Sumea Challenge #7 - Bunny

cool idea. Is it going to be an armoured beetle, or beetle themed armour though? Either way I'm looking forward to how this idea turns out.

The original idea was beetle themed armour, but the thought had crossed my mind to go with the armoured beetle thing. I might do a cyborg-ey bug skin if time permits.

Boo! I'm back from the desolate wasteland of page 3 and I've brought someone with me...

Forgive my lack of progress, RL can be a beech at times. This charming fellow, now more or less complete, weighs in at 3498 tris. Crits would be appreciated, especially if they come soon because I really need to get unwrapping. :D

Wow, that?s pretty cool, and very original.
The only crit from me is to make sure it has enough edge loops around the shoulders and the top of the legs to deform properly. Can?t really tell without a wire, but it looks like it would animate fine.
So get unwrapping! [:)]

looks great! what kind of texture are you planning on? (just because its beetle themed dosent mean it has to resemble one from nature)

ATM I'm messing around with a near-future military skin, but I'm not sure yet. I'm borrowing a few ideas from newer fighter jets, the zig-zag panel lines and such.

Now you mention it I'm not sure about the joint deformation, but there's room to cut some more polys and add another loop or two if necessary, so I'll see how it goes. Thanks for the crits. :)

Do you ride a motorbike? the back of that beetle reminds me of a motorbike fuel tank. Pretty cool so far though.

awesome! i love it

As I was unwrapping I found TO MY HORROR! that the arms suck... gonna redo them and chances are I won't make the deadline. But when he's done I'll stick him up somewhere anyway.
