Scare Face A1 Phase6: Legs

After a week lacking on updates, I finaly managed to bring something up. Last week, I was overloaded with work beyond my expectations, so didn't do much. I could work on this because today is holiday in Portugal. But the unusually cold weather of this last couple of days where I live, steals any interest in me of doing anything except being in bed.

F-16C phase1


This time I'll repair a old model. It was done for diferent porposes so I need to modify it to fill my actual needs. I removed all the parts of the E version and the actual model have about 2500 triangles, it's perfect for a low detail. But lacks some important details and some areas are not quite right. After the corrections, I'll work on the medium detail version.

Scare Face A1 Phase4

I wonder if should start repairing the old aircraft models or start a new, of maybe texturing the t-50 pak-fa.(the last option would be the best thing to do, but as always, I lacking of free time. So I generaly chose a option with more faster results) So as a break, the Scare face will continue being developed.

T-50 Pak-Fa A Phase7 Completed

As I hoped, I finished it today. And I was pleasent surprise to notice that the finish model has 4500 triangles, almost half of my dead line. So I have pleny of poligons to spare to improve de detail. But I'll use this version as a "medium detail" in the LOD.
Also I made a version with the su-47 canards

Scare Face A1 Phase3

This week I've been extremly busy, so unfortunatly couldn't more on the models. As you can see the step betwen this phase and the last one hasn't been much.
Though I've have very litle time today I still hope in finishing the t-50 this day.

T-50 Pak-Fa A Phase6

The cut in the fuselage is done and it looks beter than I expected. The cockpit is partialy done (for the outside view), also I started to saperate some of the the flaps from the main fuselage. But it's hard to notice looking at the picture.

T-50 Pak-Fa A Phase5

The model still lacks on the cockpit. Unfortunately I can't escape from it any longer...

T-50 Pak-Fa A Phase4

I polished the fuselage, it had some imperfections. Maybe it wasn't noticible unless on close range, but did it none the less. A carefully buid geometry can save me a lot of polys.
In case of the finished model has a lot less than my goal, I'll and extra detail afterwards. I prefer that way insted of removing detail to be under the dead line.
About the model: the wings still don't have the rear flaps and airlerons.

Scare Face A1 Phase2

Continuing on building the main frame...

T-50 Pak-Fa A Phase3

The fuselage is mostly completed now, some areas still need some care. But everything is going well, after this is and the canopy cut (the thing that I hate the most in the aircraft modeling), the rest will be much easier.

Scare Face A1

Another steel battalion mech.
I'm hoping in modeling every vertical tank, I always had an inerest in this type of mechs.
The decider vulcanic still needs an update, but I'll leave that for later.

for now...

T-50 Pak-Fa A Phase2

Now it's starting to take shape...
I using the su-47 model and modifying where it needs, now that I'm working on it, I'm aware how diferent is this Pak-Fa with su-47. The nose and intakes are completly diferent, also I has hoping to salvage more of the su-47, but it doesn't matter. I'll continue my study of the similarities of this pak-fa with the 47.

About the model: the canopy is really not fit yet, this is a procedure that I dislike a lot, maybe my metods are not the right ones. But I will try the best way for the best visual results and not being poly expensive.

Armoured Suit Phase18: Complete

Finaly it's completed. I had a lot of fun doing this one.
Now that the modeling is completed, I'll try to find time to give color to this baby.
until then i'll wander to the other models.
Now I see that I forgot some details, but is only small ones so I'll consider it finished.

T-50 Pak-Fa

T-50 is a ongoing progect for the Russian air force, is expected that the maiden flight will be on 2009. Is a fifth-generation fighter and was designed to compete with the F-22Raptor.
Until his appearance is reveled a lot of expeculation of it is on the web. With a little research a found varios blueprints of waht will be the possible aperance, some based on su-47, MiG-29 and even on F-22.
So there was a lot to chose from, but this one caught my attention from the very start.
In the future, I expect to do the other versions, until it's anouced.
Also, every aircraft I do here is to be used for game content, so it has a 6000 triangles limit.
The other past aircrafts where under the 4000, but they where modeled in a hurry, therefore they need to be clened and upgraded.

Now it's not a case of lazyness, now I'm a bit busy, but still I found time to work a little.
I expect to have more free in the next days.
Also I'm having some trouble with the porpotions, my reference is leading me to some confusions. but I'll try to find a way.

Armoured Suit Phase16: Hands

This is a close shot of the hand. the concept art is not very explicit so I chose to make a five finger hand with two pseudo-thumbs.
About the name, I shall rename is as: GUS - Cyclops A1.
GUS stands for Ground Urban Sentry, A1 is just because it's the first one of his kind that I make. I case I make variations of the same model...

Futuristic AttackChoper stage 5: interior

Still it isn't detailed as I wanted but slowly is coming close. On the exterior I'm doing some cleaning and some improvments but the're minor.

Gunboy-Wilbur Completed

It really took more time than I expected, but no big deal. in the end I changed some porportions, but still, I'm not yet satisfied. In this last step I worked ont the moveble joints, it's not completely rigged and I need to color him. But for now it's done.

Armoured Suit Phase15: Arms5

It may look that is near completed, but that is a bit far fom reality. After the fingers will come rearrege and model small details. In a way, yes it is in the final steps, but, some times I spend (or waste) more time on little details and gimmics that the overall model.


Also, I thinking of giving him a real name "Armoured Suit", is kinda lame. And the I hoping in modeling several concept robots, so its better giving them a unique name.
Therefore I'll be thinking a name for it.

Gunboy-Wilbur phase:3

This one is taking more time than I expected. But no worries, now what's left is some visible parts and joints of the inner frame.

Monday, September 22, 2008

Armoured Suit Phase14: Arms4

The model is on his last steps. I'm enjoing a lot doing it, specialy adding the details. Later I'll also work on the skins, at least on the armor.
And I almost forgot, back need at kest some detail. I'm not sure what to do there. Surfing on the web will inspire me, hopefully...

Strike Freedom Phase3

I didn't do much on it, just removed de dust that was piling up. I need to work on it more offen.

Decider Volcanic... roughly....

I done this a long time ago, it's a steel battalion's vertical tank. About the model, the porportions are very diferent. For it's done, some time later I'll rework on the model.

Almost no update at all!

No much it was done today... but oh well...

Coffee Break: Gunboy-Wilbur

I never knew about this one, but this mech is from the gundam universe, but a spinoff, also the mechanical designer is the same of the Steell Battalion.
Also this is the only pic I found on the web of the wilbur, and because of that some things will diverge from the original.

Sunday, September 14, 2008

Armoured Suit Phase10: Legs Completed

For now the legs are done, maybe... maybe i'll add some more detail later. The arms are the next step. The back shot reminds me that I still need to work on it.... some other day...

Monday, September 8, 2008

Armoured Suit Phase9: Legs 5

Still working on the legs, but now they are almost completed. Finally... phew I was geting tired on working on them. Maybe tomorow I'll start the arms, or maybe I'll try to get the choper done.

Working on the rest of the leg and the inner frame. Later I'll do the foots and the legs are completed

Thursday, September 4, 2008

Armoured Suit Phase7: Legs 3

The detail on the back of the legs, but it has some bugs to fix.

Futuristic AttackChoper stage 3: cockpit

I've been working in the cockpit. It's hard to see at this time, but it's still incomplete.
when it's done I'll take a shot inside. I've tried diferent arrangements for the interior, one to four crew. And my final choice was a a pilot in front and in is back is the weapon systems officer or the navigator.
Also I worked in some smal details outside.

Tuesday, September 2, 2008

Armoured Suit Phase6: Legs 2

Now I think the legs are going fine. I added some extra detail on the inner frame. It's hard to see, but I didn't spend too much time on it. bump map is still missing.
