WIP wings mech

#1

Well i’ve been toying with wings3d for some time now and finally got to the point where I felt comfortable enough with it to try and make something lol. Feel free to laugh, I am:scream: Advice is welcome also. I havent tried any of the plug in renderers yet, this is just with the built in Wings3d renderer…

Howdy! I just finished a MECH I will try to explain the process I used on the missile rack.

Basically I created a new cube…extruded it out a few times…cut a few loops into it. Basically I tried to create a grid like face so I could make the holes for the missiles. Unfortunately I didn’t pay close attention to what I was doing so the missiles are quite right. Anyway I selected the polys the INSET them, SMOOTH once, then DISSOLVE. That gave me round holes. I extruded them inwards then while the polys were still selected I EXTRACTED the faces. Now I had a flat round poly in each hole and I EXTRUDED those, resized etc until I had a missile shape. That was pretty much it. I realize this may sound confusing. Let me know if you have trouble with it and I will try to put together a pictorial showing the steps.

Nice Job on that mech, Mentat. Just out of curiosity what did you use for the texture?

#6

Thanks Phoenix. Actually there is no texture on my Mech. The material is a DarkTree shader that was created iin Simbiont. Just two materials going on there…the yellow on the missiles and the greenish/blue on the rest of it. I applied the little numbers with photoshop. Everything else is done in C4D. I included DirtyNuts in the Diffusion channel of the material to help dirty up the shadows a bit. That’s pretty much it.
