Lego again...

Our latest class 3d assignment is a lego animation....of course being the numb nut that I am I have deleted my original lego objects so started another one. Very quickly knocked up but it works.

Having some trouble with animation but heres a still.

Weapons fire.

Did some mucking around yesterday in lightwave, this will hopefully (once tweaked) be what the gunfire from my dreadnought model's assault cannon will look like once animated.

Jerking off....

I finished building my new pc, this computer is dedicated to work....so no games to be installed on this.
Attached is the first render off the new system, a pure jerk off to see what it can do.

1.4million poly's, Backdrop radiosity with 10x AA......4 Minutes. Not ground breaking but a hell of alot faster than my old system.

FYI - This is a desktop sized image.

Some renders

I did a couple of renders for a friend of mine so I thought I would throw a few up here.
Both are still WIP the dreadnought more so than the predator.

With how long I have been dabbling with this thing I am surprised that I still enjoy the little time I spend on it, the thought had crossed my mind to maybe attempt a forge world venerable dreadnought.... I really love the dark angels with plasma cannon.... maybe when I can afford one, would need to do it justice after all.

The Predator is almost finished, only a few minor things left to fix before she is ready for a coat of paint :P

Crap character

Ok so we had to make this character in class, I changed mine slightly. Have not really had much of a chance to really get stuck into lightwave as of late because we have alot of work to do in flash. The good news is we have to build another robot albeit a simple one, so should have that up in a few days I hope.

Rhino modeling 98%

The base Rhino shell is about 98% finished as far as modeling goes, I have a few details left to model and than she is done. Im still considering the full list of add-ons that I would like to make for this model....

As to when this thing will be textured...who knows, I want to do it justice and I dont think my current skill level is up to the standard I would like to apply. So we shall see....

Rhino mesh Update

Not really an update of the rhino but more of the addon's, Ive almost completed the modeling for both the Predator and a whirlwind.
