Hi guys,

Would a pill bug be a valid subject for this competition? I plan to use it in a combat engineer role like minelaying or mine detection..

Yup, that's allowed. Looks like an interesting theme. There's only 1 week left, hope you can still get it done in time

damn, haha, when i was starting this comp i was trying to find this bug, the only thing i have ever heard it called is a potato bug (??) and thus could not find any reference pictures for it. time is tight but this bug has lots of potential for awesome

Here's the WIP of my little pill bug so far, just over 800 tris at the moment, C&Cs are most welcome.

Question: Do i need to model the entire bug as one mesh? Its in separate pieces right now (legs, antennae, body).

you need to map it all in one map so, yea, it needs to be one mesh. just unwrap each part individually and move it off the 1,1 space and then attach, attach, attach and fit everything nicely together on your UV space.

pill bugs are not terrifying!! when i was little they were my favorite because you could let them crawl all over you and they just cruised. they dont bite, dont carry disease, dont infest, and dont destroy building material. but dont put them in your mouth.

Completed the mine detector, this device extends or retracts depending on role.

For mine laying duties - the mines get pooped out from a rear vent
