Here's a mech I'm currently doing. It's based on a quick sketch I did. The model is a bit different from the sketch, because some things didn't work in 3d. The model is still mirrored.

It's a warroir mech thats controlled by one human.

To do list:
Inside of the cockpit
The pilot
Door on the backside of cockpit
Big search lights
Anything else I can come up with.
Any suggestions to add to this are welcome, as are overall crits & comments.

The plan is to keep adding detail until my computer gives up :argh:

looks fine, but gravity tell me that the machine fall, i guess the gravity center is far for the joint of the legs, is just my impression.

Thats a good point, I think I'll make the lower legs a bit lower and more to the front. Will update later.

Very cool! Looks like a chicken w/ big guns. Will you be texturing it?

nice design, but looks like a error at the top of the back of the pod, you got a ridge, i dont think you mean to be there, just a small geomatry change, nice otherwise.

DavidSingha> Thanks, it was basically inspired by a chicken. Ill try some texturing when I'm happy with the model.

Rei Ayanami>Thanks, I think the error could be because I have not welded the mesh together. It's currently consisting of two halves.

I'm currently doing the inside of the cockpit. Will update when more is to be shown :buttrock:

Whoah, back from page 6! There's a high refresh rate going on here.

No updates, I'm currently reworking the legs of the mech to give them a bit more body. I wasn't happy with the way they turned out. They'll be more "organic" now. Will post when there is something to see.

I got a bit distracted by a great white shark so it may take a while before updating :)
