      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 ๐Ÿ˜„

      @ Hellnbak: it doesn't stand in a garage, therefore it ain't a car ๐Ÿ˜›

                (Good) texturing is something I still have to learn, so I hope to I can produce some quality dirtmaps and other textures ๐Ÿ˜„

                @ 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 ๐Ÿ˜„

                      '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.

                          and paint the Rex pink and have flower power logos stencilled on the body ๐Ÿคฃ

                            @ Liam: you know your MGS-stuff ๐Ÿ˜„ 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 ๐Ÿ˜„ 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 ๐Ÿ˜‰
                            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: ๐Ÿ˜„
                            You never know, it could look absurdly awesome ๐Ÿ˜„

                                @ Oli: Gave it a try the other day and it's fairly easy indeed!

                                Finaly round up the fine lining and rounding corners ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
                                Spent some times applying materials in TR and come to discover that I had to properly set the UV's to use the more detailed textures.

                                So made some renders with basic/even materials

                                Still looking for the right textures and learning texture-techniquse to get them applied correctly with the help of SketchUV and Roadkill.

                                Also started working on the enviroment a bit already, starting of with an interior scene,kinda of a large military storage/resupply room. Have some nice ideas on this one ๐Ÿ˜„

                                  I noticed you are showing pivot points and sliders. Are you creating this with SU Physics or something like it?

                                  See my portfolio at https://delphiscousin.blogspot.com/

                                    Thx dude!

                                    As for the pivotpoints:
                                    I made them with the intention to make this model a dynamic one.

                                    I played with SketchyPhysics some time ago, but found it realy unstable, cause it crashed on me a lot. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or it's just real buggy.

                                    But I don't realy know if there is another program that could do the same trick. When the time arrives, I'll have to dig into that.

                                    It could take up to a year before making it dynamic, though. I started this model with the intention to learn stuff I didn't use/know yet, like (static) animation, detailed texturing/material use and, in the end, making it dynamic ๐Ÿ˜„

                                            I started mocking up a hanger last night so will have some more this weekend.

                                            Looking good
