could have alot less. I'll mess with that to decrease the polys. Thanx for crit.

I need to mess with the HardFX thing more, till I get it rite, thanx.

Hey...I know these models inside out as I have seen lots of footage [have 2 young boys :) ] Brilliant mate...love the kiddy cartoon feel to your table and chair...Lofty as well as Roley look super cool.

Nice hardbody dynamics.

Hi scarabrae,

Thankyou. We in the same boat, hehe. The Table is based on an Ikea table that we bought for our kids.

Hmm - missed a couple of updates here. I like the transition from Bob the Builder to the TMNT. Are you using real toys as refs for these?

Hi Fallenswordsman,

Thankyou. I'm using real toys.

Don't know if they're meant to be like this, but the central set of (for want of a better word) abdominal muscles look a bit flat. Otherwise, looking good.

Leonardo's head doesn't seem right. it looks like its just sitting on the neck. And his grin seems too strained... Other than that, I loved the Bob the Builder toys. Good job dude!

Hi Zeeman,

Hehe, yeah, the head does sit on the neck. It's a toy. I'll post a pic of the toy soon.

Yeah, I'll work on the grin, thankyou.

Cheers for the crit, plz keep it coming : D

Hi,

Going to leave this thread here for now. Not happy with where this model is going. Maybe I'll have another shot at it when I am further along the learning Curve.
