HMC #14 - Robocop 2

#141

The WIP’s have been a joy to look at but I’m really glad to start seeing some renders of it. Good to see the back’s filled out, too!

I don’t envy the voting panel; this entry and several others have just come out incredibly.

#142

Hey Trenox do you think you could explain how you got from pic claw_wip01 to pic claw_wip02_wire or point to somewhere else that does id be ever so greatful.

#143

Simply the best model. Trenox, well done mate.

#144

This is stunning from every angle. Very inspiring.

#145

Say, Trenox, just curious - did you use Max for this entry?:lightbulb

#146

Boone: Jep it’s max all the way :slight_smile:

Im really glad you guys like it :slight_smile:

edit: fuchiboo: sorry mate didnt see you there. Basically the difference is that I’ve added controledges to the mesh and turbosmooth with two iterations of smooth. Now what’s important here is the controledges (which is the core to good SDS modeling). Im using various techniques to add them where needed to control the smoothing from the turbosmooth. If i didnt add any controledges (or edgeloops) and just applied turbosmooth to pic01 it would look very odd and shapeless. Try and add turbosmooth to a 111 box and add loops of edges on the lowest level and see how the changes affect the smooting (rememeber to enable “show end result”). If this explanation is too basic and you want to know something else just ask :slight_smile:

:drool: Wow.

It’s looking so good. You did very well with the details of the back and underbelly.:beer:
Trenox you’re my hero for modeling with perfection my favourite mecha.
I bent before your talent and courage to work on such a complex design.
Top grade all the way.:cool:

Can you please post some pix of your model with this pose (my favourite)?

My kitbash Cain figure:


PS: don’t forget Cain’s neck is composed of four hydrolic actuators :wink:
Geez Phil Tippett and Craig Davies should see this baby.

#148

:cool:

superb modelling. The clay render really shows it off …

#149

You star. I got it now i fully understand thanks for explaining i always wondered how how people modeled like that with curvy lines and stuff.

#150

I think the most coolest thing they could do is pit Cain MKII against ED-209. That would be some serious shit indeed.

#151

great model !!!

will you go to apply materials to the mesh ?

#152

Outstanding and Inspirational.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

#153

Probably the entry that deserves the most the “hardcore” appelation of this whole challenge. Great job

   Comments:
   Cain was a particular difficult model to create since it has so many irregular shapes and lines, and because 
I had to rely on several sources of references which came from different models in different poses

(8 models was created for the movie + a full size torso). Also its non-symmetrical and has four arms with almost no identical elements.
However I am relatively happy with the result and the time it took to recreate this fabulous design.

   I spend roughly 65-70 hours on this including reasearch.
   
   Special thanks to HenrikBC for support, advice and critique.
   Also a special thanks to Insroo for his support and generous supply of reference material.

—end of final entry—

Ive been super busy getting the renders done in time so i didnt have any time to post here, but you can check more stuff in the final entry thread. Ill post more when i get back home!

Insroo: hope this final pose is satisfatory :D

fuchiboo: your welcome man =)

for those about to vote…We salute yaaa :buttrock:

simply fantastic man!!

#159

Good god, this is definitely going to be one of the toughest voting challenges, IMHO. But Trenox, your entry is definitely among one of the bests! Is this sucker fully rigged? If so, ever thought of doing an animation with it? Man that would be awesome!

#160

Fantastic! Thanks for the bonus shots :cool:
