Inspired by Mechwarrior 4, I fell in love with the Vulture its bulky body and firepower was amazing. I love CG work and this was not easy task as I taught myself everything about 3ds max. I just recently started to paint the big hog. He is more in Beta than Mechwarrior Online is but I think this is good enough for some initial impressions. Cant wait for this game and I hope in the future they add missions for your friends to go roam around.

I prefer the original Vulture design, but yours is really good.

One thing, though. Could you scale the feet up a bit? Since these look too small to carry the weight of the entire mech.

I really want to say it is awesome... I REALLY DO!

I just have trouble liking the MW4 bastardization of my favourite Clan Mech

Good job though

[Xallon]

I did like the Mechwarrior 2 and 3 versions too. But this one seemed bulkier. and his feet are too small i have been focused on painting and modeling the top his feet I will put socks on for now while i figure out a bulkier sturdier design.

It looks way too much like a nose for my taste. I like the scuffed up caution texture around the ankles, though.

Here is a night shot of big nose the reindeer bad ***

Almost guaranteed after the clans come...

Very nice. I know I will spit upon by Battlemech fans, but a lot of designs, including the Mad Dog, looked better in MW4 to me. The skinny long arms of the omni just did not look right. The bulkier pod made it look like multiple weapons could believably mounted in such an arrangement.

[Necroconvict]

I personally am thinking the original design kind of rocked, and as it is listed here, is I guess what I believe was closest to the Battletech Center rendition back in the early 90's. I do make the mistake of assuming they used the original designs... assumptions being what they are.

not to cause any offence - and strictly a subjective matter of tastes - but I have to agree with the others here who note that MW4 ruined the appearance of everything we knew and loved in previous mechwarrior games. The Warhawk for example - looked like an RV with its huge bulging forehead.. even the venerable Timberwolf did not escape lightly - and the Mad Dog, though I do appreciate your CAD/CAM efforts here, was perhaps the worst of the lot in MW4. MW4 just looked too cheesy and cartoon-like for my tastes - which had come to appreciate these battlemechs through the previous MW titles as a gritty, realistic and believable cold grey walking weapons.

I loved the MW2 Clan Wolf Intro sequence of the Timberwolf and Mad Dog guarding the Wolf's lair atop the canyon - THAT Mad Dog looked legit. The cover of GBL also (obviously they used the same model and added some snow/ice) looked awesome. Pair that baby with a Timberwolf any day and let those LRMs fly!!!!

[Joe3142]

That is a good model- the textures look great! This has reminded me, I need to carry on with my model
Personally I think that the Older Vulture design is far better than the MW4, but the MW4 design is also nice

[Joseph Ward]

Sorry I wasn't trying to be critical of your work. I appreciate that these models are extremely difficult and complex to build and render on computer.. I have tried and failed with CAD before

So, very nice work!!!!!
