Work in progress

Just reserving a thread for a bit of one on one 3D model building combat between myself and Goldenchocobo.
In this thread we will post wips and the like, open for comments and critique to all and sundry.

The Rules Short and Sweet

A Warjack of choice
6000 poly (tri)
1024 texture, normal and specular maps.
Due Midnight the 21st of August or there abouts.

Have at thee.

popawheelie: Feel free to construct a War Jack using the same constraints stipulated here, but I would ask that start a new thread for it, just because more then 2 people posting WIPs and getting feedback in one thread gets a little messy and hard to follow.

will you both be recreating the models (eg, cool little display dias included), or interpreting the design in your own way?

Just thought I?d post a WIP so that people didn?t think we had died, we have just been milestone coloured busy.
Got a chunk of tightening to do and a lot of detail to add to this the basic mesh. Currently about 3500 triangles.
What can I say but trying to figure out what the hidden joints and internals are supposed to be has been an endeavor. Hopefully I?m not to far wrong.

JI: Well I can?t speak for Golden but I am going an amalgamation of the two but with preference given to the concept sketch. I also would like to include a little diorama thing to give the final pose and shot some character, and so I can do a quick try at normal mapping before I attempt to do it for the main mesh.

Currently about 6130 tris. Still a long way to go.
JI: I am just trying to make some thing that represents the thing, not being to concerned with stylising it. I am mainly using the shots of the model as reference and sometimes going back to the concept for clarification. It might end up like something inbetween. I will defineately be taking liberties on certain sections of the model.
