Yes everyone, im a sad 3d loser: im making a big mofo robot!

I love the detail that these robots have, so ive decided to make one up and see if i can get some basic animation going. First step is to actually make the thing though!

Here is my start with the legs:

The scale is going to be screwed up because im working off random photos i find on the net so some things will shrink while others grow during the production cycle!!

Love the detail

Keep us posted!

Hey - it has the magic words attached to it - Warhammer 40000! This is certainly going to be one WIP to watch. Nice detailing so far!

Shawry · 25-06-2004, 07:00 AM

Ok here is a small update. The proportion is really looking off now, and ill be shrinking the feet once i finish the torso off!
Not sure which weapons ill give the dreadnought though, any suggestions?

Shawry · 26-06-2004, 09:22 AM

updates ahoy!

awesome job!
If you keep stuff up like that you might be Blur Studios material!
My friend made alot of stuff like that and they actualy asked HIM. Quite impressive.

That is mad man keep up the good work.

Shawry · 29-06-2004, 11:53 PM

I havent done too much on this model for the past few days because today i am picking up the actualy Dreadnought model from one of my mates who plays WH40k. so i can get a bit more acuracy into my model.

Couldnt help doing some animation any though! Walkcycle is done and now playing around with the flag physics:

Roux · 30-06-2004, 12:48 PM

No words...that rocks!!!
Textures?

Shawry · 30-06-2004, 01:32 PM

Textures are on their way! I got carried away with animating its walk cycle and stuff.

Anyideas how i can make an effective muzzle flash for the machine gun? Ive tried modelling one, particle effects and volumateric lighting but i cant get a nice effect!

Roux · 01-07-2004, 08:30 AM

Could just try a lens flare with lots of points that is tied to a blinking light..... May give you what you want?

Shawry · 03-07-2004, 08:46 AM

Just a minor update today. I've started a few textures, just the main armour panels, but they still need a bit of work before i post them here. Photoshop is far from my strong point!!!

Roux · 03-07-2004, 10:34 AM

Very neat model. How do you do your micro bevels?
