Hi, I updated the model a bit and deleted some unneeded vertices and edges, now 224 triangulated Tris!!

Does it still look like a plant?

I was trying something different now... first time a head. I keep fucking the lips up and proportions in general probably... this is annoying.

rattle, you have some talent, just grow it before you squash it...

do some face studies, plan a model, then tackle it...

the way the lips are generated right now, and the jawline, its gonna be IMPOSSIBLE to make them look right...

all in all, its an improvement though...

nice to see less "geometrically primitive" models

Thanks. Just noticed this went in the wrong thread.

Ewww, that looks ugly...

Use references, preferably a picture in the background. Also watch your edgeflow. I think you should toss it and restart, that flow isn't salvageable.

Caradhras: It's better but still needs improvements. Look for vertices that don't change the form and remove them. E.g. below where the base and pillar connect there are four edges with a vertex in the middle that don't need those and on the dish-pillar connection there are two edges (perfectly horizontal) that contribute absolutely nothing. The 8 sided pillar is probably a bit much as well and you're not leaving any joints for the thing to rotate.

It isn't that bad for a first try without a step by step walkthrough I think, but It's probably better for everyone if I stick wtith boxy objects in the future, though. You haven't seen the head from the side, the guy got at least five tumors.

I made it down to 186 Tris ... but the images aren't updated yet.

@rattle:
I know, you'll cure him ^^

-fixed.

Heh... for truth ^^

(WIP)

Alright, since NOiZE tried to explain to me for a half an hour that the arms should look like the right one, here it is. I'm a bit slow today... :P. I still prefer the left one.

Opinions?

Both look AMAZING

i prefer left too and get rid of that arm logo :) very pretty

I like the left one and the head needs some sort of view window so the pilot can see out of the mech.

Left one, kill the arm logo. It's copyrighted content. THe model is still IP infringing however it's not outright violating copyright unlike the logo.

You guys might wanna come up with new logo's for the arm and core and slap those onto the models.

it dosent need a window/cockpit for hte pilot

why not, they are battle suits, would they have a camera instead?

not battle suits more like battlemechs.. think as tall as a macross mech. about 20-30 feet.

becuase they didnt have windows in TA. The core are computers, no need for windows etc, The arm are clones, but the current TA models donmt have windows - look at hte peewee. I'm sure after thousands of years they've come up with somthing better than a peice of flimsy perspex. Even now you don't need to be able to see directly out of stuff.. (Eurofighter for example).

the peewee has a blue plate on it's face I always believed that to be glass. However, it doesn't have to be a "window" persay, sensors are fine to. I just just trying to motion for something more then a metal block.

Actually it looks more like a block of withered stone.
