          Wow, I just figured out how much 500 euros is!! For that price I hope it's at least made of metal. It would definitely be cool to have one tho. Wonder if you could add servos and whatnot and have it mow the lawn or something.

          Your model is looking good πŸ‘

            Maybe you should model this so you can have each section 3D printed sh00ks, its looking good from what i see πŸ‘ πŸ‘

              It is gonna be quite a project indeed πŸ˜„
              Hoped to get it done without using Artisan. Not beacause not liking Artisan/SS (loving it!) but because the models exists of alot of fases and vertexes if modeled in full detail, it will turn out very complex all together.
              In this I hoped 'Round corners' would help me out if I kept it al in quads.

              Yesteday thought it all through and realised SS-ing couldn't be avoided if I want it to render real nice.
              'Just' have to think of some solutions and explore new techniques that are out there.

              True, and it's not even that bad of a model the man build!
              But I'm confinced I can do better πŸ˜†

              Do a good job on this and you can have your own one printed - although probably more than Β£500!!
              If all else fails, I'll just buy the figurine for a mere €500,- 😲

                  If it could mow the lawn, do the dishes, etc. I would pay way more then those 500 πŸ˜„

                  I was thinking about that too, but don't know anything about it's possibilities and prices/quality.
                  Also don't know how I have to model exactly to get a good result/product.

                  But it sure is an intersting follow up of a good sketch πŸ˜„

                    Progress

                    After making the head in full detail, to confince myself I can do this, I started to make the whole model in rough shapes that represent the outlining of the model.

                    This way I could get a good grip on the sizes and shapes of all the parts, cause that is some tough cooky when you have limited pictures of limited angles...

                    Also discoverd loads of movable parts and joints and realised that the shapes of adjoining parts is critical to prevent overlapping parts when moving the parts.
                    Since the goal is to make it a full detailed model, the parts have to be able to move like their supposed to.

                    So it took me a sweet amount of hours to get it right, but I think I got it.

                      This is great, it was only last wk I found myself with the rerelease box set for metal gear solid in hand, taught of this post as the mech is proberly the best ever created for gaming, only shame is you never get to take control, I see from the bottom image you have it rigged, even better, would like to see an animation of the finished product with key frame animation of even SP where controllers are added so finally we get control of this beast, well done, keep it up πŸ‘

                        I hope I can make it 'dynamic', cause I know nothing about these techniques and how to do it.
                        When that time arrives, I'll have to dive into it πŸ˜„

                        Btw: You CAN control Metal Gear Rex in MGS4: Guns of the Patriot, Act 3 πŸ˜‰ Realy cool to see how it all moves and work!

                          That I didn't know, unfortunately I don't have a ps3 and my understanding is it was only a ps3 game, would I be right in saying it was never released for Xbox or pc?

                                    Love the complexity and amount of detail in this thing. Now if it just had racing stripes and high-speed hubcaps! πŸ˜†

                                      Thx alot you guys!!

                                      @ Liam: there isn't a lot more detail to give as in parts, cause it's an exact copy of the modeling I'm working from. There are some parts which I tend to enhance in detail though.
                                      As for the detail in soft lines/smooth faces, there is still a lot to be done πŸ˜„

                                        @ Liam: there isn't a lot more detail to give as in parts, cause it's an exact copy of the modeling I'm working from. There are some parts which I tend to enhance in detail though.
                                        As for the detail in soft lines/smooth faces, there is still a lot to be done πŸ˜„
