--BiG ToE-- --Dominance WaR--

[BiG ToE-3DT]

They say our blood(oil) will blot out the sun.

Then I say, we fight(model) in the shade.

This is where I take my stand.

[mim]

Blood n oil! it's obvious wich is feeble!
goodluck warior! ;)

[Klash120]

War!!!!!!!! *shouts battle cry* Hey! Just wanted to say your cyber model came out pretty awesome, I like her feather duster of a weapon >;p

[BiG ToE-3DT]

hehehe, yeah that didn't come out the way I saw it in my head.

[Kalango]

see you in war sarge! lets fget it on!

[yoyomon]

Good to see you siding with the machines over the 'good' guys. Now all I need is for my avatar to get a helmet and I'll be set. Well off to the army surplus store!

[BiG ToE-3DT]

I wouldn't have it any otherway.

[novoAlias]

Post something already :p

[BiG ToE-3DT]

I'm getting my refrences together as I type.

[BiG ToE-3DT]

think I will toss abit of everything together to make the ultimate: whatever
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/DJBiGToE/ref.jpg

[novoAlias]

slick reference! The angel-robot looks awesome. So are you going for stealth or dreadnought?

[BiG ToE-3DT]

I'm going for an up close and personal killer type assassin. Large enough to take on gun fire without being damaged too much, but small enough to get in and out of areas without being seen. Heavy armour in the upper body to protect vital parts, less armour in the legs to keep him fast on his or her feet.

Then I think I'll wrap it all up in a nice Threedy blue.

[jackal_k]

Yer you have some very nice refs, are you going for a kind of DOOM-Quake-with a littel HR. Giger kind of thing?
BlackWolf
So are you going for stealth or dreadnought?
I was under the impression that it had to be stealth am I mistaken ?, but if you can make a dreadnought that is so cool

[Laughing_Bun]

you can basically make any type of warrior you want. On the dominance page they list various differnet kinds. The name "shadow" is just misleading

[jackal_k]

Thank you very much for clearing that up for me Laughing_Bun , The name shadow is misleading, I’m so glade it doesn’t have to be stealth, like come on how are we meant to make stealth robots lol

[Opul]

Thank you very much for clearing that up for me Laughing_Bun , The name shadow is misleading, I’m so glade it doesn’t have to be stealth, like come on how are we meant to make stealth robots lol

**Create a "Shadow" with one or more of these proficiencies: (these are only a few of many other possibilities)
Penetration, Assassination, Recovering, Demolishing, Sharp Shooting, Hand to Hand Combat Specialist, Stealth, Spying, Deception, Searching, Tactician, Weapon Specialist, Defender, Navigation Specialist, Space Combat Specialist, etc.
**

^^That might help ya Jackal, especially the 'Weapons Specialist' bit ;)

[BiG ToE-3DT]

while I was sitting around trying to figure out what I want to do, I messed around with an idea for my base.

[Deto]

Come on big Toe, its time to start the war! ;)

[Diabolos]

hows that design comin'

D,

[mim]

nice base big-toe ;) full ruiny look! awsom! :D wonder to see which machin sits there! :evil:
mim, :wave:

[BiG ToE-3DT]

ok, ok, I'll start drawing up some stuff tonight. Have something ugly to look at soon.

[BiG ToE-3DT]

started messing with pen and paper

[gridlinked]

Monocycles are cool! :smug:

[yoyomon]

Intresting concept, I can just imagine the robot racing at full speed into a crowd of civillians and making limbs fly around by simpoly swinging his head around with that large disc. *sigh* the ease of killing...

your walls look a bit thin though

[Agent-X]

Interesting concept BigToe, I cant wait to see it in 3d. How about some spikes to go on the sides of the Tire maybe?

John Inman
Agent-X

[Ken113]

For your first concept image, I really like the top middle one, as well as the the bottom left one. Nice form, seam agile, but deadly. great art work. looking forward to it, which ever one it is.

As for the base, I like it also, just hope there is enough room to stand.

[defaultalias]

toe, you going for the *secret* weapon? i double dare ya...

[BiG ToE-3DT]

toe, you going for the *secret* weapon? i double dare
ya...


I got your secret weapon:

Still need to work on his mechanical testicals. But I might just do that while modeling. Other than that, what do you guys think. Is it too original?

[simple_minded]

Reminds me of a movie I saw once............


!BAMF!

[MonteCristo]

hmmm. Simple, did you notice the huge, gattling gun attached to his cod-piece? Nice addition Toe. All he needs now are some ammunition breasts. Hey, robots are supposed to be androgenous, right?

[Kalango]

hehe rocked on the modeling...is his penis a acid trowler weapon or something? watch out ladies!

[BiG ToE-3DT]

he is the proctologist of the army. He uses his talent to interagate the enemy untill they spill the information.

[ThatDon]

zomg this thread delivers

[defaultalias]

wow, he actually did it!

[Freespace-3DT]

Just like the Goliath from Starcraft :D

[BiG ToE-3DT]

yeah, so I'm done. Just need to put him on a base and wait for the due date.

[MonteCristo]

Ha Ha Ha Ha Haaaaa!!!

[Tank[NL]]

well, anyway the ladies wont say no to him. they'll get shot in half if they do....

[shadowbreeze]

best thing i've seen for now why didn't they have that in the mov he would of Creamed the jedi then.

OH and WERE ARE YOU, COME ON, Show us

[blankslatejoe]

hahahahahaha--codpiece gatling guns rule!

[RickStefani]

hahahahahahah,

I noticed he is mising some barrels. There are drugs to fix that. cough cough, so I have heard. :crazy:

[Klash120]

So Toe, havnt seena new screenshot from you in a while ;p
Still w/ us?

[V3N0M]

O_o... as if the neon vibrators he was waving around weren't enough

[BiG ToE-3DT]

kinda was out of town for a few days, but I'm back now and ready to get busy. Now that I got most of my ideas in order, I should have a real model on the way by the end of the week.

[BiG ToE-3DT]

ok, so after abit of computer trouble, I finally sat down and started modeling.

This is the basic idea for the gun/weapon. Hangs under the arm, real heavy, 3 barrels, made to kill. Still tossing ideas around, so if you have any, let me know, I'm listening.
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/DJBiGToE/004-11.jpg

[BiG ToE-3DT]

ok, ok, I flipped the gun, looks good this way too.
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/DJBiGToE/008-4.jpg

[Tank[NL]]

welcome back, big toe.

was wondering why we hadnt seen an update form you in a while..

as for the gun, it doesnt really look intimidating. i dont get the idea of him rolling up to folks, showing this weapon and people say: "ooh sh*t, he got a gun.

not real helpfull, i know, sorry bout that. maybe something like a power/ammo feed.

what kind of bot you had i mind? all we know is that rough sketch, so no idea what kind of style you are looking to get.

gl tho man, i know it will turn out amazing, and make the rest of us look like idiots :)

ok, so you posted again. nv what i said before, looks better now, even though it is just up-side-down. gl man :D

[BiG ToE-3DT]

yeah, it doesn't look like much, but I'm hoping thats because it's hard to tell the scale of it right now.

Also, the idea behind the gun is this:

the two/twin barrels are used to suck in or absorb surrounding life energy and concentrate it. The larger barrel then takes that concentrated life energy and blasts it back at anything still standing. Like a nuclear exlposion, life energy expands rappidly, destroying all it touches. After seeing this take place, just once, the enemy will not laugh, but scream, as their life force is riped away from their bodies.

The best part of this gun is the fact that you dont have to aim to use it. Any life force within range will be plucked. Also, has a built in MP3 player.

[MonteCristo]

Hmm, and MP3 player? Nice touch. A bit far-fetched though. I mean the whole life-sucking part, that I can believe. But a portable music player...? Music? Anywhere the robot wants it...? That's mental.

[BiG ToE-3DT]

MonteCristo: this take place in the future, so my guess is they will have portable music players by then. But then, I might just be crazy

started on the helmet/head. There will be no eyes, but I'm thinking he may want ears to listen to his music.
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/DJBiGToE/004-12.jpg
does it look like anything you've seen before.

[MonteCristo]

Well, whatever you say. I can't imagine it personally. Music, anywhere. No way.

The head looks OK so far. Simple. The gun is very retro-looking. I need to see how these will tie together.

[defaultalias]

hey toe, do you watch Gundam? if not, google the "zaku" "rick dom" or "gouf" mobile suits. they have a mono eye, and the eye moves all around the helmet. could be very cool.

[Klash120]

Head reminds me of 'Robo Cain' from Robocop :p http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/8356/cain.jpg

I think adding what Default said, a Mono-eye, would make it awesome.

[BiG ToE-3DT]

defaultalias: I will look into it. Maybe add an eye on the inside, and have the "armor plate thing open or something. Like "Cain"

Klash120: not sure how you found that picture, but I'm glad you did. I was going for the "Cain" look, but had to go from memory. All the pics I found where way to small, and from funny angles. This "Cain" wont thrive on drugs, but on the ****** remains of the enemy."green blood is the best blood".

Quick update: working on the torso
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/DJBiGToE/008-5.jpg
after the torso, I'll hit this portable music player, or mP2(squared), as I like to all it. I might need to copy right the idea, wouldn't want anyone stealing it and getting rich.

[mim]

I wonder really wich kind of music this dude will be listen?! lol :D
weapon seems better this way, how much tris it have atm?
btw are you usin patch work technique for it?!
anyway cool work sofar ;) GL with the way :D

mim, :haha:

[BiG ToE-3DT]

so I played with it some more today, pushing 2500 tris.
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/DJBiGToE/014-3.jpg
I'm thinking my guy may get seperated from the rest of the army and to help him, or others find their way back, I'm creating a device that will tell you where you are, anywhere in the universe. I call it a Universal Positioning System.

[ThatDon]

his nipples are indented good sir.

Very clean modeling though, keep it up!

[BiG ToE-3DT]

not really feeling the legs, so I'll be redoing them in the future. This is why you should model without a solid concept.
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/DJBiGToE/018-2.jpg

[BiG ToE-3DT]

Still playing with the legs:
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/DJBiGToE/004-13.jpg

[BiG ToE-3DT]

Pushing the limit, 5000 tris at the moment. Still needs arms of some kind. And maybe a weapon change.
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/DJBiGToE/008-6.jpg

[ThatDon]

looking hawt my friend

[free-willy]

new legs are a huge improvement,looking good.if i can get my entry done in time i'll come looking for you first :)

[BiG ToE-3DT]

I'll be waitng for you Willy, I'll be the one standing on top of FredH and The Magnetic's bodies.

[EvilKnight]

Love it!

[BiG ToE-3DT]

Just playing around with an attached weapon, I kinda like it, but Ithink the proportions and placement are off. Good news is I have all day to play around with it.
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/DJBiGToE/012-2.jpg

[free-willy]

beef up his thighs and the gun,everythings too thin at the moment.although my character fires live ammo(no use against the robots) i will hopefully have a secondary weapon just for you,if i have the polys!
your work is improving loads recently,keep it up.

[BiG ToE-3DT]

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/DJBiGToE/016-2.jpg

[younglion]

nice work the shorter arms look much better.

[BiG ToE-3DT]

I got these cheeseburgers man, and some updates:
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/DJBiGToE/020.jpg

[ThatDon]

what's the tri count at?

[defaultalias]

hey, some idea to throw in there. this guys screaming for some longer arms. like past his knees and almost touching his feet. that way if an enemy gets to close, SMACK, sideswiped by mr. monster arms. i am really liking those dangly cables and ribs though.

[0202742]

Looking good. I think the shorter arms are an improvement. I especially like the style of the head, it looks like it could allmost pull it's head into it's torso like a tortoise, not that it would ever have need to hide it's head. I would like to see you add some huge badass headphones, or a conveniently placed sound system. Very nicely constructed mesh, good use of polygons. He looks a bit off balance to me at the moment, either that or he has toxic gas emmiters located between his buttocks and he is putting them to good use; ). so i would suggest either adding weight to the front of the model, i.e. the guns, or redistribute the weight better by repositioning the angles of the joints in the legs so that the legs are more vertically facing, or extending the feet at the back of the ankle joint. I personally would choose the last option. Keep up the good work, looking forward to the finished piece.

[BiG ToE-3DT]

ThatDon: the count is at 5986.

defaultalias: the long arms idea was one I had when I started, but as you can see from my first long arm try, it doesn't fit the model. The way the legs are positioned and the fact that the poly count is mainly used up. Also, I kinda started the unwrap. Maybe when the comp is over I'll revisit this war god, aka Domamince War 2 champion and make a few changes.

0202742: true is weight is off right now, but I'm not worried. After he is all rigged up and posed, he will be fine.

[BiG ToE-3DT]

dropped the count down to 5980. Even added a new weapon, but it doesn't feel right, so I might just toss it to the side and only worry about the Proctologist.

[BiG ToE-3DT]

starting to play with textures, which is my weakest point, so bare with me:
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/DJBiGToE/001-5.jpg

[0202742]

Voting to keep the shoulder gun. Looking mean.

[taehoon]

I love the shape and the wires stuff.. great work... keep it up with your best..~~

[BiG ToE-3DT]

started texturing the base, here's a few screengrabs:
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/DJBiGToE/006-1.jpg
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/DJBiGToE/005-1.jpg

[younglion]

nice work but the sandor rocks on the ground is a bit too intense.

[taehoon]

Great environment and props over there. If you feel that you need a great texture... visit here..www.cgtextures.com

[ThatDon]

I would lower the opacity or at least dirty up the cgchat logo, it's very bright and stands out like a sore thumb!

Other than that, this is some pretty sweet texture work!

[redonix76]

Hey man, I'm loving the look of your mech and the environment. The wires underneath is also a nice touch of detail.

After you texture him, he should look very solid. I guess they don't call you Big Toe-3DT for nothin!

[BiG ToE-3DT]

still playing with ideas, not sure what I'll go with
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g129/DJBiGToE/002-3.jpg

[momoko]

Wow. :) I love the arm texture....
Very, very nice.

[BiG ToE-3DT]

still working on it, but my computer is dieing on me or something. Wont let me save. I'll figure it out by the dealine.

Sorry, no real update

[BiG ToE-3DT]

alright, got the mesh rigged up and in the scene. Now just need to play with the lighting.

That turned out really great! you should focus on lighting now!

[BiG ToE-3DT]

nah, lighting is something I don't do. Calling this one done.

[bRuDe]

looks great Big Toe .... gratz on a job well done.

[maio]

well done, and good luck.. :)

[momoko]

Looks really great. :)
I love the texture. Different and also has good feeling of existence.

[shinja]

Well Done and congrats on finishing. :)
