Wow, that's some cool stuff! What programs are you using to accomplish this?

3D studio Max 8

you'll be suprised that it doesn't go pow! but FOMP!

kinda a MST3K refference

hmmm, guess I missed that episode.

the movie is called laserblast.

there's bound to be somthing on youtube

that looks amazing!

thanks. The original design is not by me. I will post a pic of that when I'm done with this.

What the shit! There's a big white thing.

Why is there a white thing, are you busily constructing some kind of KKKannon? "Gore: Bringing You The Future Of Oppressing Minority, Today."

Also I am about as impressed as I was the first time, but you've obviously fixed whatever I complained about because I can't remember what it was and I don't see it anymore.

I would like to put in a request for psychedelic hippy coloration complete with "Make love not war" spraypainted on.

KKKrimany! I can always anticipate the most amusing comments from you good sir. Your completely right though. This was commissioned by the KKK to annihilate the minorities.

It also doubles over as a frontline positive representational vehicle for the grand dragon. In this mode it doubles over as a "Pope mobile" but is on an otherworldy level of granderous quality.

the only real thing I think is different about these from the last pics I showed you is these have no solid colored areas to show where the incompletion is, even though its still blatantly there. I guess I need to repair your eyes... give them to me, you can pick them up in a week or so.

Freaken crrrazy cool creation, Gore!

the concept credit needs to be given to another as I did not design it. I am only the builder, not the architect.

Really nice high-poly piece. Vaguely reminds me of the vehicle from Blaster Master. I really like the inclusion of the ladder and hatch, really helps with the scale.

yeah, the original concept art for this (which I'll post with the final design) has a little figure drawn next to it. The other day I was looking over it again and I think the ladder actually needs to be reduced in size. What I THOUGHT was the ladder originally might actually be a little series of guard rails lining the crawl space for the ladder within. This thing is absolutely massive.

I cant mentally reference anything by the name of Blaster Master.... HOWEVER, I cant get the name Master Blaster out of my mind now.

"Who rules Barter Town!?" "MASTER BLASTER! MASTER BLASTER!"

I can't hear you.

Master Blaster.

Rules.

Barter Town.

Wow, that does change the scale a bit, I'm looking forward to seeing it though.

It's an NES game that has a mild cult following.

What is that from? Seems familiar.

"Mad Max 3: Beyond Thunderdome"

Just as the avatar I have is the Lord Humongous from "Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior"

I so wish I could make Mechs and Spaceships in 3D at that quality n..n Awesomes!

heh heh, try drawing them first. Thats really the first step to understanding anything in 3d.

I can sort of make them out of primitives. My problem is working with meshes and the sort; cuts in particular never seem to come out how I want. I think it's the sort of thing that just needs practice.

Try 9th, my cousin said it has a better interpretation of vertices which improves the editing speed. :3

Gods, I miss the modelling..

Very interesting piece btw!

I've heard version 9 has good improvements to it yes, but until I graduate next quarter I'm sticking with 8 as that is what my school is still using.

Fair. :3

That is a mighty fine anus it has.

why thank you. It is the next step in chemical/biological warfare. The engineers have managed to group organic tissue and machine parts to grow their own enormous anus cannon!

though the concept is not at all new. It stems from GWAR's crappapult!

wow very kool. reminds me of those games with mechs like Front Mission and Armored Core etc.

cool

Nice! Any chance your models might be availabel for us DAZ users? Just wondering.

Never. Maybe one day on Turbosquid, but thats still a ways away. I'm surprised you asked actually considering just how much shit I give the general person here who uses models they had nothing to do with creating, and don't even mention anything about the models proper credit.

Its EXTREMELY shameful in my opinion as a digital artist.

Oh god.

I lol'd so, so hard.

I think I peed a little.

Eh, I always give credit to the originators, as well as give out my sources for content when asked.

However I am more surprised that you would jump the conclusion that I would do such a thing as not give credit where it is due. To me, giving credit is the right thing to do, and should be done ALL the time. I make it a point to list my insperations and model sources ALL the time, and if I forget, I make it a point to correct that mistake ASAP.

Now pardon me, if I was just CURIOUS, and wanted to ask a simple question. I was not expecting to be accused of something I do not like, or condone to be done period.

eh, I said in general. I believe it was YOUR fault for taking it either the wrong way, or too seriously.

... However I believe I was more shocked than anything to be asked such a question. The mere question almost stands for everything I am against as an artist.

Twas the choice of wording you used that made that seem alot more then that, hence my reaction. Also your little fanboy there wasn't helping matters.

I've come to learn more than on one occasion, GORE has insulted many other artists.

I'm not surprised he didn't even bother giving credit where its due.

True artists ALWAYS give legal or credit to the original person.

So true words have never been spoken.

Insult is only given where I see it is due. Day by day I feel polluted with the amount of uncreative ordure people draw out on paper and label it as art. I have adapted though and live with it. This does not mean I will encourage its growth. I will at every willing turn give insult to injury whether they are prepared, aware or not.

You can be a selfish punk all you want to be, but there are many artists out there who will put you down like there is no tomorrow.

Take my word for it.

I don't see why they would put me down in any way aside from a possibly brutal critique of my work which I fully encourage. No one has ever really done such a thing to me about my artwork aside from one person who just sounded like a retard who couldn't speak English and only offered one-sided biased opinions rather than objective facts. I employ nothing buy objectiveness in my critiques and artistic opinions with NO biased towards style or context. I know what makes art work better and the lot of you and many others cannot see this through your arrogance. Open yourselves up to a brutal critique and you too will be able to grow stronger and better as an artist.

certainly some nice stuff! are there any pointers you could recommend for example, are you making the edge flow on this one smooth or considering that you're going to project it down, are you not worrying about non-quad polygons?

Well I would have no need to worry about such things as the low res will be a completely seperate model from this high res.

The great thing about projection mapping is the lack of focus you can give to your high res model. Edge flow, tris, quads, illegal polygons, etc, none of them matter as long as the smooth shaded model looks kosher with no breaks of holes in it.

Since the game will have nothing to do with the high res model, all focus can be spent on the low poly and tweaking that to perfection which is relatively easy going as you have a perfectly modelled out reference to build it on top of.

there is actually a REALLY good tutorial for projection mapping on poopinmymouth.com

heheh, yeah, been there! it's pretty good! using MAX still i hope? :)

butt of corpse!
