Competition #14 - Mordachai

Mordachai · 01-07-2008, 08:20 AM

Hi all,

I'm new here at GA and this is my first competition. I decided to do a heavy bomber/tank unity with the Hercules Moth caterpillar (Coscinocera hercules):

Still yet to decide about steampunk/sci-fi/magical style. But this mean guy will be all business. Cannons all over the place, it'll eat enemies and shit bombs.

Thanks.

Thats one awesome bug!
And it really fits into your idea.
I really like the saturated green it has, planing to keep this color?

Hello all,

I choose to go with a fantasy/organic style. The general idea is that the Hercules Catterpillar Assault Tank (patent required

) it's a nightmare in the battlefield. One that makes the other bugs gasp and say 'we're damned!' when they see him slowly approach in the horizon.

I've made a quick paintover just to put the ideas in place. Model on the way...

What do you think?

This is a great inspiration for the type of unit you're planning...and the dark tint with neon glows pays justice to the fear it should inspire....great.

One thing I have to say:

This competition it's a lot of fun packed in a lot of job

Busy Sunday, some wire renders:

The polycount reachs exactly 1000 tris (including the double polys in the mouth). I'll try some hipoly sculpt and UVMap for next move. Please, any critic and/or feedback will be really appreciated. This is my first game model and I never know if I'm doing something wrong.

Thanks all.

This is ace... probably my favorite so far. Great concept and great modelling. I'm looking forward to the high poly.

nice start man love the headcannons :P

Nice! I like this one a lot. It's too bad the poly budget is so low, or you could have guns all along the sides, too. I like how you did the gripping legs; very lowpoly, but it should take a map really well.

Mordachai · 07-07-2008, 07:50 PM

wow, thank you guys.

I really like to know you enjoy this little bugger :-).

Finish the UVs today:

Checker texture:

I never made a game texture before so I'm trying to learn on the fly. Any advice about the UV map?

Looks brilliant, one of my favourites so far.
