nice clean concept snowflake :)

my 2 cents:
- the hands look too small
- it would be good if his feet were made up of two parts. would make walking with large feet like that smoother.

keep it up! ;)

Very nice, i agree the hands are a little small but rest of it looks very cool.

i would lift the gun slightly of the shoulder otherwise its gunna pinch the back and shoulder and stretch the textures when it moves up and down(ugly)
i agree with inglis two parts for the feet (toes) otherwise it wont walk right.
look at some giger
http://www.hrgiger.com/
your design seems to be heading in that direction

giger fluffs us all.

told you the hands were too small, hows the poor guy sposed to jerk it!!

See you took the matrix battery idea, nasty way to live really.
Its bad enough when you lick a 9 volt battery let alone being one.
Apart from the hands and the toes, I think you should show the head has some sort of sensors and relays as you said, at the moment its pretty redundant.

Thanks for the feed back guys.

after a bit of modelling today, I have bits of the barrel done and the feet.

I'm going to realy have to think about hands its the second concept I have posted were people said my hands were to small. (Not that the model turns out that way.)

Inglis: the way I was going to have the feet is as his foot rolls forwards the bit at the front (toe) slides in. then slide back out as his feet move off the ground. (that is posable because his real toes hang above the Metal ones. I can post a picture of were his body sits in the machine if you real want.)

Shiptu_shaboo: The gun on his back is attached to his back plate. (like the generator at the back.) and there won't be in many positions then the one he is in. It will mostly be leg movement.
(What am I ment to be looking at from "giger")

Sorceror Bob: I don't think his realy worried about that.

Malus: I figured no one in there right mind would want to be in such a weird position. (I'm sure you can imagion the back problems.) thats why I thought the Matrix (or something along the lines of it) would be good. I agree with you about adding senors to the head.
its just if I put them onto the concept it looked like the head was part of the arm or something weird. I'll either concept it when I get up to it or just deign it as I'm making it.

Well hope I covered everything. If I've gone totally off the track then please let me know :)

Post ya later.

nice work.
very heavy,just wondering what the polycount is on that?

Submitted by Malus on Sat, 22/03/03 - 9:21 AM Permalink

its way over 3000 polys. Looks accurate to the concept though. :P

Pete (snowflake)was having too much fun with this guy and kept adding more and more detail.

looken good - optimise it though you bum!

lol
do a high poly and a low poly version :)

i dont think theres anyway of optimising those legs.
but nice legs mate, now thats something i never thought i would say.
