Re made most of the mech since I was unhappy with the first model. I wanted to try and make it look closer to the concept and add more detail. Got to redo the Uv maps and textures now though.....


















Wanted to learn the sculpt tool... so decided to destroy the Mauler

Need to get back on track and texture it :/

Finished blocking out the base model. Next thing to do is to add details and clean up any messy bits.

Not bad....

impressive

Makes you wonder why it takes PGI so long to get these into the game from the initial sale date to the release date.

I have a niggling feeling the back of my head that this model of yours will look closer to the concept art (and better overall) than the official one when it comes out.

Nice work!

[Corbenik]

Then you gotta add the Hitboxes, movement,weapon models etc etc.

[Impyrium]

Interesting to see how this compares to the official model. Impressive work!

[Grendel408]

nice modeling there, Joe!

I thnk the PGI mauler looks good. Just so long as by release they dont go and give it stubbies....

Because this is just a canvas.. ..the real beauty comes next..

PGI have to take the canvas, add fine detail, apply hitboxes, weapon modules, movement and centre of gravity, test all the parts that move, add textures, qa the textures, test all the weapon modules, ensure there are no violations in the connectivity of the geometry, run movement tests to make sure it looks right etc etc.

Really want to rustle up the old post that shows how they do it, was in PC Gamer as well I think, its a really cool process..

Added some more detail and made tweaks to the scale.

I hate and love people like you. I hate I can't do this myself and I love the work you do. I may need to get one of these.

Nice Work there!

[Michal R]

Wow, super. Will you print it in 3d?

[AceNewtype0079]

if you are willing to upload the UV layout, i can texture this real nice. also have access to 3d printing...just sayin.

[0NEHALF]

very good, will look better if u chamfer edges more, always avoid sharp corners - it never happens in reality. Or You can ad extra edges (crease сontroling) and drop turbosmooth, i prefer to chamfer all metallic things for more realistic reflections and cool specular. good job any way)

Because they model all phases of destruction, movement, bones, texture of different damage levels, hardpoint locations, hardpoint visuals ... etc. So it does take somewhat longer to integrate them into the game.
