My old roommate and I used to sit around and dream this sort of stuff up all the time.
The idea behind the dauntless is: what do you drive when there are no roads. Each “foot” is capable of moving independently from the others. This would allow it to climb over just about any surface including cliffs, chasms, etc.
Impressive. Like the idea and also the fact that it reminded of the time when i would be doodling my imaginary vehicles and town plans at the back of my notepad.
I have one question though - what is the utility of this vehicle?
If it is to be able to negotiate any terrain and reach anywhere, would it not want to deliver a bigger payload? Maybe the control cabin needs to have room to seat more passengers or carry goods.
As for the work - top notch. Absolutely nothing to crit about the modeling or the textures. The environment could improve a bit though. Great work. 5 Stars from me.
