Like this one better than Tzar, must be how the face is more symmetrical .

Thanks Otaru.
I think you're right about his symmetry, and Sub-7 is probably more streamlined over T-zar in general. T-zar has a a lot more complex geometry with more jagged and pointy stuff..

Wow, xiom!  You've really been holding out on us!!! This guy looks great! So is this a full 3D model? |

Thanks Rex!  Yes, he is a 3D model.. still a little basic though. He (and T-Zar) will eventually get some realism when I buckle down to do his texturing. I really love this stage when it's straight up modelling and color. I enjoy the concept design more than the technical stuff, but the technical results have their payoff too, as I'm sure you know! ;D |

You have chosen a very effective color palette on this model.

You have chosen a very effective color palette on this model. Thanks. I stuck with a fairly classic robot color combo on this guy. As I'm sure you know from your own designs, colors makes a huge impression on how people perceive a robot (or anything really), but the real trick is finding colors that work well with each other. It makes me think of this other robot design that I was determined to use green as the main color. Green for me is a tough color to get it to work with other colors, and the more saturated the green the harder it is to find good compliments to it. I finally got something to work, but I had to experiment with tons of variations to get it to work. |

You are so right about color choices. I've always enjoyed the gray primer protos. They keep things neutral.

You are so right about color choices. I've always enjoyed the gray primer protos. They keep things neutral. I'm there with you. Bad colors have often ruined a figure for me. I can't tell you how many times I've seen the gray primer versions of Studio Halfeye figures and thought they were going to be a "must have" purchase for me, only to see the final color pics and completely backed out. The big one that comes to mind was the Great Mightgaine triple combiner. The color choices on this completely ruined it for me. On the other hand, an example of excellent color choice is on the blue and gray Happywell Valk knock off, which is why it sold so well. It was a great color choice and the colors were well placed. Nice sticker selection too. |

WOW!Great work!What kind of program you use?Cinema 4-d?
Always wanted to do a 3d robot myself but hardly get time to go into the matter....
keep up your good work!I really like the colors!

Thanks man! Seriously, it's nice to have 3D work appreciated because of the time involved. If you like this, you might also like my Tzar robot: robotjapan.proboards12.com/index.cgi?board=fancustom&action=display&thread=12313As for what program(s) I use. Everything you see here was done in Google Sketchup. For doing geometric modelling, and specifically robots, Sketchup is awesome. It's by far the fastest and most intuitive geometric modeller out there. After I finish the base model in Sketchup I've been importing into 3ds Max and still working on textures and some detail stuff. But check out Sketchup, it's an awesome program and it's a free download! |

Never heard from Sketchup and i defenitly going to look into this!
C4D is nice , but its to complex until i have enough freetime to work me in.Maybe Sketchup serves my purposes better!
I've seen your Tzar!It's nice too , but i dig the Sub-7 more!

I've heard great things about C4D but haven't had a chance to use it. Honestly there are a lot of things that I don't like about both Maya and 3DS. Sketchup is amazingly fast and intuitive but extremely limited and relatively new. I use it for hard geometric based modelling, but for organic I use Maya or 3DS. Sketchup is almost more of an idea presentation tool than a full blown 3d package, at least where it's at right now. Give it try, it's a lot of fun and easy to use!
