Description old biomechanical mecha thing I rendered. I lost the source file a loooong time ago and didn't ever really finish it. it only looks good because of the texture, which I did in paintshop pro. I modeled and rendered it in raydream studio 5.

the design was somewhat inspired by episode 1's destroyer droids. not the idea or anything, just the design.

Good use of inspiration, it really looks nothing like the destroyer droids of starwars, and has its own feel. I like him, and he looks like a little mobile spy droid or something that I would use in total annihilation!

Good work!

The texture and lighting rules, but it looks like the back leg has gone into the ground a bit.

Nice one. Slight critic though is I think the bump map could be raised. The textures are great... but just seem a bit flat.

hey thanks for the comment. I used raydream studio 5.5, which, isn't available anymore and isn't that great a program anyway, but that's what I used. I use 3d studio max these days.

kernelb0i In reply to llad [2003-12-13 11:31:03 +0000 UTC]

cinema 4d is probably the most like it... but really there's no advantage to raydream.. in fact I pretty much despise it these days. heh.
and no problem on the reply, I try to make it a point to do so if I have the time.

there's no scale, and i can't quite decide if i like him as a tiny assassin or a gargantuan truck sized mech. either way, its got a great design. sort of reminds me of those black octopus bus from the dark crystal.

you are right . model is quite simple. It is all about the texture, which looks great. You could improve lighting and shading and of course details. But al togheter looks great. Like from Fallout game. + fav
