[ptacnik]

by the way how do i post my pics directly into the forum?

I have seen alot of of mechscorpions through my time both good and bad, but I must say this is a very cool design it look like something you would see in Startrek or similar because of the Slimline design it could easely be a medicalprobedroide, allmost all the others have been bulgy detroyerrobots and they Can be cool but yours the best !!:thumbsup:

Oh thats cool as sh*t!!!
Excellent modeling...needs more textureing (and I am sure you know that)but awesome stuff so far!

Great modelling there!
The legs are perfect, or looks as from this distance, I would love to see a closeup to see how *you* solved the mechanics there.
The plating still needs some work, more segmentation, and some variation. The tail looks a bit emty with a lack of cogs, wires, ect... And that long wire going all the way up to the tail, that would never do, if you wanted this baby to work in reality. Looks cool, but would jam into the tail, when it moves, so try to mount it onto the segments of the tail.
Some receptors on the head maybe... (Well, OK, I know this is only a WIP...)

It seems we're having the year of mecha scorpions, so you've got quite a strong competittion out there!
Good Luck!

P.S.: I agree about the StarTrek look... but can't figure it out why... :D

thanx for the comments, as for the wire in the back... im tryin to make this guy look old and worn, so its more like it go pulled out and its just hangin' there now....

im working on some ideas for the fangs and eyes but any suggestions are welcome,
i've also got some mat woked out (see attached file)

thanx again for you comments

again sorry about the crappy compression of the images

[Aldaryn]

Hmm, a bit wierd shader at first glance. The paint peels diferently! Just look around, looks for old, aged thing with paint peeling off!
Paint peel is hard edged, even when its not peel, but chafing. Dust in the other hand along with rust can have soft edges, and usually it is soft edged. So you've got that right...

But really, use reference! When it comes to thing you can examine in reality, then go, and examine it! :D

By the way: you can insert an image right into the post, not as an attached one, by using the IMG button, or using it as an [IMG] vB tag.

Some big light receptors, or camera lenses would do best IMO, with a red glow, and a real black "depth" in the lens...

Keep up the good work!
