Battlemech "Mongo"

[KIIIA]

Battlemech Model "Mongo"

Mostly feared by enemy infantery because of his max. 3 funky Gatlings.Has heavy armour at his sides to be protected from enemy rocket launchers (they don`t know that the feet are much more vulnerable , cause they are kinda stupid).

I think im gonna skin this candidate the next few days...

C&C?

[OL]

his legs are really flimsy but I like the design

Well that's seems really nice, reminds me the goliath in starcraft, in a more "thin" way.

But can we have a perspective wireframe view and a version with proper smoothing groups ?

Ah, and i don't get it, why the model which seems rather lowpolymodeled has 16 sides cylinders for the shields support ?

waiting for more

Looks rad, are you going to animate it?

[Steppenwolf]

I cant see the pic

And is this a real name for a battlemech? In germany this a word that can be used to offence one. (comes from mongoloid aka down syndrome)

No, this is not a real name for an official Battlemech, cause this is not an official Battlemech. This Mech is created completely out of my imagination, without any refpics etc.

The name results from me, being not too death serious about what i have modeled together there.

But it`s not ment to offence anybody, and in general i don`t relate it with people with any kind of disease (although it seems to have it`s origin there).The word has become kind of a trendy word, used even by artists (remember "Mongo Clique" or "Marylin Mongo" ).

So`nobody needs to feel offenced.

PS: I`m from Germany too

Wow, I'd never have thought I hear the word mongo described as "trendy" I dig the model, but I'm not too keen on the feet. To me they just don't suit the style of the rest of the mech. Looking forward to seeing it skinned

Looks pretty cool KIIIA. Now render it with a skylight so we can analyze it better

[Fullauto]

Nice model, but the design looks like it'd topple over

[von*ferret]

mino how exactly does skylight work?

i've always wondered how to render models out beter.

[KoKo5oVaR]

in 3dsmax7 ferret ?

if it is, pick up a skylight in the lights menu of 3dsmax, edit it and tick "cast shadows" in the skylight parameters. You can change the "rays per sample" for the render time, and quality.

[Minos]

hmm I just add a skylight and turn on "light tracer" on rendering - advanced lighting.
