mim - Dominance WAR!

[mim]

Ok! it is our HOME! So let defend it! :grr:
Here is mim cornel! :grr:

[TheWinterLord]

Good luck, let the machine be with you!

[mim]

Just a quick sketchy head I did a moment after anouncing the brief! but my connection was lost so I send it now! ;)
a sketch wip concept of a killer machine head! :evil:

[mim]

this one is a whole concept!
I'll color it to be more recognizable tommorow! :smug:
:evil:

[hammering3D]

U move fast ... I can see now the enemys run in terror :)

[plasma3d]

A heavy death machine :evil:
Cool :cool:

[mim]

Just think how I'll kill em feeble organic models to have more fun: :smug:
let me compute! zzzzzzzzz! Ok! computed! ther is much ways as you see counted here:100010110101000101010110111101000010101010001 10100100100000011100000000001010100100010101011110 00010010110100001001010111111111111111110001001000 00000000000000000101010101010101010! :evil:

[mim]

A really quick sketch! I have big truble with my time! but I handle it anyway :grr:
so I'm a machine with endless energy suply! :evil:

I want some fair original concepts! :smug: n I'll try more in first chance! :grr:

[frostsnake]

like what you got going with the head, the latest is maybe to much vehicle like..to be alowed..

[mim]

Strong hands added! :evil:
that one on up of image is a machingun! not a turbin! :smug:
Lets' be :evil:!
--------
PS: ooops! we both post in same time frostsnake! tnx but that was a uncomplet one! n now what you think buddy?! ;) btw this is uncomplet yet but formed more atlast! :smug:

[mim]

EXTRA HIGH JUMPER ROBOT! (first concept sketches!)
:grr:

[Kalango]

wee hehe keep it up man.....cant wait to see ya modelling!

[krazy_kidd1]

by the way, i tried to model somethin low poly with the wheel/tread based movement and it was relatively difficult to make it look good and still be believable that it rolls on those things. just lettin you know -- but great concepts :] keep it up! ps. i like your gif :]

[gordon13]

Lol great concepts!

[Vitor]

I think one of biggest difficulties is to make a real char form a robot, for example i think you are tending a bit for the vehicle side. I don't mean the wheels specificaly but the overall look of it.

[bb0x]

yeah it looks too much like vehicles now and that isnt allowed...so i think you should consider some redesigns...

I think something like the "enemy robot in robocop" would suit you better :)

edit--
the ED-209!
gogle it up for referencing

[BiG ToE-3DT]

ED-209, that thing still freaks me out, the way his programming always screws up, then blows away everyone in the room. We need one of those on our team.

[mim]

Kalango, tnx buddy, I hope start modeling end of this week :D
krazy_kidd1, tnx too, I know what you say n guess how to fix that but anyway I wont go with that panzer! ;)
gordon, tnx ;)
Vitor n bb0x, tnx dudes but I think you look wrong! just think what's a robot! your problem it is that you want see a robot or machine was right like human! but our topic is MACHINES not human-like-machines or even humans itself!! I saw most ppl gone for si-fi humans instead of machines! n I don't mind cause I dont know that these aren't aceptable but I know that it is alowed for sure about what you call vehicle!
btw it isn't a vehicle! it is just a movment system that used as a part of these machines! n no any more!! n even that it was, just one of my four concept have a non-human-like moving system! n others as you see have exactly foots n hands!! :dunno: btw tnx again n hope I can say my mean truly! ;)
BiG ToE, tnx buddy ;) ya it is really good idea :haha: but as I say befor I like more to make a original concept :smug: and tnx for suggestion again comrad! ;)
I like that Extra Height Jumper concept sofar myself more but I may try alil more discovering my dreams so if I can find something better!!! :D
but I wonder really what you think?! :evil:

[bb0x]

you dont have to make a humanoid...but just keep in mind that you dont overdo it that it loks too much like a vehicle :)

[hammering3D]

pesonaly I like Extra Height Jumper is verrry original an unique, I did't saw other like that in movies or drawings ...

but how he kill ? ... it hit them with the uper part ?

I think this is cool to have an 10tones robot that jump in the air and then smash the blood out of them :) ... and the oponents I think will become verry fritened to see that huge beast jumping to them :evil: :evil: :evil:

[mim]

tnx guys ;) I just like to give my robots as much abilities as possible! so those feeble fleshes havn't any chance!
btw I add a jet motor again! it makes my robot so strong! n I like these thingis! :crazy: :drool: :smug:
hammering3D, He have strong weapons but still in design state! so you can see how hell he can create when he gives all weapons! :evil:
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
I added here hands to clearify idea more! sorry I havn't more time for now :( but I render it tommorow :D
Yah! let smash all fleshes! :xx: :evil:

[mim]

:wall: I have no time! :wall:
:grr: btw foot changed! :grr:

[mim]

let me know wich of these looks better?! :dunno:
huge-aged-swiwel or ying-yang-nuke-plasma-fluids! :evil:

[hammering3D]

mim I prefer ying and yang nuke,
and btw I like better the new foot :D is like a mechanical adidas, nice concept

[mim]

tnx buddy ;)
---
I guess my concept sketches is finall n enough, so I'll go for make a perspective draw n then start modeling in next days! YAH! :grr:

[mim]

Ahh! forget to say! I have an Idea about a secret weapon that I'll add to EHJ-33! :evil:
:grr: :grr: :grr:
btw is that character clear n recognizable to you?! cause my poor EN, I ignor to explain all parts but if you want I can do it! ;) for now just say that it is on jumping pose! :dunno: he jumps many kilometers in ones! :evil: n with a extrem high speed! :evil:
cya, mim :grr:

[Oltskul]

i like the "swivel"...
it´s more mechanical...

[frostsnake]

like the idea, remember to place the ballance right, now I think he would jump backwards...unless that engine one the back will make him trust forward..
looking forward to 3d model, but dont stress the model before you realy decided on the design, more time on the concept, the less work and questioning it will be for the 3dmodel. :)
good luck!

[mim]

Oltskul-tnx, I didn't decide yet! :dunno:
frostsnake-tnx dude, really good notice on balance point, :D it is a pose problem n I fix that when posing character, btw I started modeling by now! :dunno:

I did many other concepts buddies! so if you don't like this EHJ-30! plz let me know! ;) Right?! :) :wall:!

whoa, his really a lot wider than i would have thought him to be. 2500 poly atm?
nice. keep at it man :D

[mim]

']whoa, his really a lot wider than i would have thought him to be. 2500 poly atm?
nice. keep at it man :D
Hey panzer! :wave: :)
ya, it's wide! cause it helps him to flight n jump more distances n with less energy comsuming! :smug:
btw it is 2500 tris, n not poly, so is it so high yet? or enough for this level? :hurt:
I use a smooth group of 1 for whole of model! :dunno:

[hammering3D]

hehe, yes is alot more wider then I imagine to :),
look good for the moment

[mim]

tnx hammering ;)
:haha: :haha: :haha:
I'm going to a vacation! 2 days from now! although I'll workin on it tonight n might post an update :D otherwise I'll be off till monday :D
goodluck to all of you comrads!
cya later! ;)

looking solid, nice start. - no vacation until after DWII :evil:

lol! tnx buddy!
I have to go cause my friends will kill me if I say them I'm on war! so it is better that I come back after 2 days captivity than I died befor start my battle!
also I'll think to my concepts n my char whole of this 2 days (hopfully!) since thought you don't like that EHJ-30 concept really or so?!
cya all, n really really tnx ;)
mim, :wave:

[Agent-X]

Cool concepts man! keep up the good work

John Inman

[mim]

tnx for support Agent, ;)

Ok, I'm back now with fulllll powered engines! n ready for go on the battlefield! so let me start my refreshed engines! :evil:

[mim]

Ok! :D a quick job! :smug:

[FistOfGod]

hey man! Just checking to see how the robot is coming along? Have not seen any posts in a few days. He is pretty wide, looks like he can jump pretty high! Keep us posted!

Waylon

[mim]

tnx Waylon ;) ya I can't work on my robot for a while cause of some client projects! :dunno: btw tnx for support buddy ;)
--------------------------------------------------
Ok, I changed concept abit; thought he need a flight helmet n goggles to jump in high! :smug:
so this is the new head! let me know if you don't like it or before one or both! :wall: :D
tnx, mim, :haha:

[0202742]

Great model, really creative and nicely optimized, i find it a little visually humurous, mostly in the running poses which i love, based on how it looks at the moment hopefully they will not judge the models on intimidation.

[mim]

Hey 0202742! tnx for feedback buddy! ;) btw I want make it wild n dangerous n still impassive n Imperturbable! :evil: so it’s not completely humorous just alil that expected from a machine!!! but even if it was, just lookin at pre-year best works, :dunno: as you see some winners have some humor on their work! n still dangerous!! Btw this year cartoonish style is acceptable too although I don’t want to go for stylized look for mine this year! ;)

Tnx again, mim, :wave:

[mim]

Ok, I added strong hands, so he can transfer a huge weapon! :evil:
Let me know what you think about hands, is it weird?! I think it is atm! :xx: :D
mim, :haha:


PS: ahh! I planed to give him a fluid topography map (plasma like!) front of his head! :dance:

[0202742]

I think they look a little weird but if they did not they would not fit the rest of the model, so i think they are spot on at the moment, keep them this way, lovin it.

[0202742]

If you still have loads of polys left maybe you could round them off a little without massively changing the shape or the proportions.

[mim]

0202742, I decide to change hand, you'r right as I guess it's weird! :hmm: so it's next step!
-----------------------------------
For now I added engine exhausts :D,
mim, :haha:


PS: don’t mind about mat! :P

[squirl]

wow, thats guna look realy creapy! if anyone is scared of clowns or something kinda surreal like that, there guna start a runnin when the see this comin for them. p.s. that material is kinda funky, lil like pencel scetch. enjoy the weekend!!:D

[mim]

Hey dude it was just in half way! or even less than half! just let I give his weapon n make it n-mapped then look at him! :evil: it goes to be wild n wilder!! ;P :crazy:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++

Ok I changed hands! so are you like em ?! btw say me wich of these looks better?! with that nails or without?! :)

tnx, mim, :wave:

[Kalango]

looking nice man, but i still dont know how this is going to work....i dont understand a thing...but its getting nice :)

[mim]

Kalango, tnx buddy:), it is becouse I present it on jumping pose (being jumpin!) as you saw it's alil confusing thing how it works! so I put a standing pose here to show what's it really! :dunno: :)


tnx again for supports,mim, :wave:





PS: Ahh btw, it is a huge robot that not presented on this FOV cam, :dunno: :D

[hammering3D]

mim buddy this is a wiked concept, can't wait for the finale :)

I prefer without nails, nails are to human and we hate humans :D

[Kalango]

Hum now i see clearly! nice man!

[Tommy_T]

Lookin real good. Going through your whole thread was a little freaky at times (one of the most original i've seen so far) but it all comes together at the end. Very nice design lookin forward to seeing it textured!

[praveen3d]

Wow! really looking great mim, can't wait to see the textured version:)

[mim]

Tnx for all the supports :) :wave:

Ok I changed it abit in joints n somewhere to give it more abilities on movements n more aerodynamic shape! So if you approved it I’ll go for lowpoly version of weapons next step, n then Hi-res versions n mappin, :D

So let me know if you approve changes or you have some idea or critics befor I start next level, :dunno:
tnx in advance, :) n apreciate for seeing, :wave:

mim, :haha:

[Tommy_T]

I'm really liking this design and the knee caps\guards make it look like a more stable machine but I dont think the spikes really go with the over all design. just a little crit.

[mim]

Tnx Tommy_T, good crit, I agree too, I noticed it also n changed it yesterday, I just remove that spikes n leave some cube like sensores instead! ;)
tnx again, mim :)

[mim]

fast consept for weapon inspired by a m79! :D

mim, :haha:

[squirl]

i like the nails, it adds to the crazyness. :D i dunno, i think you migh need a bigger gun. (heh, joking).

[mim]

Ahh, no way! you'r right, so I'll go for a huge one! he can't give this toy weapon on his hands! :D
mim, :haha:

[george.vas]

Nice original model, feet seem a little to simplistic when based off the rest of the model. I absolutely love the hands and torso. Gun looks cool but not something I would see this machine slinging. Now if you made it a double barrel and changed the wood to chrome and gave him two of them then I would be intimidated. ;)

[zerorhythm]

I don't know about the nails but it's looking pretty good so far! good luck... fight to win!
and btw, the teapot has boiled... so now comes my entry updates.

[mim]

tnx george ;) I'll come with my new weapon soon, I'm workin on it right now, n about feet I'm just agree I'll add more details on n-mapping also might add some more tuning befor go to mappin :)
tnx zero, glad u lik it :)

mim, :haha:

[mim]

if foible is on foots, why don't change them?!
plz say is it better or not?

mim, :)



PS: note that I created just the general shape of new foots with some cubes!

[Klash120]

Hmm.. I like the feets better. Gives him more of that 'robot' feeling ;p
I'd say go w/ the new changes!

[gridlinked]

Yeah, the new changes definitely improve upon the design, they make him look more robotic and imposing.

[mim]

Tnx klash n gridlink for supports :wave: so I'll go with new plan, :)
=================================================


an update! I have up to 1k tris yet! any idea! :dunno:

mim, :haha:

[mim]

it's just to show my idea for tow skull I wonna make on knees, I did it quickly so don't mind about ugly faces! :D
I'll do it tommorow to use as much as possible of my 6k tris!!! :haha: :smug:
btw I have an awsome idea for that that'll be presented soon! :lame:

mim, :)

[george.vas]

I like the new design. An idea for using the extra 1k would be to add hydraulics.

[mim]

tnx geaorge, good idea ;)
=========================
1 hours on skull sofar, it is around 300 tris by now, next I'll optimize it for somthing near 200 or so! :dunno:

cya, mim, :)

[mim]

Skull tris optimaized from 346 --to--> 178 tris, ;)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
any other idea about my aditional tris ?! :D

mim, :wave:

[mim]

just to show how looks skulls atm, :D
n I'm on it now again! :shout:

mim, ;)

[mim]

as you see 5976 tris atm! so any idea for remaining tris?!!:dunno: (Dont mind! jus kiddin! :haha:)
===-===-===-===-===-===-===-===-===-===-===-===-===-===
I'm goin for weapon n unwraping in next attack! :D
n your comments would be help on the hard way! ;)

mim, :)

[squirl]

looking good mim. heh, maby you could make a smiley face disk to put on the front, irony. no, i kid. good look with the unwrapping, im havin trouble with mine atm. can wait to see the gun model.

[xissburg]

Hey mim, very nice war machine, of course :). I love the entire design. So you have 24 triangles . . . make some small screws or boxes/cylinders and put them on somewhere just to add some details. Keep up the quality of your work. Good luck with texturing. . .

[mim]

squirl,lol :D, tnx buddy, goodluck with yours too ;)
xissburg, tnx comrad ;) good idea, btw I optimized it now n I have 104 tris now remained! n yet more details added!! :D n about details I'll add more on n-mapping soon :evil: , tnx again :)

mim, :wave:

[mim]

whatyathink?! :D

[hammering3D]

OMG is so nice tuch :) ... he look so inocent how he check that map, hmm how shood I kill next...who shood I kill next :D ... then he just jump kilometers in the air and kill them all ...

[bb0x]

looks dope man :D i would go for number 2...i first thought it was a shield....imo you should use it as some kind of weapon also....or just a destroying shield....like flesh touches it and it burn it away instantly :)

[Tank[NL]]

ooh, funky work man :D

looks sweet. i'd use the one in the orange render, looks the best imho.

[mim]

a quick sketch of weapon concepts! :dunno:

[Tank[NL]]

how is he holding on to them? what is the front? other than that, hehe, looks like you could makesome pretty big booms with that thing :D

[mim]

he hold it by these tow handles! :dunno: but guesse I have to make them stronger n supported with something! :D
n you see it from back! cause front is to polycounts right now! :evile:
n yesss! I like somthing made pretty big booms! :D
btw I'll send some other concept to choose one tommorow :)

tnx tank, mim, :)

[0202742]

Absolutely loving every bit of your model, well done.

[mim]

tnx 0202742 for all the supports :)
Unfortunately I’m hardly sick :( a strong rheum! :cry: So I hope return to it tomorrow :)

tnx again, sick mim :cry:

[Lord Rancid]

Hey man.
This last version has really grown on me...The one thing I would say that confuses\concerns me with the design is the knee-cap skulls...They kinda don't fit with all the other clean shapes and I think they kinda distract and detract from a really unique and interesting design....
P.S. Really loving the map thingy...

[redonix76]

Man, you're really getting your model done! Looking very nice man. Keep it up!

[ez5k]

it's cool robot, mim! :)
really mechanical. gl with textures.

[mim]

tnx lord rancid, about knee-cap skulls I heard same thing from my friends here also n I think same way sometime lookin on that! :D so I’m in doubt if remove them or not! :dunno: but let me decide when seeing textured version cause I imagine a classic design look textures for somewhere too! btw let me know what ya think, ;)
redonix76, tnx dude ;) your model goes really good too, one of those I lookin consistent;)
ez5k, tnx ;) I’m goin for textures n n-maps :D
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+ *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*


ok here is one page of sketches I did in my busy time of works, fast n on the way that just understood by myself! :( I wonna go for one on the right hand of page :dunno: I post some 3D sketches asap! ;)
btw I’m in doubt between some other concepts also atm! :dunno:

Cya, busybusy mim!, :hurt:

[mim]

in progrrrrrress! :ufo:

mim, ;)


PS: sometimes I disapointed in progress time but I fight to finish (I'll try to! atlast!) :dance:

[mim]

even more disapointed! :D continuing yet! :dunno:
ahh! guess I need more tris for this one! :faces:

mim, :xx:

[neolith]

Don't give this up man,you're going great!

[mim]

tnx for supportin neolith n kind words :),

I'm back on it now n hope finish weapon today (a busy day just like other days!)
ahh this is around 984 tris right now! so I'm hardly optimize it for mor details! :D

cya, mim, :o

[mim]

Exactly 1K tris right now! :D

[hammering3D]

hehe mim, I like the tiny, little gun :D,

The 2 things from uper part is a binoculars ? ... he look on the back side and see from front ?...if is that, I think for shure the device have lot of magnify and he see far far away :)

don't give up, fight man fight

[mim]

tnx buddy ;) it is'nt binocular btw cauese he didn't need it! these are tow strong guns! :D n it isn't a little gun too! it's just abit biger than main character! so you see tow motor jets insides of it to help EHJ-30 keepin it easily! :D n there is a machinegun also :D
I will explain the concept more later with an update on maping! probably a uw test or so! :/

mim, :wave:

[hammering3D]

abut little gun I was just joking because is so huge :D

But binoculars I trough like that, because how he keep his head is like he watch in that litle thing in the back of the gun ...

but if it's not a bioncular, how he see in front ? ...maybe U cood put an camera in midle between the 2 big guns and an lcd screen in the back of the gun :D

[Kalango]

nice looking weapon you got there mim! This with the texture should kickass!

[mim]

yea hammering it is a LCD screen on back of weapon but with no analogue camera! it uses some radar technologies to find objects behind anything! :D
Kalango, tnx buddy for your support, btw I'm on texterin right now n I think for n-map too, so any idea would be great help :)

mim, :wave:

[hammering3D]

ahh finaly got it buddy :),

btw the weapon si great i like it so huge, and the ideea with 2 motors jets to help keep the weapon si super sweet :D

[taehoon]

Well_organized UV layout...~~ Great man.~

[redonix76]

Wow, what big guns you have there!! Good job man, You're almost there! Can't wait to see it textured.

[mim]

Tnx taehoon :o , redonix76 n hammering3D for supports you motivate me to continue, although there is not enough time :( n I’m really busy nova days but I decide to speed up works and complete it anyways!

I work a lot on z-brush (for first time!) and achieve good results but when I export it as *.obj, max can’t import it! :cry: so I decide to make details in max as possible! :dunno: here is the result atm, n I grab a n-map test also and it’s good too sofar, I’ll work on weapon more n hope complete details today or tomorrow, then is robot turn! ;)

tnx for supports, mim :wave:

[mim]

just an update! :dunno:

mim, ;)

[praveen3d]

Hey mim, that's coming along really nice man, Waiting to see the final textured beast :)

[0202742]

If you wan't to import .obj's into max make sure that what you are importing is less than 500000 poly's otherwise max will crash, if your model has more polys than this which is quite likely try exporting your model in parts, then if you like you can allways reattach the parts in max. It seems to me like you have allready solved your importing problem but i was just mentioning this in case. Anyway the model is looking great and i too love the big mama of a gun.

[mim]

OMG! Damn!
I dunno really WHAT happened?! I just has workin on it n suddenly this damned thing happened! Something like you remove one edit poly modifier bottom of one you’re workin on! You know what happen! All things changed! Every thing goes wrong! My God! Really nonsense! When I back on my previously saved backups, they were all in same way! :crazy:, I lost all works of half of day!
Thought it caused by max, because files that I was saved before it damned thing, are in same way! All crashed! Tnx to god, it’s just in one part! :dunno:
My god! WHY?!!! :grr:
btw are you have any idea?! is it happend to you before?! :dunno:

[0202742]

I would have to say that although the detail you have recently added is really impressive from an artistic point of view, i can't see much practical purpose in it. I do however suggest that you continue to add this leval of detail to the rest of the model now, it would look odd now if you did not do so. Well done for doing such a great artistic job. Can't wait to see it finished.

[mim]

Tnx buddy :), but I don’t understand your mean truly! I have many back-ups of this model in several levels of progress! So every time I want, it’s possible to back on em! (removing details!)
I really like to know how these details looks on others eye?! Are you like the simplest one? (About practical purposes, just don’t worry, it’s a robot n full of wires n several parts) so just say what you think about whole of this as a robot?! What you suggest?! Simplest or one high detailed?!
It is important to me! So I’ll wait for your responds! All of you, plz! ;)

Tnx in advance, mim, :dunno:

Being perfectly honest i think that your model looks more practical without all of the surface detail (they remind me of Aztec temple wall art detail). I think that regarding the judging criteria the details won't help. If you are looking to impress people with your art (you may also be looking for work through this competition?), i think that you should add the details as they display more artistic and 3d ability. Good luck with getting responses and making your decision.

Definately continue on the details! It will give this fine piece of metal a soul. It may be more artistical than practical, but hey what is it that counts in the long run when it comes to gameart(if we count in that the model worked properly from the start)? Looks! What makes the Strogg race what they are, looks! What makes the tyranid so freakin awesome, looks! And what makes that big wierd cyclop in supreme commander so damn cool despite the question if it's actually necessary to build an unstable tall mech when you can simply have it as a solid tank that wouldn't tilt if it got hit by a fatboy on a slope? You got my point, LOOKS!

This robot is very interesting and wouldn't hurt if it got more interesting, so I vote for detail! :D

[mim]

tnx friends :), ok so with 3 votes for more details, we would go for more details!
btw I hope to finish hp till tomorrow, tnx again n cya! ;) you really motivate me! :D

Dystopic FTW! :D
Teal and different tones of gray and black, hta's what I suggest.

And about the text. As I see it it should instead say "It's the last words from the last human. Just before I died I made it! I destroyed the human kind! - mim 1982".
Well, it's rather a suggestions from my part how it should be. But it could be cool to have some incorrect english in it. It's more comical. :)

[0202742]

How on earth did you model the writing? Must be some kind of normal map plugin?

[FistOfGod]

Looking cool man. I'm liking the new design over the original as well. Let's finish this war!

very good mim. very nice details and text( :) ). Good luck!

[mim]

tnx comrades for all your kind words, :)
AimBiZ, tnx for suggestions :), I like that color scheme n going to try it, ;)
0202742, it’s not a plug-in it’s simply a text! on Max n on shape section you can find it, then just apply an Extrude or Bevel modifier to it! ;)

btw by now I’m working on UWs for robot, I’m almost finished it! :D


mim, :haha:

[0202742]

Ahh i see, good idea. Good luck with the Uv's i am just finishing mine also.
