Hello!
I have been learning Blender [ http://www.blender.org/ ] for 2 years now. Three months ago I started creating the Bushwacker battlemech.
I have decided to share the results of my work with MWO community.
This is a render photoshopped onto MWO's menu.

Update (2014-11-06):
I have created greenish mwoish stock camo (not perfect , but close enough) . I also rotated the mech for more detail to come out into the light.


I'm going to make some adjustments to the model and create weapon "addons" (barrels , lasers , missiles), then I will try to animate it ( walk/run cycle with shooting some of the weapons). If I will succed I'll try to make it into a gif/video and make another update here.

Update(2014-11-22):
I have started uploading stuff to my deviant art profile. Here it is : http://shunuke.deviantart.com/
Check it out!
Here is one of the new uploads:

Coincidence?


I just did this yesterday, but with Photoshop by throwing screenshots of existing mechs together

[Ryokens leap]

Oh, oh, oh... and I'm spent. I wants.

Nice job! (both of you)

I hope you are not stealing each others show now.

[Motroid]

I hate showstealers. I will help as much as I can if he needs any help, if he doesn't, I will just post my opinion. For my stuff, I have my own thread.

I wouldn't even have posted my image here but it was just too random that he published his 3D bushwacker just today

Great job both of you

I want this mech so bad...

PGI - I am willing to pay real money for a Bushwacker....

[Shunuke]

To be honest the Iqfish's work was what *inspired* me to post my work now , however showstealing was never my goal - I didn't thought about that as an issue. For my defense (this might be the coincidence that I have finished it recently) I've spent all of my free time for the last 3 months (except playing mwo a little bit) only on making this model and texture.
My apologies if whatever harm was made by me to anyone.

Shall we call it the Crocodile...? I think PGI should do a competition... this would be the winner. B.Y.O. Mechs!! XD

Also.. Bushwacker - YES.
Would love to have a Shadow Cat too.. and a Nova cat and a...

No! Don't apologize! Everything's cool.

Your 3D model is great, it looks a lot better than what I was abled to throw together - a raven on steroids

More content of this mech just means that many people want to see it done and that it would mean serious $$$ to PGI, which would be a win-win situation.

The Bushwacker is definitely one of my favorite IS mechs, but unfortunately we're 4 years too early for it. It comes out in 3053 I'm afraid.

[LordKnightFandragon]

I like the OP Bushwacker better.

The 2nd one looks funny, but amusing.

If I'm remembering lore correctly the Bushwacker is the product of Kuritans reverse engineering a salvaged Maddog, so until Smoke Jags/ Nova Cats hit the Draconis Combine there will be no Bushwacker.

The first Bushwacker looks like it was ported straight out of MW4, it has that retro blocky look and a weird cruciform LRM pod. Also, what are you trying the hide with the smoke around the feet? Does it have a club foot? J/K, good work. This is one of my favorite IS mediums of all time, especially the variant with the LBX20.

I acctually used MW4 "blueprints" of the bushwacker to get the proportions right . I tried to make the design look like the original miniatures but gave it a little bit of "mwo'ish" details ( especially on the torsos ) . The feet are covered in smoke because of problems with making the perspective and lightening correct. I think I could make it work without the smoke but im too lazy :]

I WANT A BUSHWACKER. Also: good job!
