Random WIP 2006-2011

That's what your supposed to do. You only model the parts you need at minimum, e.g. one leg, one arm, one barrel. Then when its all UV mapped, you mirror them, and you've halved your workload already. Did you never wonder why all of smoths work in progress shots of gundams and zakus only have one arm and one leg?

I'm aware of that. I mean for this thing he should be taking it to the next level. Re-use forearms as biceps, reuse those little boxes, etc. His current model looks like the only place for reuse is the bilateral symmetry, and the toes.

Never ever mirror camo patterns, looks bad! Besides asynchronous details like insignias or different wear and tear make the model more interesting.

Literally mirroring half of your model makes it LOL HI REZ but BORING TO LOOK AT as well (in this case).

Things that should be mirrored:
anything that is small enough to go unnoticed like the ball joints, barrels etc.

...and I'm Pretty sure GMN knows about that

Just playing around in wings. A friend did a sketch of a random(though similar to a warrior) K bot for me, so I modeled it for him. First K bot Ive ever modeled so it probably full of bad modeling practices. The design is the way it is cause it as close to the drawing as I could make it. Just thought you guys might be interested since pictures are slow going on this forum.
