Sorry poison. It's the best I can do ;_;

Thanks MZ. I can probably tweak it around to get what I want, so thanks a lot

You wish you could eat it!

Post wires or gtfo

Snails pace because I have a fever and it hurts to look at the monitor without my eyes tearing up. Feels bad man.

I've started the conceptual revision of the XB-42 as seen in Armageddon Onslaught.




This is the new wing design currently. It's likely to change quite a lot. It's intended to have animated mechanized elements. The massive mechanized gizmos that house the blades will have weapons mounted on them.

Both wings on for example purposes, still extremely early in.

Grenade WIP.



SA-80 Assault Rifle WIP.

current wip

And my current wip

now you vote and me and mesk duel to the DEAHTZ0R

Nearly game-ready.

wer u go??

If it weren't for the fact that It takes me forever to load a video I'd still be doing this everyday. The latest thing I have is an incomplete tutorial building but I only followed that tutorial to learn how to use mirror and array modifiers better. Now I want to learn how to texture but I'm getting lazy in waiting for vids. Shit sucks ;_;

What version of blender do you have?

When I search for a tutorial, I usually go for text tutorials. Here are a few:

• http://foreverblender.blogspot.com/ (blender 2.5) (For all the basics: http://foreverblender.blogspot.com/search/label/Basics )
  
• http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro (Most is for blender 2.4x)
  

http://www.blendswap.com/ is a pretty good model database in case you want to add some already modeled objects to your scenes. You may also learn from other's work.

Just a WIP clay render of a few assets I've been working on.

mfw when I just learned 2 different modifiers and something in the physics panel in under 10 minutes from skimming through his sweet box image tutorial things from the blog. Sadly he doesn't have any tutorials on textures.

@ Cardinal: For some reason that lighting looks... like... good. Not that it should be weird or anything but... somethings different. You aren't using some default set up right? Post wires and show your lamps or w/e you used. I want to see.

It's just a very basic clay-render technique with an omnilight? Not sure how Blender works for emulating something like that but in max here is what you do.

1. Create 1 standard skylight anywhere. Set the magnitude to 0.75 to 1.0 (depending on step 2)
2. Create 1 omni light above your model. Set magnitude to 0.5 to 0.75 (depending on step 1)
3. Then for the shadows, you need a very big plane DIRECTLY beneath your models (in my case it's a 50,000x50,000 plane just beneath the table object). Units are in metric centimeters.
3. Then you just use the advanced lighting plugin - Light Tracer


Edit:
Two other things I just remembered which make this different from the bare-basic clay render:

I used Far Attenuation settings on my omni-light. It basically determines the strength of the light and makes it get gradually weaker when the light it creates hits objects further and further away. Makes the usually pretty useless omnilight, quite powerful and realistic

In the Adaptive Undersampling tab, I increased the subdivision contrast (since my models are relatively high poly) and also put the initial spacing lower.



Here's an edged-faces view with the lights also.

I'm using something like that except with some extras and raytracing on both lights and no plane.

Just an update, played around with reactor physics and added a lot of rounds

I am currently contemplating what to do with those side pods I hacked together when I made this in early 2010. Perhaps strike them with a gratuitously large penis.
