Haaahahahahha, love it! Nice toonshader, is it Toonlight? Now is that going to be the basic shape of your model? Or is it just a joke?

100% joke!!! That was a little model I did based off a tutorial I have in a book! It said to model a robot like the one in the pictures so I did! Added some of my own touches here and there but hey! The shader is a toonshader I downloaded off of Highend 3D 1 of 3 they had! I still need to use the ones you sent to me and see what they look like... I never used them cause the colors I made for the gundams was working and looking great!! user added image

Should have some real sketches for ya'll later tonight I hope!

Hey Wicket, I was just fooling around at the time... those are nothing compared to this.. i found it off of highend 3d.

That is SUCH a good toonshader! All you do is texture the whole model, then drag this toonshader over from your shader library to the scene.. and you will see 2 phong shaders.. dont apply them, just close the window. Then you think there are no changes and yet when you render the scene.. the whole thing has been toonshaded! Its called toonlight. I had metal shaders, and other shaders added to my model and it toonshaded all of it user added image

. You should really check it out and PLZ post a toon shaded render of your wing gundam model user added image

I'll post this too actually! cleans it up a little. Also just a note on his weapon It's a dubble sided beamsaber (like Darth Maul had a dubble sided lightsaber!) Thought it would look REALLY sweet also he may have some other weapons... not sure yet though! And last but not least the colors are not what I'll definatley they are up to changes! user added image

Later Mates!

I think his weapon is a bit unusual, do you have alternative weapons in you concept Wicket?

Thx )v( I need to draw more often to keep the skills up... I getting REALLY rusty!

Undseth, I'm thinkin I might give him a big gun like my Wing Gundam has, different though. As for the dubble beam saber I'll see if I stick with it or go single. I definately want the saber weapon though user added image
