HMC #21 - Bionic Rocketman

[razeverius]

how's your idea coming along? would love to see it :)

[grantmoore3d]

Just got back from a camping trip, so I will work on the concept tomorrow evening. I'm thinking he will be a fallen Nazi soldier who had mechanical devices surgically grafted to his body after being injured in an explosion. I have a good idea in my head, hopefully I can sketch it out well enough tomorrow evening! :)

Unfortuantely work has hit me once again :(

While making the extra money is good, it's likely I won't get to do this one, I might revisit it later since it seemed like a fun one to do. Good luck to all who are still in it!!

That's too bad, your idea seems great! Have you seen the movie Hellboy? There is a cool villian in there, sort of a bionic Nazi soldier if I remember correctly. Anyway, maybe the look will inspire you:

Hey Grant,

Good news about the extra work. Hopefully you will find some time to work on you model.

Thanks for the encouraging words guys! I've got about a week in the challenge left, and just finished off some large projects which leaves me with time to take a crack at this! Not sure how far I will get, but going to give it my best go :thumbsup:

japetus: Completely forgot about that character, loved him in the movie. Essentially it will be him, but with a gas mask, arm canon and jet pack :P

Rough sketches of what I intend to model:

Just managed to get a really rough human form blocked out, a little rusty at this since I haven't touched Maya in months. Tomorrow will be blocking in all the major shapes and details.

sanketpro3d: haha yeah, I'm hoping to finish on time, but even if I run out I'll still get it ready for the FXWars challenge.

Did a bit more blocking in, will try to finish up the blocking process tomorrow.

Almost done the blocking, just have to create the hydraulic arm, jet pack and wings. Going to try and get it done tonight.

Laid down the foundation for the jacket / flaps.

Made the base for the jet pack, going to add a bit more details and figure out how it "attached" to him tomorrow!

Dont forget to post your final entry on this thread:

The deadline is Monday by 12pm, so make sure you submit before then so yours is not left out :)

[grantmoore3d]

I don't think I'm going to have enough time before this Wednesday to get him details / textured, but I'm going to give it my best effort! Either way, the base model is essentially done. I just added some points where the jetpack hooks up to the guy / stabs through him.
