Finishing the Foot Rigs

Rigging the legs

Playing around with color

Finished Modeling, on to color/texturing

I successfully modeled the MadCat! I even went as far as inserting the pivot points on all the joints/gear so that everything moves as it should. As the title says, now I'm off to texture the Mech and do some rigging!

MacCat: day two

of course...problems arise

Well, too many problems arose with the elephant, probably due to the extremely high amount of pixels in Maya, SO I decided to do what I do best....choose another (marginally) difficult project. I'll be modeling a MadCat Mech, seen in MechWarrior games, and animate it walking, rotating, raising/lowering guns, and probably another action that's currently undecided. Just like with the horse (tutorials) and my elephant, I'm doing only one side and will mirror it to the other side. Here are some photos so far:

 

Finishing the Skeleton on legs & adding Bank controls

Tutorials & work on model

To go along with the tutorials, instead of working with the model provided I'm working with my elephant to see what I can do on it. 

Project 3

Third project is animating stuff. I haven't decided on what i will animate (probably the elephant) but i'll figure it out.
