Very nice! You using the Freestyle brush tool in Blender, or is this a feature in a real modeling tool like 3D Max?

[Bishop Steiner]

You gonna open half of it up and show the internals?

(Either way...schweet!)

[Alaskan Nobody]

This is awesome!

Can we get more?

Edit:
Second line is supposed to be size 8 font.
Why is it not?
Win 8 point bloodyfisted 1

Yall have decent imaginations though - so we can work with that.

I'm using your importer to load a mech into Blender, then exporting it to fbx and loading into 3DS Max for cleanup. After that, it's getting rendered in 4 views by the Quicksilver renderer with the "Acrylic" effect for nice sharp edges, albeit in black. The renders are then passed to Photoshop, inverted to that the lines are white, curve adjusted so that most of it is black, then set to screen blending over a blue background so that only the white shows up. That's then passed over to Illustrator for the lines and text before final compositing in Photoshop.

I doubt it. I'd really like to, but to get the result above just requires doing a series of relatively simple steps. Since none of the MWO models naturally have internals, I'd need to model them myself, which would significantly add to the time.

Yes. I'm working on a Jenner right now.

[Sparks Murphey]

The Jenner is now up, edited into the first post for visibility.

[Sparks Murphey]

And now the Hunchback.

[Alaskan Nobody]

It is easy to forget just how weirdly shaped some of these are...

[Mech42Ace]

Yes thank you very much for this I've Beenlooking for something like this for a while!

[Sparks Murphey]

And the Catapult's up!

Next on my list are the Kit Fox, Nova, Summoner and Dire Wolf. While I work on those, if anyone's got any particular requests on what they'd like to see next, lemme hear it and I'll look into it.

[Alaskan Nobody]

Centurion!

[Odanan]

Keep doing them and I will keep downloading them (and using as wallpapers).

[BarHaid]

I'll second the Centurion. And Metal-Babby Commando, please!

[MightyBolamite]

These are fantastic! So simple yet so awesome!
Might I humbly request a Spider? I think that would look great.

[Sparks Murphey]

Kit Fox and Nova posted in the OP. I've only made widescreen versions this time, as the quality was dropping when I rescaled for the 1280 x 1024 versions and the extra time required was making me doubt if it was worth it. If anyone is particularly attached to a 1280 x 1024 desktop, let me know.

[Bishop Steiner]

Any chance of a K2 with the REAL PPC arms instead of the icky ones in game now?

I'll see what I can find in my archives.

[Sparks Murphey]

Summoner and Dire Wolf now in the OP.
