Did you use path deform for the tracks?

Great work. How'd you do the detail on the tread?

---

Just sub-d modeling

Here is an updated image from this morning. I still have some detailing to do and also add tension shocks to push the swivel bracket into place to keep tension on the treads.

I'm always looking for extra work. I work full time, but fill in other time with helping my wife with photography and the occasional web site.

Fair enough, so 3d is just a hobby for you? Or would you consider working for a studio at somepoint?

Dreams, Dreams, Dreams.. Yes, just a hobby.. I would love to do it for a living. I have too many kids to support to be able to dive into a new career..lol.. My treads are finished.

Fair enough, well in a way I think that is better. I fear that people who ending working for large studios will end up loosing the love for art as it becomes more and more of a daily grind.

Looking good man. Well im off to bed it is 2 am here.

Looking good Rick, Can't wait to see this textured and all.

---

Chris

Thanks.. Yes.. I have a lot to work through on this. I'm going to have to draw out the rest on paper before I can hit it anymore.

Niiiiceeee.. I like the detail so far. feels great to have so many detail on such a small program already.

---

Thanks John...

Here is an image of just the body for the base and treads.. This is all one piece.

I had to post another image. The detailing is coming along nicely. I've added, what I have dubbed, "The Power Core". This is represented by the caged glow that sit under the body of my robot. As you can imagine, the poly count is getting quite high...lol

---

Rick

Looks awesome. Really detailed.

Yes, you cannot get around the poly count, but I always think like this. It's not for a game , [this far ] So I don't see any problems adding even MORE details

---

The details are just great. Only two crits I have at this stage are,.. I'm having a hard time getting a sense of scale, and the drive chains (or whatever you call them) are kind of small compared to the sprockets and wheels.

---

Chris

dually noted... I've been meaning to make those wider. Thanks.

Good work dude. I like the no blue one a lot more. I am not sure it works with the model.

For the power cell or the lights underneith?

---

Rick

[Link to www.3dartconcepts.com]

Both, It could be that the rest of the model isnt textured and so lighting at this stage looks odd. Also I recomend that you go with the second to last viewpoint because it give the bot a good sense of high.

I'll leave them for now until I get the textures done then. I've got a long way to go before I can hit tackle that...lol

---

Rick

See if these chains look better.... I widened the chains and put a shell modifier to give it a little more volume

---

Rick

[Link to www.3dartconcepts.com]

Wow that is drastically different. I think it might work.

Crickey, excellent detail Rick. I can understand why you don't want to animate it.

---

[Link to www.3dprevis.com]

Well, I was going to mix in a little humanoid look to it and here is a sample.. but I'm scrapping that Idea...... I think I'm going to make a fleet of base model and give each one a different weapon...

---

Rick

[Link to www.3dartconcepts.com]

Excellent. Not happy with just one super High res model Rick goes and makes a whole fleet.

---

[Link to www.3dprevis.com]

lol... I did widen the model some or should I say, spread the outer treads a little more away from each other.

---

Rick

[Link to www.3dartconcepts.com]

The chains look much much better. Is it human size? Some of the camera angles you've used make it look huge.

Are you completely scrapping the humanoid type thing?

---

Chris

I'll probably keep it and play around with it.. I've got some good idea's for it, but it's a lot of work of it doesn't pan out.

---

Rick

Lovely work man, nice updates.

---

Thanks

Rick

Here is the direction that I am going with the first model.. ROCKETS...lol

---

Rick

[Link to www.3dartconcepts.com]

Rockets RULE!!

---

Chris

Nice idea with those missiles.

---

Thanks... Here is the finished product.. Minus textures of course.. I'll do one with a canon, one with a gun turret & one with communications.

Rick
