Beast of Burden - Character/Contraption - stereo

#22

now THAT took some forethought!

Fabulous concept!

#23

:eek: :eek:
FANTASTIC!
This is going to be a stunning piece when finished!!

#24

I LOVE the scale you have for this. I just really dig humongousI[/I] beasts. This is really looking awesome.

#25

This is looking kickass. Love the degree of detail and staging of the platform. The little handler/worker guy is great too. :thumbsup:

Only things I can think of to mention at the moment are, are those wings big enough? Even with the bumblebee theory, it just doesn’t seem like they’d get him airborne. Also, how does he hold his legs while flying, and would that do severe damage to the platform?

With the degree of planning and thought going into this, I figure you’ve got that covered, just thought I’d ask :slight_smile:

#26

hummm well :slight_smile:

i wil add a launching ramp like space shuttles that can open wings links, this ramp will be fixed on the ground landing base.
for the arms a sliding bar will be added but the BOB is advised if it touche the platform it ll be punished by a neurotic poison injection that is contained in the driver weapon… :]
sorry for this but the fact is that the wings seems to small maybe i should add another couple …i will change this.

“la nuit porte conseil”

thanks again for helping me,

Cool, nice addition of the launching ramp! My only “crit” could be that the head could use some more definition.(so does the body also I believe)

#33

I like the change to the head. I think you should also add in that tube-like sucker mouth piece that flys have. You could have the BoB use it to load smaller cargo onto the platform. :slight_smile:

The scafolding around the beast looks awesome.

#34

ok

thanks roman zro-1
i will add some more muscle definition and head details (but my graphic card is getting hot yet)

concerning the sucking tube i made it first but i have to keep a really small head and so i deleted it .

i will render a mouth closeup and u will see that in fact the mouth interior is full a theeves .

thnaks again for critics.

#35

la tête est plus sympa comme ça STEREO, sinon perso je détaillerais plus les articulations,

bon courage aussi

a+

#36

i started to add some muscle details and finished head.
i think it s looking rather good like this.
now i have to make a choice about the driving control system:

1/ hooks planted in bob s head
2/hellmet with spikes inside also on the bob s head

#37

really frightening stuff! very good modelling but i feel kinda strange 'bout the feet and the wings. the feet look very static and that they aren’t connected to the ground. and the wings should be more seperated from the body-like a fly’s one.
i’d love to see this one textured and animated. :thumbsup:

#38

i rebuilt once again the bones setup:
flash player requiered–animation for beast of burden – cgtalk challenge

#39

added wings detailed.
wire view

#40

another compositing test and still adding details…
i deleted a tower cause it catched to much attention…

i think it is getting good this way, so i will now model an acces ramp for the platform.

#41

wings rather finished…
