Description Hello everyone. It's been a while!

Here is the progression of my new mech Jack The Ripper. Really, it's just "The Ripper" but "Jack" is it's model name. It's just one of a few versions of this mech that I will make. I drew a picture of this a couple of weeks ago. (I would share the original drawing with you but I do not have a working scanner). I started with the arms and I did not save as many steps as I would have liked. So you'll see some pretty major jumps in progression here and there. It looks about 98% like the drawing except I had to change the placement of the guns on the model. I did this model yesterday.. and I have not had time to add some more things. I still need to cut out the cockpit and put in a control center for the pilot. Hopefully I'll get to that some day soon.

Thank you!

Hmm. I'm not sure of a face count on this off hand. A lot. Around 150,000 -> 250,000 would be my guess... but I could be thinking about another one I made. I use wings3d for most modeling lightwave 9 for the rest and rendering. I also use vue 5 for some renders with landscapes and trees. All 3 work pretty good together.

my gods thats a Timberwolf(Madcat) mod, I like whats she carrying? looks like 85 tons, 2x PPCs 4x Md.Lasers, a RAC2 in the nose and some kind of MG or AMS array over the head? whats her specs? that would be a hellova ride to use.

TDBK In reply to LeopoldGarrity [2006-04-24 23:22:48 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I did base it a lot on the MC! Good eye there.. When it comes to specs. I cannot remember off hand what I was going to give it. I think it was 2 ppc's, 4 medium lasers and a mechine gun in the nose like you said. But then it starts to get messy because I was just tying to put as many weapons as possible. Soo.. 8 small lasers. Now this thing has a new heatsink design. It's not the same as usual and it is pretty good at venting heat very quick and can deep freeze weapons componets quick with a new a cryo-core that is mounted in the torso. You notice the main heat vents in the back side at the top of each shoulder area. All pure fantasy.

Sebbythefreak [2006-03-10 22:19:01 +0000 UTC]

only thing it really lack is some kind of moving ankle-protection thingy... cuz really, with all that weight and everything, a lucky (or well gunned) shot down there from even a tiny weenie gunnie would probably crash the whole thing down (heck, it could probably twist it'S ankle O_o). The feet really need some protection. Also, how does it survive recoil? (or are all of these recoiless weapons like lasers?)

Beside that... (or if it was half covered by a mech-sized bunker or in a river) that thing must be a serious world of hurt.

TDBK In reply to Sebbythefreak [2006-03-10 22:47:33 +0000 UTC]

Hey thanks man. Well I just copied the drawing that I did. Not really realistic.. and the feet are like that because I want to animate it and I'm trying to keep things simple to rotate etc..

Sebbythefreak In reply to TDBK [2006-03-11 07:13:13 +0000 UTC]

If you lock the protective plate with the IK used for the feet, it'll work perfectly fine. That thing really needs some kind of shield.

TDBK In reply to Sebbythefreak [2006-03-12 01:14:21 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I'll look into it and see if I can make some type of armor for the feet.
