Kicked off my New Year's weekend with some modeling. A simple power pack, and the beginnings of a starter chassis variant. Here's to 2023~ #b3d #blender3d #robotart #robot #WIP
And how it all progressed, as much as I like weird cones, I couldn't get it to mesh with the basic body shape. So I re-established the "head", ending up finding a theme to work off of for the other body parts.
I -think- I can work with this, though this feels really far from what I originally envisioned (and should've sketched). I blame thoughts sliding onto the Hercules from Patlabor, specially with how the mono-eye is framed on the chassis. #b3d #blender3d #robotart #robot #WIP
That was a journey, I think the legs did it for me. Slammed together the assault rifle mesh today, wanted to capture something that felt like a generic assault rifle. Standard infantry chassis used in a LA-RTS. #b3d #blender3d #robotart #robot #WIP
Buncha stuff I've started and or resumed while I've been pushing game development. It's been sporadically busy this month. #b3d #blender3d #robotart #robot #WIP
Whew, this stalled when work spiked, finally got the mesh and deform bones done. #b3d #blender3d #robotart #robot #WIP
Progress of a bot design in a little under two weeks. Started with me really wanting to model out a common head shape I've seen, then found myself modeling out a body around it. #b3d #blender3d #robotart #robot #WIP
Getting sidetracked from large ship interiors with this chassis... I generally don't have any rough sketches of a concept in mind, so I end up winging most of it, while keeping to themes and the concept. #b3d #blender3d #robotart #robot #WIP
Cargo freighter design is coming together! Started on another robot design too. Amusingly enough, I'm realizing that the new design reminds me of the droids from Star Wars: "The Essential Guide to Droids" book. #b3d #blender3d #robotart #robot #WIP
Pose test! The bot looks thinner in a dynamic pose. Split between returning to work on the bigger guy or looking at equipment designs #b3d #blender3d #robotart #robot #WIP
