Walker design
polycounter lvl 13
This is a design for a walker (i hate saying mech) design i've been working with. Havent spent that much time on it yet, about 3 hours all together.
Not having a computer and it being finals week has really slowed the process down. But i just got a good computer so expect updates regularly.
Tell me what you think so far. It's about my second walker design. How can i make it better? Where can i find good reference
at this point im just blocking out shapes and parts and trying to define them.

I was thinking an urban combat vehicle.
looks like an at least 2-3 man walker, with all those guns.
It reminds me of a flea. But its a pretty cool design. Looks well armored and fairly mobile.
single soldier walker?

i see it as having more than one monitor inside, the front guns covering his front, the top from above...etc.
he's only got two sets, they dont fire independantly....the front set fire simultaneously and the top one the same.
naah. its like a zentradi battle pod or a wolverine unit from Tiberian sun.

funny you should say that
that's what i was going to make it's alias.
ya knwo like warthog, scorpion from halo.
Maybe give it some lenses or cameras, and definatly refine it with some seams and bolts to help give some visual clues as to how big this is. It has an interesting overall shape just detail it out
Definitely look up some reference of mechanical joints, machinery, and armored panels to see how things should 'fit'.
But really, I like design. if I was to try to be of any help I would say maybe the feet could be more robust, and maybe more armor on legs and feet.
Juat My 2 cents.
Nice Mech... er walker!
I like the silhouettes better than the larger design.

yeah, the sillhouettes (sp? im retarded tonight) were more of a near future design.
the final design is more of a distant future.
im goign to model both though, a distand and then a near future WALKER
you could probably put a circular ocular inbetween the guns,
and call it a day.
the reason i say it seems like a multi-man walker, is because theres no single-man vehicle today in service.
theres a driver, gunner, and TC minimum.
the S-tank had a driver-gunner, and a TC, who could take over driver-gunner duties if neccesary.
TC has a hatch in the roof where he can stick his head out,
and he's the guy who keeps track of where the vehicle is in the world.
gunner is always looking through the optics and moving the turret and guns, and the driver drives the vehicle.
well, this is more engineer critique than purely artistical.
US army is nowadays trying to size down vehicles to only be crewed by 2 men, although the program is on shaky ground to say the least.

hah
I redid and rethought the whole idea. It's a walker for one person, so i kept saying that as i was making it, one person one person.
So i thought, make it look like it wouldnt be that big.
then i said, make the person sit inside of it as if they would a motorcycle.
anyways
give it to me
btw
im concepting this so i can model and probably animate it.
