Description
Hey guys,So recently I've been working on an eat3d tutorial teaching people how to get hard surface results similar to that of a traditional 3d package. It was just released so I figured I'd upload it.
You can find the tutorial here:
[link]
The tutorial covers a bit of the concepting, reworking, sculpting the final model, rendering with Vray, and compositing in Photoshop.
As for the design, I was very inspired by the Marine and the Firebat from Starcraft 2. I enjoyed that game a lot and loved the designs so i wanted to achieve something similar. Also I was trying to focus on maneuverability of the character it self. I wanted to create a mech that would have as little self collision as possible.
The programs I used for this were:
Zbrush - For the model and sculpting
3ds max with Vray - For rendering passes
Photoshop - For compositing
Also the DVD covers a bit of compositing to show you the basics of how to achieve a final image like this.
Anyways, please enjoy and I hope you like it!
Edit: Daily Deviation!!! Oh my god thank you so much to ^artofkerem for featuring it!!! Thanks to all those who favorited and commented on it. It means so much to me

You are correct! That was me XD. My main inspiration was the firebat and marine from sc2, but I can't actually call it that cause I don't want to get sued. So I called it firebat-inspired XD.

Wow, never stop envying the tools and play you 3D artists get to have with stuff like this and hats off to your incredible skills MikeJensen, could swear this was a concept for the armor in a video game, a damn epic one, lol.
Love how you really make the armor add to whomever would wear it than make it some bulky piece of junk with a thousand odds and ends sticking out.
Very real in too many ways to describe MikeJensen, amazing to see where you own ideas can take you from something like Starcraft, unreal art MikeJensen. *applauses and whistles*

There's several elements from the current iteration of the Starcraft II Cinematic model of the Terran marine suit.
I'm hoping this is homage and not plagarism.

Hey dude, if you read the description of the deviation it says that the piece was heavily inspired by the marine and firebat from sc2. I hope that helps you understand.

..I've been staring at it for a while now..but I still cannot believe it's not a picture of some sorts
This must be one of the best 3D-pieces I have ever seen!
You've done a wonderful job, keep up the good work!

I was looking for an armor design for my story and this one fits and doesn't look like something ripped from Warhammer 40k.
