Mechmaster Posted April 13, 2004 Posted April 13, 2004 I love that metallic red look. Regarding the backpack heres a shot of the Imai model backpack which may be of some help to you. Quote
Angel's Fury Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 It just keeps on looking better and better!!! Just a little bit more.............. Quote
Rodavan Posted April 15, 2004 Author Posted April 15, 2004 Yup but converted to poly for render Quote
Rodavan Posted April 16, 2004 Author Posted April 16, 2004 Needs some help. The compendium stats says 126 missles , all together ( in the leg and shoulder) Yet when you look at the 1/60 toy , there isn't 126 . Have I got it wrong ? Quote

Rodavan Posted April 20, 2004 Author Posted April 20, 2004 OOPS ! Sorry for the big pic mods ! forgot to crop pic . Quote
DatterBoy Posted April 20, 2004 Posted April 20, 2004 ROD: Great work as always. What materials, renderer do you use to get your different effects? What is the app you're using? Always looks great, I love how yo go between toy and such renders. :Dat Quote
Angel's Fury Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 It's finished! Awesome! Great work Rodavan!!! Quote
Rodavan Posted April 22, 2004 Author Posted April 22, 2004 Thanks Guys ! There will be one more update , I didn't like the " fingers" post it later :Dat - thanks I use Rhino 3D to model so the non glossy renders comes from rhino I use them as trail renders to see the basic colours , I then use Maxon's Cinema 4D to do the nice shiny and other renders. I use a process called HDRI illumination which give all scene a "life like" feel. I know Maya and Lightwave has something similar. What enemy should I model next ? or maybe start with a VF-0 - let me know Quote
Chronocidal Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 Heheh.. Personally, I'd like to see an SV-51 modeled.. looks like a challenge to me. Quote
Rodavan Posted April 22, 2004 Author Posted April 22, 2004 last pics - Light comes from a window into a room Quote
Rodavan Posted April 28, 2004 Author Posted April 28, 2004 WIP - start I decided to the "other" version of Rau , I call it the "fatboy" Rau . Quote
Knight26 Posted April 28, 2004 Posted April 28, 2004 Is there that much of a difference between the two, I thought it was mostly just the eye, antenna, and markings. Quote
Rodavan Posted April 29, 2004 Author Posted April 29, 2004 Knight26 - I am still trying to find out - there seem to be a Movie verion and a TV version . The main differences I can see is different head , thicker legs ,arm, "neck" , anttena , shoulders and markings. It also seems to look like a "fatboy" look . If I am wrong let me know! Quote
Rodavan Posted May 3, 2004 Author Posted May 3, 2004 WIP Lots of changes on the way , hope finish this week Quote
DatterBoy Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 Great work RODAVAN. Seriously wish I knew how to do models in NURBS or Sub-D so I can get them looking as smooth as yours are. Keep up the great work. You have a site where you show off some of your other non Macross works? :Dat Quote
Rodavan Posted May 4, 2004 Author Posted May 4, 2004 Thanks :Dat I have not done any other non macross stuff for about 8 years now, the "old stuff" is very boring anyhow - car parts , bottles and plastic parts for injection moulding( no toys). I would love to start again , but I am working in the mining industry @ present , pay very good but no imagination needed ! Quote
Rodavan Posted May 6, 2004 Author Posted May 6, 2004 WIP Update Were looking for a problem in a surface , found it using this " type" render - I thought it looked nice . I was hoping to finish Friday - don't think so ! Quote
EXO Posted May 8, 2004 Posted May 8, 2004 I can't believe you started from scratch... but I can only respect that... AWESOME! Quote
Rodavan Posted May 10, 2004 Author Posted May 10, 2004 Thanks Guys! Here is first "assembly" of all the parts - it looks abit to "fat" - so let me know Quote
Rodavan Posted May 10, 2004 Author Posted May 10, 2004 Toy look one - as always Still a few things to do - I will add marking tonight ! Quote
Brianw76 Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 damn, that is beautiful! all us CG guys should get together and make some animations. Quote
Rodavan Posted May 10, 2004 Author Posted May 10, 2004 damn, that is beautiful! all us CG guys should get together and make some animations. Can't agree more ! I am no good @ animation (Yet!), nor do I think my models are animation "friendly" , but I am a quick learner Quote
