Hi all, I am new to this forum and have been looking to enter a low poly contest in order to help me learn how to create and use normal maps. The brief seems very interesting and I have come up with a few ideas which I wish to share and get feedback on.
The main idea behind my machine is a stealth/surveillance robot that go into battle in small groups (probably about 5) in order to get intelligence and can also be used to flank/ambush our enemys as they are also quite burly and very good at hand to hand and small firearms.
The thing that makes my robot different is that in the heat and pressure of the exploding planet, the mechanics and spirit combined with the high amounts of carbon giving the machines the ability to control crystals/diamonds. They use this ability to create optic fibres which can tunnel underground to gain there intelligence and to create weapons such as swords. This would give my charachter a kind of organic look with bits of coal sticking out of the mechanics and crystals growing on his back. I'm thinking along the lines of Shadow Of The Colossus but not to much and not that big. (Wouldn't be good for stealth.)
I am unsure wether this would be aloud but I'm thinking that if I stick to 80% cybernetics then I should be alrite? rite?
Heres a quick screenshot on a very low poly model I have been working on the last hour or so, still very work in progress. Any comments welcome.
