Looks really good, but repeating Xmarx's question, what program are you using? I'm guessing it's one of those very expensive and complex modeling software programs that experienced game designers use...

It seems a common design element for the Mad Cat. I usually dislike it. Though the later shots with the missile launchers make me optmistic that this box might work.

Nicely done so far.

Wow, amazing! Hope the MWO version looks as good as that

I was just looking at the Lego Madcat, plenty more signatures needed!

That would be 3DSMax... but I fail to see how could you find out it's "one of those expensive,..." just by looking at a rendered image.

Apart from the slight AA (which could easily be added in any decent 3D modelling renderer), there's nothing that sets it apart from a standard render you see tons of on the internet in everything from Maya, Blender, to SketchUp and tons of others.

The beast is complete and it is a beast :blink:

The model is fully articulated and if anyone wants a pose to be rendered and posted, let me know. The pic is a montage of images. Remember to zoom in to see the details
