[DennisVR]

love it! what are you planning to do with it next ?

[gary-smith]

As I said over at 3Dtotal, great work on the modeling! It looks superb, keep us updated :D

[Segreto]

Am i correct that you got some inspiration from an octupus for the cockpit design ? :) looks cool

[chris89]

i really like it, and love the detail already. but judging by your mech wip it will get even more detailed :)

any idea's for a scene?

[Segreto]

update! let me know what you think so far. a bit more to the body and i will start rigging this thing.

repecT, Nicely detailed :D

did you model it mostly out of splines? also is that vray?

[Segreto]

thanks!

i'd say about 50% is modelled from splines, if not more. nope, thats just the basic scanline in max

[Segreto]

heres an update,

added a weapon, and some more detail at the base of the body.

[neonneo]

sweet, but you gave'm a dinky gun :D

[Waha]

Am i correct that you got some inspiration from an octupus for the cockpit design ? :) looks cool

it looks more like a strider from hl2 with an upper body of the Vulture from mechwarrior,

and that sure is a wee gun, load it up with a rocket launcher

[rgarza]

Very Nice!! I wouldn't mind being able to model like that.

[Segreto]

thanks for the great comments everyone! more weapons coming soon, dont worry

heres an update, started adding textures, just basic for now, no bump or spec yet. i think i might add more geometry to the feet, not quite as filled out as i think they should be.

hi segreto, nice spider mech, full of details. i m thinking if it can transform into some other form to avoid enemy eyes! :bounce: :bounce:

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Great work. **** dropped off. Goodnight everyone. :)

[Demonic Budha]

That is mad, kinda reminds me of Quadraxis from Metroid Prime 2.
I think the Chain gun is a cool gun for it, as a primary anyway.
Looking forward to an update.

[Tweekend]

...wow!!, i cant crit this, its superb in everyway! absolutly amazing craftsmenship, keep it up!

[Werner]

great concept! awesome modeling. Would be cool to see this one move and shake the ground with each step.

[Segreto]

thanks for the great comments everyone!

heres an update. im pretty much done with the modeling, maybe some touch ups are in order but this is about it. I plan on texturing him, but this wont come for a while as im working on new projects now. Im rendering a turntable of this model and will post it when its done:)

Wow, such an impressive model. Expertly detailed, can't wait till I reach that stage. Only thing that looks little strange is that there are so many parts such and cables, gears, and wires on the outside, that it looks really vulnerable to enemy fire. I love it! :D

[dt3d]

thats great, nice job,
but i am not a big fan of the "shoes". I prefer the first end of the legs you did, "pointed", more spider.

[Havoc89]

Absolutely stunning. Nice work. Keep it up!

[ndat]

thats great, nice job,
but i am not a big fan of the "shoes". I prefer the first end of the legs you did, "pointed", more spider.

I somewhat agree but I think the size of these are beter though, they make it look more sturdy... Maybe change the shape to have more of a point but I like the size and the fan of the new ones. Ermmm... On second though I dunno I think they look good this way...

[Lukem]

Fantastic detail! That's one mean looking bug-bot.

[authentic]

excellent. really wanted to see it animated.

[Segreto]

heres the turntable i promised, let me know what you think.

its .mov and about 7 megs in size

[jkuy]

wow the mechanics are so detailed and thought out. I really like it and I think its really inspirational! impressive to say the least!

[X-Ice]

Awesome deteils :eek:

[Segreto]

heres a short test animation i did. i finally got the chance to rig this. thanks to zzama for the help. let me know what you think of it so far

[Werner]

Cool! but I would slow it down a bit. The speed makes it look very small...like a toy.

keep up the great work!

[valeoart]

The animation is ok... but I don't know the correct dimension of your robospider! In the animation looks like a little mechanoid on the table. (Indeed, the "shoes" is not a good choise ...but the anatomy of the feet is great!) :thumbsup:

[Wardile]

great job on this... very cool indeed. Details are amamzing.

[younglion]

great modelling indeed, and i do agree that you should slow down the walk.

[j83]

If it's a smaller spider (like the size of a real spider in a scene), then the speed is fine, however, if it's large (which I assume it will be), then perhaps cushion the ins and outs of the animations, and slow down the motion and increase the arcs, that'll give him more mass. :)
