Hi All,

I'm self teaching (again) with 3d Max 8, just modeling (mainly for omiQron) and texturing so far but wanted to start doing a bit of animation, or at least rigging so i can pose models for a scene. To start simple, and as the movie is out this year (wahoo!), i thought I'd do a Transformer.
This is a model of the mid 80's toy, kindly let to me by a friend.

Any C&C appretiated

Cheers

Gahn

cheers

I think he is too flat...reminds me of gumby. Add a big ass set of pecks or something

Cheers peeps

Ghosty, agreed that the chest looks flat for a mech\transformer, unfortunatley that's the way the toy is (original 80's one), will try to post a ref pic later on.

I want to try to make a more modern mech after this one, so will put big pecks on that one

Cheers
