wow that looks cool.
Reall detailed, expecially the interior!
thumbs up!
I’d probably change angle of the feet… I would’nt bend them too much.
Maybe use pictures of spiders of something for reference… nature always has the best inspi/ideas 
keep it up!
heya
nice modelling… another great thread!
2 thumbs up:thumbsup:
heck… maybe another one…
Thanks guys.
lehmi vbmenu_register(“postmenu_1751113”, true); - Once I have them walking on the vine like cables the curve of the legs will make more sence. I actually want them to wrap partly around the diameter of the cable. They would be pretty useless on flat terrain.
Versiden - I hope the detail shows up in the final render, but thanks.
I’m in the process of working with the lighting for the scene at this stage, to get a feeling of the walker creating it’s own light source, and a basic mainlight representing the sun. Added a little more detail in the glass etc. Will probably get a another render out soon.
very nice models Elben, love the lighting effects on that ship. maybe you can slap a bit of dirt or rust on the arms! cheers and good luck!
Hey Elben!
Wow, great work with that concept! A bit retro with that fishtank cockpit… I love it
Just one small crit… seems to me that the glass still refracts too much at the centre, and it could also be a little darker around the edges for a better outline imho…
Great stuff… keep it coming!
Hey, looking good.
At the moment it looks like the “bubble” is a solid sphere, hollow it out and it should look alot more realistic.
Keep up the good work

liquidminduk - your right about the hollowing out. About a week ago, I gave the glass thickness, and it gave a lot better look, including a hint of a ring around the bubble. I really didn’t want to bore everyone with yet another slightly different image post.
Rui_Padinha - thanks for the crit, I might cut the refraction down a bit.
uwil - Would you believe the arms actually have a lot of dirt etc, they just don’t show up rendered so far. I hope in the final comp, the closest crawler will show it off a bit, if not I’ll have to go in and dirty up more.
As soon as I get the driver made I hope to post a couple more images. Been working on him off and on.
if your dirt isnt showing up, tr6y adding a bump or displacement map to it, that way it’ll show up more.
Keep it up.

keep going Elben, ya sometimes my monitor doesn’t cooperate with me. i really see dirt in there… nice texturing by the way… update:thumbsup:
This is my WIP on creating the pilot to my walker. I decided to use Silo to create him, then import him into Maya. I also went for a posed model rather then a rigged model. Wanted the modeled detail without the extra steps of bones etc.
Silo had a lot of cool features and was impressed with the speed, but I did an experiment with exporting and I think the demo wouldn’t allow me to export too high of a model. So I exported early, as well I was missing a few Maya tools that I couldn’t do without.
The overall form and folds are based off of my own, as I sat modeling him. I also learnt a few what not to do’s, as I made him.
hi there! I must say that you have nice stuff here:thumbsup: I like your work, the model of the pilot is great. I would only advice to tighten the area around his eyes and eyebrows more… to emphasize the feeling fo drama. He would look more emotional. You made a big step from your last update, I can’t wait to see the next one
I’ll be back:twisted:
you give a very good expression to your character:thumbsup:
your concept seems good
good luck
Nice work! I like that you’re mixing spaceships and characters, and your character has a great expression. keep going!
These vines are again modeled in Maya. I wanted to go with something that had a nice siluete, so I went a little higher poly.
I first modeled the overall shape extruding a loop the length of a curve. I then smoothed the sections closest to the camera, used the sculpt surfaces tool to pull out the bulges referenced from my image map. I smoothed a smaller section again, sculpt then repeated again to get vein like surfaces. To get the finer bumps I created a bump map based off of my texture map.
I then added the walker and sized the vines the match the walker. I wanted an infestation of walkers giving a similar feel to crabs. I have all the crabs in the scene but have to turn off six due to rendering time. I still might have to go in and optimize them based on distance from the camera to save poly count.
This is just a test to see what the lighting will look like on the vines. I still have yet to put in a stary background etc.
Due to my computer not able to render the whole scene I had to seperate it into rendered layers and join them together to get this. I’ve changed the layout of my scene a bit from the original sketch, but I didn’t want to loose some of the detail if I pulled the camera back to fit the sketch layout. As well I hope it will add a little mystery as to what they’re shootin at, and allow me to render in time.
Hi neble,
greate concept you have there. I like the idea of your robot spiders :applause: Just one little note… your vine texture looks a bit funny. Not really rock and not really organic. What did you have in mind for the final look?
That’s a great looking character: well modelled and posed in an interesting position with a great facial expression. the vines look more fleshy to me than plant like. was that your intention? keep going!
