Gekko (from MGS)

AndrewR

Hi all,
I was hoping to get a few suggestions, tips, or feedback on some classwork.

I'm working on making a Gekko from Metal Gear Solid.
Here are some reference images I'm working off of:




Here's a screenshot of my current progress, working on getting everything to a high poly, and getting the legs cleaned up.


Thanks!

Look again at the bottom of the legs the metal hoof things are merged into the foot you have them just sitting below them at the moment.

Also there is a curve cut into those metal block sections where the legs join the rest of the body I would make sure and add that in will help it look a lot more natural.

Nice work so far keep it up!

I think the model looks great, I just never could take those mechs seriously though because they look so sassy with those legs.

This reminded me how great gekkos were. Keep up the good work.

Just a quick Bump, getting the normals fixed and rebaked as I have most of the lowpoly in marmoset toolbag 2, getting Spec,Gloss, and Diffuse colors in. The lowpoly is still missing a few pieces that I'm currently baking normal maps for!

Still need to get the fitting for the ball "hip" joint to the legs... haha

i think tghe legs in the concept are more bent
right now your sculpt has not the same feeling of weight
because the legs are so straight

I'd guess that his model is not posed as of now and that this is just his root pose
If that'S not the case I'd have to agree though

AndrewR

Yep, the model right now is just in root pose! Going to be giving it a nice pose real soon

Here are some more updates on materials:

Some more tweaks:

I would maybe try to give at least a bevel around where the balljoint meats the "hip." There's no transition so at the moment it looks really jarring.
