WIP - Robot Hangar
Hey guys! Hope you had a great Easter!
Concept is done by the
amazing concept artist, Carlos NCT Torres, who I brainstormed together with.
Carlos and I decided to go for a bad ass robot with a small environment. 
As I am going into the deep with hard surface modeling, I am doing a lot of research into references and hard surface workflow.
A small moodboard of
the references gathered. ( I usually pinterest for 10-30 min for my breakfast
to get the creative juices flowing) 
Currently im getting
out of the detailed blockout stage and working on the high poly of the robot. 
The robot will have
mechanical interior as I want to be able to show off that the robot is human
made, rather than being the next in a dozen sci fi alien robots. 
I hope this explains what I mean haha.
I have spent a few days fleshing out the environment. The basic idea for the environment is a hangar underground. I decided on this idea as it will create a nice mix of materials, the rough rock against the clean sci-fi.

aaannd, here is my blockout of the environment.
Still a ton left to do but progressing everyday. Let me know what you guys think!
Feedback is very much appreciated!

Very happy with the progress so far.
@ macoll Thanks for the compliments and sub.
If you guys have any feedback it is very appreciated!
I have also been working hard this week to get the hips done and wanted to share my progress.
White parts are still blockout. I included them so you can see how the connection will be.

been working on blockin the upper section and as well just concepting the panelling on the plates. Not too happy with it but thats why its concepting right?
Been working on some more inside pieces. Have finally figured out the inner top piece. It is basically a big mesh with smooth cuts. holding everything in place.
Not the prettiest solution in my opinion but it works.
Whats up next is finishing the rest of the remaining outer blockouts this week, 4 remaining pieces left. Hope to get them done by the end of next update. Stay tuned for more!
On the contrary. I have been crunching a lot since the last time I posted to get the high poly done. Which I finished this week and already made a start on the low poly.
I would gladly show off my renders, I'm very happy how the high poly turned out.
I do have one question.
I'm already thinking ahead about the UV's and I am wondering, as this thing is super large. what would be a good texel to use? I am already planning of splitting up a lot. I.E the legs, hips, engine, front plates and top will get their own map. Or would there be a better approach?
As always, stay tuned for more!
Once i'll have my robot done for my graduation ill revisit the scene and update this post accordingly.
Ill post some more images of my Unreal scene very soon. Currently working on my lighting and some post processing as my final deadline is next week Monday I hope to get something decent before the weekend and ill post it here for journal and feedback purposes.
Here is the final result. Thanks for everything guys!!
After my graduation I will be continuing the environment and hopefully a short cinematic like video.
Here's the video showing off the robot!
