Description
Alright. Finally another submission. Unfortunately I took too long modelling this machine so I'll have to jump ahead to the next machine without a proper scene for this one for right now. So this is Zeta Gundam in both Waverider form and Mobile Suit form. This particular computer model is based off of the 1/100 Master Grade (version 1) of the same name, with other reference images used to model detail. My biggest regrets are that1) Transformation from one form to the other is relatively complicated. My computer didn't like doing it.
2) Polygon count is waaay to high, probably due to my impatience in wanting to finish it, but also to the fact that there are so many moving pieces.
Software: Lightwave 8.3 (modelling/ rendering), Macromedia Freehand (logos).
Gundam is (c) Banda/Sunrise/Sotsu Agency.

Great work there! Is the model really capable of transforming from one form to the other? It'd be great to see an animation of it, but judging by what you said in your description, your PC wouldn't survive it

Sure. It transforms very similarly to the master grade plastic model (with a couple of differences). But yeah, my computer was baking under the xform procedure.

Cool stuff as usual. Nice to see you pumping out a lot of UC stuff lately -- possibly to counterbalance the AU stuff you did earlier, but well done.

It sort of was to counterbalance the CE stuff I did, but now I have to leave UC for the time being.

Aww ... oh well, I'm sure you'll go back to it soon enough, right? (just a suggestion .. hehehe)

I'll be back alright. Still tons of UC to do.
