Um… what is it? Is there a torso? Is it part of the leg?

The top texture looks more ‘desert’ like- so maybe an alternate style. The bottom texture looks more normal, metalic.

DMBadCat · October 16, 2003, 11:22am

It’s the leg part connected to a lower torso…

I was also thinking the bottom one fit in too… thanks for the advice- more to come soon

That would be interesting to see a mech done in a trippy material like that. looks really good thus far.

Good start…

I am wondering if you are going to try and animate it?

Keep us posted.

DMBadCat · October 16, 2003, 3:23pm

Of course I will! what good is a huge metalic killing machine if it doesn’t move?

yeah, i say make the legs waaaay bigger, they are much too small. thigh thigh should be about 2/3 of the height both legs put together are now.

cool stuff, im personally not too keen on the cockpit area, the guns, theyre a little large, and dont really look part of it…

DMBadCat · October 17, 2003, 4:27pm

thank you for the suggestions, I did lots of adding, and some resizing…

and of course I still have tons more to add what do ya guys think of me mech so far?

hooray for paint diagrams!

its so still the most powerfull drawing software…

DMBadCat · October 17, 2003, 7:19pm

wee! I did all those things you mentioned (except lower the head)
but I did move it… I moved the head forward extended the shoulders, enlarged the lower torso, added an enter and escape hatch, added a lower ball turret gun deck thingy, put in some rear supports, adjusted the rockets on the back (it will fly, so I put 1 light on each rocket: red, and green)
I put a good amount of work into fixing up the lower ball turret…
I also adjusted the lights on the head…
phew! this is what I have after two days of work so far

much better! maybe raise the shoulders a bit then, if you cant lower the head.

now get onto those legs!

good stuff dude, i love it.

DMBadCat · October 17, 2003, 7:51pm

here is a large image so you can kinda see some details… and I lowered the head (thanks for all of the tips, made it look AWESOME!)

Osa.

And that thing dangling between the legs with the guns…I’d lose a few of those small bars at the top of it and make the connection the body more substantial.

traitor · October 17, 2003, 8:34pm

hmmm, i would still make the legs bigger, if not just by raising the hip joint up a bit, the legs are way too short compared to the size of its torso…

DMBadCat · October 18, 2003, 12:06am

again, thanks for all of the support and comments, I appreciate it… (I used the anti-aliasing feature this time too )
what do you guys think so far

Looks good. I think the ends of the gun barrels should be less beveled though. They have a sort of rounded look that doesn’t seem to work.
