The Beast - angry robodog
http://www.storage.maehring.at/TEMP/The_Beast_SUBMISSION_Maehring.zip
and here is the description:
„We do not inherit
the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.“
(author unknown)
This piece consists of
four „robodogs“ representing the four main military blocks,
tangled up in an epic and ridicolous fight for global dominance.
Together they make up the beast, that is threatening mankind.
The largest robodog,
representing the US, is beeing attacked by the other three,
representing Russia, China and the EU. I wanted to make the struggle
look childish, to depict the immature character of this beast, that
evolved from humanity. Maybe immaturity itself is the beast.
Let me finish with a
quote from Albert Einstein:
„I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

progress on the angry robodog beast
will create one beast from those four. actually, three of them will make up the 100k tris beast, while one will be part of the pedestrial, lying on its back. I was working on basic texture setups, next I will pose everything together and arrange the scene for marmoset
I consider all of this blocking, so I hope I find some time for the tweaking loops
posing, trying out all sorts of variations. this is fun
“either you are part of the problem, or part of the solution. or part of the landscape.”
(quote from a movie with robert de niro, don´t remember the name)
“empires are the coldest of all beasts”
(i read this in a book written by peter scholl latour)
decided on the pose, then crunched down polycount from 170k to 100k tris - that hurts
now throwing everything into marmoset to have it ready for another painting-texturing loop
