[ COMPLETE ] Challenge #27: War Machine

<< < (4/19) > >>

ENSONIQ5:
Just doing my normal thing... bite off more than you can chew then chew like crazy!  Actually, I did make a few concessions on the design to speed up the modelling process.  All three engines are identical from the swivelly bit backwards and all three undercarriage struts & housings are identical too.  I also designed the undercarriage 'foot' such that it forms the u/c bay door when retracted, negating the need for opening doors and subsequent hydraulics etc.  I would love to have the undercarriage fold and the engines rotate from VTOL to forward flight during the turntable but, realistically, that will add at least 5 or 6 hours work to the project so no guarantees at this stage.  More screenshots shortly.

Raxx:
Overall consensus is that an extension wouldn't hurt, and I'd like one as well :P So...

Deadline is now September 19th, 2011!!!

As for renderer, I guess whatever you need to get the job done, though using Anim8or helps balance the playing field...

Great detail so far Ensoniq5, you will certainly have to chew a heck of a lot more to get it done!

ENSONIQ5:
The modelling of the forward parts is mostly complete.  The turret cannons are loosely based on the nasty piece of work hanging under the nose of an Apache gunship.  Not a fan of war or weapons in general but they are fun to model!

Arik_the_Red:
Wellllll, despite Gyper not recognizing my good intentions... Yes, I'm working on a War Machine! I have already thrown three designs in the trash because I just didn't like them. I've settled on something, and am working away on the model.

It's not really far enough along for a WIP post, but THANK YOU RAXXX!!!!! I'll get this bubbyboo done by that deadline, fershore!

Awesome WIP, all you posters!

TheBlackHole:
Another few questions: Does the video need to be exactly ten seconds long or can it go past there? Can the video be a turntable for the ten seconds and then a demo of the weapon lasting between five and twenty seconds? Or, since my design is symmetrical except for a single cluster of buildings, does the turntable even need to last the whole ten seconds?
