Drop-047 and HH-047

[braam]

Early in modelling phase. I included the picture of a leg region where I decided to start. I also add gif animation to give you idea how the knee joint will rotate.

Since the conceptual sketches did not provide 100% information about its volumes, I can add-and-model them with my imagination. Please ignore its colors, it is for the color seperation.

Please take note that red geometry in gif animation is just the indication of where the upper-biped should be positioned.

Due to one attachments allowed per thread. Here I add mentioned gif animation...

[braam]

Still working around one leg. I find it very challenging to create a leg that is wicked enough when animated. Beside that, I have to balance it between believable and rig-able. I replaced the smooth one, as in conceptual sketches, to hard edged leg-limb. I prefered working on hard-edged surfaces, because it is more robotics.

Fantastic modeling! The detail is wonderful. Look forward to additional updates.

[braam]

I have been working on Yardley, Duravil and 2D animation lately. I finally got time and energy to continue the model. The gray region in attached image is still in progress. Modelling except L&T (Lighting and Texturing) in other region is done.

The rough 3d objects above the legs are just for the layout.

Cheers

love it , i love those mechanic details, i wanna see more,
nice one :thumbsup:

[Cheehad]

hmm..Very nice :drool: :drool:...i love it :eek:

[Caman0]

That looks really good man, right up my alley

reminds me of that Sethrobot, created by Davewilson

[Caman0]

doesnt Dave Wilson work or used to work @ WickedPixels too?

[Hexodam]

wow:buttrock:
give us more give us more!

[LordPhobos]

I hate seeing work like this because it makes my stuff look like crap. lol

Seriously, I love those pictures. The details you put into it are awesome and I can't wait to see it animated. If I may ask, what kind of technique are you using for it? NURBs, polygons, etc?

Thanks for sharing with us. Please keep the updates coming. :)

[braam]

Tony Richardson, bJekX, LittleBoy and Hexodam - I appreciated your feedback and I will add some interesting stuff including wireframe...

Caman0 - thanks, Dave Wilson once belonged to Wicked Pixels, but unfortunately he is currently working for Blur Studio. For me, he is 3D genius. Animation version of Seth inspired me to create advanced Human-Harvester which in turn inspiring me to create the Drop. Keep playing!

LordPhobos - It is same to me, I hate to see some work that is beyond my reach, but it is normal to do so. With this, it inspire you to do something amazing to satisfy yourself. Anyway, thanks for complimenting on my work. My work is capable of animation. I used mixed techniques (nurbs and polygons) since nurbs is ideal for velvety surface and polygons for blocky, hard-edged, robotic parts. Keep playing because we grow old... :-)

Cheers

question? is that all polygon modeling???

i sure hope so..cause i'm not big in the whole splines nurbs thing and i want to make sure there is hope for me

[braam]

Darius43321 - Mostly, yes.

I used mixed techniques (nurbs and polygons) since nurbs is ideal for velvety surface and polygons for blocky, hard-edged, robotic parts.

The nurbs torus is capable to animate start and end sweep, so it is ideal to use as expandable pipe for "knee" joint rotation. It is hard to explain, but you will see how it work when it is animated. Hopefully it will be finished by the next month.

Cheers
Braam :thumbsup:

[Caman0]

lol just had a fun idea

you shouldnt make it a harvester, make it a gun

like where you have that big cilinder-body now, make that a tube (Bigass barrel)

then its like a walking bigass gun :D


btw, dave wilson is da man he inspired me to make my tech stuff too :)

[jstroja]

Mna, thats some really top qual work there! keep it up. you have my praise.....

[DAREONER]

yeee good design:bounce:

[aenema]

lookin great, and so much detail. updates soon! :thumbsup:

[Stimpy]

looks like its got its own style already.. ace.

[GodfatherUr]

Love the detail and the concept behind it :buttrock: Look forward to seeing it when she is complete. :drool:

[braam]

Caman0 - lol, maybe harvester's "big-assed" sidekick... :D

DAREONER - thanx :thumbsup:

fakie - thanks, I will try to keep updating...

Stimpy - thanks, to me it looks as well.

GodfatherUr - thanx, i will keep posting until it is finished. :thumbsup:

I will update my work by tomorrow at least.

Cheers
Braam "SmartAss" :)

[Edouard]

cool concept...better model..keep on posting the updates I like this model already!!:wip:

[braam]

New images...not much.

I am working on the hip joint and the rest.

Cheers
Braam

[braam]

one more image added.

[Darius43321]

very very nice keep up the good work

[braam]

New image. Please take note that the nose and tail pieces is just for the layout, so you could sense the general shape. L&T is still in progress. It is starting to look very wicked.

Cheers
Braam

[bJekX]

looking goooood
just for fun u could ad two balls in the back ;)

[Caman0]

thats one phat ass model you got that dude!!!

more pics more pics!!

and bigger pics too :)

[braam]

I added some new elements around the hip joint.

See the image (http://www.wickedpixels.com/braam/drop.jpg)

Any comments will be appreciated.

Cheers
Braam;)

[Waters]

Great stuff, love the design, and the model is amazing.

[braam]

Hi guys,

I am working on some textures around its repentae (yellow thorax) and it is really fun to develop ideas during the process. Inside a yelllow brittle ball, which clutching at its tail, is a special chemical Gas that will put humans into trance as soon as it is deflated. There are different colored balls, produced by metal organs in its abdomen, for several purposes.

Yellow ball = Special Chemical Gas
Red ball = Bomb
Blue ball = Net to put Human into stationary positions.
Green ball = Mass Destructor

I am putting different signs on each balls to recognize their characters. Head is just around the corner. Any C & C and ideas welcome.

Cheers
Braam :-)

[Neison]

These latest images are awesome, the model is very cool (love those legs!). :)

As far as the textures, I think they're coming along great. I wanted to know if you were still working on the leg textures because they seem unfinished when compared to the head and thorax (both of which look great).

Do you think you'll have any problems animating the feet? Big feet can be difficult (for me at least).

[braam]

Thanks Neison, I am still texturing my baby and I will paint some great textures for legs. I agreed your comparision. It is already rigged and I didn't have problem with animating. I am not going to post the animation, because I don't want to spoil the surprise.

[LoneLobo]

this is just awesome man, i love it!!

really nice WiP, don't stop and keep it on! :beer: :beer:

[braam]

LoneLobo - thanks, I will keep updating. Completely textured baby will be seen in next update.

[Izu]

nice....the head makes me think of the brainbug in starship troopers.. :D

:surprised

[Chan]

Everything is great, legs are totally cool. Very detailed and shit... But the head... It looks like two testicles...
