Rhino

Did some modeling today. This a semi tractor from the near future. I used MODO 701. These are unmodified renders, no post in Photoshop was done. I just slapped some colors and textures on it for the render.


There are no detail yet. I need to add: door handles, lights, air tank petcocks, gas tank detail, engine access panels and vents, maybe a few antennas. ....not to mention,.. the interior.


I might tweak the cab some. The more I look at that "V cut" in the front windshield, the less I like it.

Little update,... Just a few more mech related items to add:

Mechs in Snow,... Modo & Photoshop CS5

I'm loving my Large Wacom Tablet! It makes drawing in Photoshop a breeze.

For my general drawing and concept design I've been using SketchBook Pro. It's powerful and only cost $60 bucks. Check out the Free Trial.



I've also been working on some more realistic mech parts. My goal is to eventually rig and animate some mechs, but rigging this many moving parts is currently beyond my skills. In the meantime, I'm tweaking the models in order to make the physically work.

I kind of fell back on my knowledge of helicopter powertrain systems in order to add to the realism of the rigs. I'm going to have to adjust the lenth of the hydraulics and possibly the size and location of the mounts to allow for full range of motion,... 




More to follow,...

more Mining Bot

A bit of PS post,... just something quick.


I really need to refine this model. There are a ton of inaccurate technical details that are making my OCD act up! ;)
