      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?

            Just finished all the details in 'hard' lines.

            Here's the result 😎

            I personaly am very satisfied with the outcome so far, not in the last place for all the time it took πŸ’š Had some nights looking at the clock, reading 23:00, thought to draw a line or two more...next time looking at the clock....4:30 😲
            Time flies when you're having fun, ej πŸ˜„

            Took a quick rendershot with Thea, and was amazed of the renderquality at this point!
            Still spotting a lot of parts that could be improved/perfected though πŸ˜†

            Next up:
            Smoothing out all the 'hard' lines/edges amd prep it for some quality rendershots.
            After that a new technique for me to learn: texturing πŸ’­

            Please C&C me πŸ˜‰

                  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˜„

                    @ Hellnbak: it doesn't stand in a garage, therefore it ain't a car πŸ˜›

                              (Good) texturing is something I still have to learn, so I hope to I can produce some quality dirtmaps and other textures πŸ˜„

                              @ Pilou/Dacad: Amazing piece of machinery!! Just brilliant! Also loving the render, great setting!

                              I'm also thinking about a good environment for Rex, but haven't come up with anything yet... Maybe you guys have any ideas?

                                The hanger from MGS1? Or maybe an exterior of shadow moses? I like the idea below if you can realise that? I would be happy to help create the scene in a month if you can wait that long! Always wanted to to Rex in an illustration.

                                    Rex is a stealth unit built to launch 'stealth' nukes via a railgun so would never be in direct combat unless it was self defence.

                                    Sorry had to be a geek and chip in πŸ˜„

                                    'Ray' the 2nd gen has more of an assault capability, not only was it a naval unit so can travel underwater but also had a huge magazine of general purpose missiles not just nuclear. That gives it the capability to strike against ships and land targets etc.

                                      How about in a place you'd least expect such a monster like a tulip field or peaceful meadow.

                                          @ Liam: you know your MGS-stuff πŸ˜„ Have thouht of making a MG Ray one day, so maybe someday a nice MG stand off render will be reality.

                                          As for your setting proposal: I'm game! The hangar has crossed my mind and already looked up some examples of weapons storage/launching facilities.
                                          An exterior part of Shadow Moses also is a great idea, but I think Rex would look better in an enclosed envrioment...

                                          As for your offer to help me: that would be great! And I can wait a month πŸ˜„ After all, I'm not in a hurry with this project and wan't to make it a masterpiece. What better then to collaborate with a master πŸ˜‰
                                          Just let me know when you're up for it.

                                          @ Solo: Never thought of that, but the huge contrast between object and enviroment in your proposal could work out epic! I will keep it in mind, maybe it would be a good starting point for me to learn instancing in TheaRender. Thx for your input!

                                          @ iichiversii: πŸ˜„
                                          You never know, it could look absurdly awesome πŸ˜„
