Hi,
I begin participation in image competition.
The huge steam gun will be the basic part of a composition round which all will be modelled. The gun will be simply enormous, shooting by means of steam, huge kernels.
The attention, begins hot war!
All good luck and fair rivalry!

I add details.

[SweD]

it seems that you're doing a huge war machine.

excellent, i'm waiting the next step eagerly :thumbsup:

I create feet, after all the steam gun should be able to go:-))

[varma]

Excellent work Vladimir! Even I'm following a rather similar concept, my output will
be nowhere near your style!
Bookmarked, definitely!
:bowdown:

[SONIC-X]

Great modelling dude.Want to keep an eye on this one.

[jondiyolah]

nice start good luck

[MechaHateChimp]

Man, its like one great modeler after another! I just saw your portfolio and Im willing to bet you'll have no problem with this challenge :thumbsup:

Awesome modeling and a great start -J

[MartinNielsen]

Very cool model. What mythical war are you refering to?

[balfs21]

Good start...keep it coming!

[steelbug]

End ХlХ of a century. Where that on desert Gobi border. Two super empires, one from the east another from the West have resulted the huge steam-engines what to solve old dispute of the central territories. The western empire has built a defensive complex, waiting attacks from outside sunrise.

The steam gun is created and ready to fight.

[M477]

Ouch, this is detailed! Nice work, it looks huge. How are you going to be texturing it, will you be unwrapping it? That would be hell :p

[mic]

Wow!!! That's sooo cool. I feel like a noob. :blush:

perfect moddeling! great job

Has added a few environments. With objects filling a scene I will continue to work. I hope for structures time remains.

[Try]

WOW man this is splendid stuff friend!:applause:
Love ale the details and lightning already. The Canon is awesome I think but maybe it should stand more in silhouette against the sky or something. so it don't disappear in front of all the other structures.
I'm also a bit worried about the structures in front of the barrel there it it fires of a shot. ;)

but seriously a great job so far!

[JackZhang]

strong piece. this one is really good!

[iskanderMellakh]

It has all come together so well! looks great:applause:

[steelbug]

Thanks all.
I will try to complete to the final image :argh:
Jack, it is pleasant to hear good words from employee Electronic Arts Inc

Has a little changed a platform. The foreground I will detail still.

[madshooter]

Beautifull:cool:. Very fine and nice details on the model.
Keep going dude:thumbsup:

[Mau-Zer]

Cool stuff Vladimir! I think we have a similar scale setting for our weapon.

[shotta]

wow nice desing and details. Congratulations Steelbug

[Ramitxon]

Wow, you're insane. Viewing your portfolio, it seems this is the right kind of challenge for you. I follow your progress.

[Norberg]

Awesome modeling!
It´s stuff like this that makes me want to convert to 3D. Not that i will ever get to this level but still....
Will keep an extra eye on this one.

[vichar]

Very cool model

[maxxxw]

huge details!!!
nice work...but, not eveything is steam...some details may be from cyberpunk...for example tne foots of this machine.
but i like your mind...and this weapon is greate!

[steelbug]

Has started to adjust illumination. The first tests for the big plane. To: maxxxw привет , I as am am disturbed by possibility to leave from the set theme. I will try to be close to a theme Stempunk. It is important.

[JackZhang]

The lighting is really nice.

Wow, great modeling, you work very fast. Go ahead.

[Micro26]

Cool work u got there.Cant wait to see this textured
Keep updating:thumbsup:

[Nomad]

Awesome modeling, bravo! :thumbsup:

[lynch]

nice model but i hope you texture it in a way that make it look steam punk ...because it kinda looks modern even with the large pipes.

[mrpeace]

That is ONE BIG gun , Really impressive work, the details are carefully planned.

Good Luck! :thumbsup:

Little changes in details. It is a little more changes also I will begin imposing of structures. The most difficult process still is necessary.

[kojala]

absolutely amazing detail... omg

[JackZhang]

this is one of my favorest entry so far. keep it up Vladimir.

[showkunz]

Excellent work!It's huge and amazing.

Hi comrade, hardcore modeling! Good luck man! :)

Hi! I have a little changed a composition. Big a subject distract attention from a gun. At a gun now new feet, heavy and powerful.

[Coldrum]

Wow this is cool! nice details.. my only suggestion would be that everything seems a little linear at the moment? it's a really tight composition tho so hey... I kind of expected to see the barrel of the canon in the foreground but these are only personal preferences. Awesome work :)

[steelbug]

http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/16072/16072_1229295076_medium.jpg (http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/22/16072/16072_1229295076_large.jpg)

The gun has turned out very big, does not wish to be located in a chamber objective. The big problem to thrust it in a shot. I continue to experiment. Has not thought that with the sizes of a gun there can be problems.

[innubus]

That is some of the most ambitious modeling I have yet. The materials and lighting seem to be coming along very nicely. I thinks what it needs is some sort of frame of reference. Try people, trees, cars, or something similar. Tweaking the environment could help as well. Have to add some haze or fog? Good luck, and hopefully things keep progressing well.

Hi, as I can not it will be defined with a composition. Models has created much, but all do not correspond to a composition. While has decided to make experiments with light and materials. And time not simply goes, it runs. Time, time, time... All good luck and 25 hours per days!

[seili]

I love the detail here, especially the chains around the structure base. I do agree though that some more people/vehicles might help with the composition. But from the amount of detail work you're putting into it I can see where you'd run out of time! Great work, I can't wait to see how this turns out.

The big gun had a girl-friend, a small gun:-)). The small gun can shoot very precisely, it has an optical sight. A sight I will complete still, it while the concept. Soon there will be new models.

[handlebar]

Fantastic renders, i love the way you handle the lighting and color choice.

[SagiCZ]

Nice job! Can you present your hardware? how many polys you have now?

is possible to model something like this in Maya? Thanks :)

[steelbug]

SagiCZ, it 3dsMAX/Vray. Now 500 000 polys.
Intel Q6600 (3.2 GHz overlock) ATI 4850. Polys have to save, or else the power is not enough for the final scene.

[stridiggio]

Wow, you're doing this work very well, congrats!
Just I'll be waiting for your next models! :bounce:

[Micro26]

U have loads of models there man. I like the light setup and shading u put on the objects.
Very enjoyable entry.Have fun :thumbsup:

[unbekanntespezies]

hi,

your gun is fantastic but not the way you show it (my opinion)
i would prefer to show the "steam-gun" more like a monster or a battle machine.
... destroyed area, some soldiers
and one foot of your gun should stand on a crushed vehicle or something else
i think that would look very interesting

[steelbug]

Has a little corrected structures, has changed an optical sight. The big gun shoots now further, the trunk is lifted.

[joolz]

I love all the detail! Raising the gun seems like a good decision. Looking forward to more.

Has made decision to place a gun-monster against wildlife. Such contrast, I think, will recover a scene. There was a small break in work on a scene, will catch up.

I continue to work with the general scene. It is a little processing post.

It is a final scene. It is necessary to execute image processing. Probably in process a processing post I will a little more change details.

Two super states have entered war for territories.
In war the most destructive weapon - steam guns is used.
But winners will not be, steam will destroy all live on a planet!

Work is finished. The server is not accessible to loading of the final image. I hope all will soon earn.

If we have even 7 days for representation of the work I will show some stages of creation of a scene. Now you see adjustment of illumination and a grid (Vray mat) geometrical objects. The grass also is geometrical object. The Earth in the foreground, there where covers a spare periscope, consists of stones - geometrical objects.
