js,

I am really liking this, but why not remove the rivits from the plates and add the details another time when texturing, using bump or displacements to save you a bit of time.

I have enough time to finish because there is not much left to add and just tidying up to do really.

nice work on the detail on the abdomen, its looking very cool jsprogg. No crits at all

The Maya Toolbelt

yes it does Mike the head is actually the stoking room
the rear is where the water is stored and fed into the burner in the center.

Oooh...so you could do some inner-glow thing behind the eyes

animated flickering glow I assume ?
severinianthony you just love to make hard work..lol

Lol, I just like throwing ideas out there for many reasons.

To see what other artists think of them.

To see if the artist had the same ideas (good sign that I've learned to think like my fellow 3d modelers, if I can think the same things they've been thinking :p ).

To help push ideas forward and make them better.

I dunno...lots of reasons...but feel free to ignore my incessant ramblings; I can go on forever, for little is ever truly done

Pretty much finished the body detail

I hate to fly, REALLY HATE TO FLY! But this thing is so cool, I'd be first in line. And I like the glowing flickering eyes idea.

Don't be satisfied with what you can do but rather strive to do the things you can't do!
Exceed Expectations!

i'm really glad you like it ,I am hoping this will turn out good enough to be part of a demo reel I am hoping to make when I have enough created work.

A giant, mechanical wasp, a mech t-rex head, and a house that you built for real...

...you sure you don't have enough? :p

The amount of detail on this model simply stuns me everytime I see this thread.

I must ask, how many polys are you up to ?
