chrono Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Disregard. There was a knock at the door. It was life. 319370[/snapback] Life? I think I heard of that. Is there still going to be a poster (the original aim of this thread) or has everyone just drifted off into other things? Like life perhaps? 319704[/snapback] More like it's summer and computers don't mix well with sand and surf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gammera Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 More like it's summer and computers don't mix well with sand and surf. Are you infering there is something to the this rumor of an "outside"?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatterBoy Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 That's blasphemy Dat. Why don't you post some sweet a$$ renders instead of useless text? Wait, that's what I just did. I'll fire off some renders tonite. 319348[/snapback] Hey Az, I would, but unfortunately, my sweet a$$ renders have not gotten any better since last I've posted. I need some new material... But I'd love to see more of your stuff. :Dat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechmaster Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Are you infering there is something to the this rumor of an "outside"?! 320241[/snapback] Probably something to do with this "life" thing they were talking about.

Rodavan Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 (edited) Tried that , ignoring "life" , I mean , I tried to run , I tried to hide , but "life" has a big 5 pound hammer and when it cathes up with you .........

mac666er Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Thanks guys, I have been very busy with work but every spare second I have I try to work on my models Anyhow.. enough ranting... I am working on the details of my SDF-1 and its textures. TExtures are really very tricky. Maybe I wil be able to post soon. Dok, even though your model is simple, it is a really nice composition... nice work too Rod. mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_WOZ Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 (edited) Ok, after 2 weeks fighting Truespace's bugs, I managed to build the IK hierarchy of the leg, including muscles for the knee joint. BTW, very nice render DOK, looks like a model kit box cover.

broadshore Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Ok, guys, have been experimenting with NEW trends... like the conventional SDF 1 model and other types of shaders. I can finally post a movie!!! here is the link: Transformation movie Comments and crits wellcome! mac 322165[/snapback] Okay. I got two crits I want to point out for you. and I know someone is going to say. "YOUR NIPICKING!" Here it goes. The model is great! Love the Toon shading you done to the TV Series SDF-01. Now, the shoulder cannons during transformation seem to hit the two carriers. It could be timing or something got screwed up somewhere. Same with the Bridge area. If you look at it. It seems that head itself is going inside the left side of the main gun. Looks like the timing is off or something. great model thought! Which 3d App did you use?

Which 3d App did you use? 324338[/snapback] hmmmmm it was about time *somebody* pointed that out. You are entirely correct. I appreciate the critical eye! I am working on the dimensions of the model. As probably dat, rod and aztek can tell you, if you follow the designs from the TV series or the movie to the letter, you'll find out that they aren't 3-d coherent. That is... things like you just observed start happening. I think that is specially evident in the valkyrie. So.. what dat did is follow a toy blue print, but I want my model not to look toy-ish... hence I am experimenting... I am modelling in 3ds max, as for the toon shader... it is done in Maya. the transformation you saw there it is with a very simple model. I have a rather complex sdf 1 model, but I wanted to see how it looked in a toon shader... so I gave it a try. I'll post more pics/movies and see which one looks best... or rather.. not as awful!

maxsterling3 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 (edited) Hello, Everyone, I'm new to the forum and to 3d Modeling. I've got a Zentraedi Battlepod I've been working on (on and off, actually) right now it's chassis is almost complete (no real detail work done) and the legs aren't even started yet (working on it). and heres the other render. and some *gasp* Robotech (or mospeda in this case) stuff, I'll put up images as Soon as I can get them uploaded and ready.

maxsterling3 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Wow, it's tough. But I noticed as I was posting these pictures that theres some artifacts, so I'm going to try to fix those, when I have time (contract work kinda sucks) I'm thinking of starting over, I started this before my first 3ds class and now I'm sure I can do better now, higher poly too oh, and here are some more pictures (using the clay like renderings) and finally I think I like them better rendered like this.
