hey but i thought you were a c4d guy! traitor! j/k

cool idea chi, i know that the textures are going to be ultra important with this one for it’s camoflage, so i’m really looking forward to what you do.

#10

nice start and cool concept …preciiiiiiiiious xsi:thumbsup:

mdme_sadie-im not a traitor i just like n-gons:)
in my opinion modeling in xsi is like making love to a 50000lb woman…sick, its a pain in the ass and slow…i like c4d everything is so simple but it doesnt work well with my disjointed messy modeling style:) so i depart to xsi for this challenge…but i will be back to c4d soon…mabey…

anyways soon i hope to have arms and legs blocked in and then its on to finer details…and then maby an ent for his and some of his friend to cover:)
