Dude, awesome idea :-D

Watch out for the bridge on the right side - not very smooth (if it was the goal, then it doesn't look right)

yup he failed me will add some supporting edges and TS it ran out of time, but it's worth to invest some more time and make a proper night scene

[rocneasta]

working on a robotic sci-fi looking dragonfly - so far made basic shapes for the body, and holders for cargo he will carry. Head and legs still trying to figure out the basic shape

[rocneasta]

tips and ideas for the details welcomed

[rocneasta]

looks like i need to update things - it's been a while...

Keep up the good stuff Roc. However, don't forget the importance of texturing

All looks good to me, however the keg has an issue. The strap is not showing real strain. Now this could be right if it were empty and quite light. However it seems to be made of wood, and I assume the strap is leather. Even empty, a keg like that would stretch the straps straight I would imagine. This minor problem, is making the object appear fake.

Thanks for the kind and true comments, however i ran out of time on the keg in order to add realism with the strain.

Hoping i won't disappoint in the near of far future

Like Prime said, would love to see some textured work
Keep it up.

I don't agree 100% with Prime about the strap. These little kegs they tie around a St.Bernard's neck are small and light. And they use a stiff, sturdy leather strap so it may not pull the strap tight on the peg it's hanging from. The little metal clips on the keg itself could be pulled tighter though.
<--That is a heavy leather strap on a tiny keg.

i'm worried about shaders atm, since if i indulge myself in texturing it turns out to be less than what's expected to say the least

An unexpected turn of events - i stumbled upon a almost correct solution. I was convinced it had to be tight. Cheers Buzzy
