Comments:
This is my main final entry image. It should capture the style of an advertising in a magazine for Mechwarriors or a poster or something like that. Keep in mind, that the Battletech is quite an old invention, and my ad should match in there.
Please click image for high res version. Please click here for ultra high version
Another beauty Image i want to show is a stylization done by a friend of mine in photoshop, based on the clay render, which will be linked further down.
Please click image for higher resolution version.
So credit for this colored image goes to Ricard “Fernest Hall” Anufriev. Great thanks, mate.

Ok, this was my first try with shadow maps in an animation. I messed up something, so they are flickering. But i think i now learned how to set them up correctly.

Description
My Entry is a cutaway of the Vulture (Mad Dog) Battlemech, known from the Battletech Universe and Mechwarrior Games.
As Reference i mainly used the “blueprint” from FASA, which illustrate a half cutaway vulture from orthographic front view. As additional reference for the 3D look of the model i used Artworks mainly from classicbattletech.com

Thanks to Hypernaut and the battletech.info community for some references, especially to Vulture_MaxPaint, who helped me to some high res images of the blueprint.
More references can be found here:

And of course, the original Blueprints from FASA:

Programs i used for this entry are: Maya, Mental Ray and Photoshop.
I think i worked on an average 2 to 3 hours a day (sometimes more, sometimes less) on this entry, barring the last two weeks, where i had nearly no time for this.
Thanks for watching! Thanks for all your comments and thanks for that great challenge!
