Description
More of the same. Ive been working on this model off and on again, getting it ready for animation. Fixed a ton of polygon errors, re-rigged it and ran it thru a different renderer.Related content

Wicked Work man!! Some really cool hard surface there.

This is amazing! A source of inspiration. I think the amount of work that it was unloaded.

So uh, just wondering what's your total poly/vert count on something like this?
3ds, Lightwave, Maya, or Blender?
Love the detail. Very acute and precise! PRO!

I can't even imagine the hours put into this thing! especially if it is all designed to move in proper function!

The fine level of detail in this model makes it a thing of beauty.

Amazing detail. And this really animates? It must be like pain in the a** to render it.

Amazing model! I just finished making a Warhammer 40K Dreadnought and simply cannot imagine the effort it took to create that hulk. Similar to Gunner63, I have also been teaching myself how to use 3DS Max for some time. Would it be possible for you to take a look at my models as well please? I think your expertise would help me greatly improve my modeling and perhaps after seeing this, I might rig my own

Thanks! Your 40K model is really nice in my opinion - I used to have a pretty decent 40k miniature army when I was playing the game in high school, so Ive always been a fan of anything warhammer
It looks to me like your well on your way tho - Id say it looks like you have all the skills, its just a matter of pushing how much detail you can pack into the model

Thank you for the response! I will keep what you said in mind and continue to push myself. Thanks again for the help!

That is truly amazing work. The detail is astounding. It is amazing that this is actually rigged. I have been teaching myself how to make 3d models for a while now. Do you think that you could take a look at what I have and give me some feedback? You obviously know what you are doing. Thanks.

Thank you very much for the comment. I am trying to model more and more, learning new methods and tools as I go. I learned a lot of from making the Deffkopta and I hope to learn a lot more with the many models that I plan on making. Thanks again for the help.

just out of curiosity, how long did this take? amazing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That took about 120 hours within a 2 month period to get it to the point where it is now.

holy shit rigging it? ARG too many constraints! *computer asplodes*
everysingle move you would be checking for clipping errors!

really? you use max dont you? HOW IS THIS DONE?! ive only used look at constraints and ik chains (and lots of reactor constraints but thats different)
i didnt know that you could have 'maximum movement' in constraints. im still a bit of a noob for rigging

I actually rigged this in both Lightwave and Max. In Max its done pretty much entirely with look-at constraints and simple IK chains. The movement limits are all hidden in the Hierarchy tab of the command panel. When you have a FK or IK chain selected it gives you options for min and max rotation values. IMO max isnt the easiest prog to rig in tho, but it gets the job done

yay ive worked out hot to limit rotation and position with a float limit thing and i sorta know how to do it with ik chains. thanks!
