My First Model: Mecha WIP

[A N T I]

Ah, as the title says, this is my first try at a model (I use maya btw). Got tired of doing them tutorials.

Anyway: I was a little to impatient to get started, so I forgot to make concept design. Everything was made up at the go so well...

anyway, here's some pics, and for the next step I need to texture, so anyone know of any good texturing tutorials? any ideas for how to do it, colours etc? if so, please respond :) (the colours I have used here is primarly to show the diferent parts)

(oh and about wire, how do I show those in a proper way?

looks like a pretty good start.

as for textures, check out this amazing tutorial (http://www.3dtotal.com/ffa/tutorials/max/joanofarc/joanmenu.asp)
"section 4" has what looks like a great explanation of UVW mapping.
