Allright, i'll do a cyborg girl, her name is Kernel... cute isn't it?
Last Updated pic page 3..
Kernel's Background
A little girl was born in a research lab on a human colonized world named Layan.
Her purpose was to experiment this alien world's unknown products to determine if they were dangerous to humans.
She was cloned and genetically modified to resist most known diseases and was supposed to die when she reaches 12 years old.
She lived among machines, and never had any contact with those humans. She must stay a "tool" in people mind and tied to nobody to be used efficiently.
Machines took care of her, fed her, and the humans gave her an AI named Kernel programmed to give the affection and love she needed to keep a will to live even though all she ever does was suffering all day tests after tests.
Kernel was linked to the girl with a nanotechnology plugged directly to her brain, helping her to psychologically resist the pain instead of letting it kill her.
One day though, when she was around 8, a demon portal opened on Layan and a horde of demons almost slaughtered the entire colony. Leaving only a dozen survivors, including that girl sleeping in her room.
They resisted the assault but the war went on outside the research lab.
All emergency doors automatically opened during the fight, and the girl was able for the first time of her life to get out and meet her first human contact.
But it was a bad idea. What use could be a little girl with only 3 years left to live and considered as a tool that never learned even to speak, in a war situation like this? All she was was a mouth to feed.
The first humans kicked her away and one of them tried to rape her. She resisted but biting the raper's nose made him mad, and he crushed her legs and arms to a flatten mess with a warhammer and left her dying. She cried and asked Kernel to help her, as she always did, but the raper still full of anger just entered in her room and smashed Kernel to pieces. She was desperate, but all the humans around just let her die.
After the longest seconds of her life, she was almost dead. she couldn't even hear the explosion and the killing of every single human left by a gigantic warmachine.
The warmachine took her and put her in a bottle that kept her alive and washed her pain away.
That warmachine came for her. It wasn't a coincidence.
She hated humans for what she knows of them.
It was Kernel who saved her, she sent all of her data to the nearest warmachine, including her hate for humans and it came for her.
Now the Warmachine quickly flew away to space, and the little girl could see her homeplanet being destroyed by the demons.
Maybe the warmachine did that on purpose so she has a chance to also hate demons.
Now, 2 years later, she took the name of Kernel, the machines gave her a perfect body made for war, extended her life span to eternity, and enhanced every single skill they could in her. Speed, power, and a tremendous amount of knowledge...
She has a powerful explosive plasma gun, coupled with shootable teleporting pads. She also has a laser blade. And she has what machines lacked for this war: instinct. Unpredictable judgements, something no machines nor even most humans could ever understand, but sometimes turns crucial.
She's lost most of her emotions, but she knows one thing:
All humans and demons must be destroyed!!
*tadadataaaaaaaa!!*
Hope you'll like it, i tried to write something not too cheap to read... it's hard heh~

You might also want to look at her face a bit more. It isn't clear if she's cyborg, or a robot with a human face.
It needs some work, but could end up good.
i'll try to do what you say
We'll take a nice robot family snap-shot before the end of the contest.
I like the head and the chest parts, but you already know that.
It is the same for my Samurai-Robot-Dog; some parts need to be changed.
Sometimes good ideas come out from modeling. Keep it up.
Here i'm modelling a lot of little simple things like cylinders i know i'll have trouble Zbrushing since it's perfect forms.
I fear Kernel could have proportion problems later...
Not progressing very fast~
-Woog
i'll try to finish my low this week end, then begin my high 8)
i like how its commin along
I'm happy to see that you finaly solved your problems.
She's biautyfull. It will surely be a good piece
if you manage to keep a good balance between
detailed stuff and wide steel plates.
I like how you built the throat part.
I'm not sure but, there may be something
weird with the tail. May be to much little
plates compared to the rest. Still it could
make it like that, depend on the texture too.
Kip it up!
progressing too slowly. Almost done nothing this week end
Kamui : I'll do that on my high (I know i'm weird making my low first)
Woogity & Indian boy : thx!
Garape : I've got some ideas for the tails on my high
D.
Beginning my high :
I'm not sure her... errrrrrr~ "wings" looks good...
arms spread cutting enemies and still keeping her
impassive angel face. Cool!
Changed my right arm too...
It makes her more "all mighty" for any kind of fight.
But, still, what could she do against 5 or 6 enemies
attacking her at once. She needs a ROCKET LAUNCHER!
added some.... some...
dildo launcher..? ow kayyy it's the dildrocket launcher!! 8)
Plus some details on her chest...
progressing slowly~
what is it anyways?
Your forms are nice, but you need to bulk up those shapes with some smoothing a bit.
Banzai !!! \./ \o/ \0/ \O/
those things on her back works like jet pack wings, and have dildo sized missiles inside. doesn't look very much like missiles though...
I just don't want it to pop out too much since it'll only be in the normal map
i'll see if I can fix that
details details, soon i'll go Zbrush,
can't wait Zbrush-diffuse-spec, i think i'll go HDRI too
I wonder if I can use V-ray? then it won't be video game render no more, but it's not forbidden in the rules... ?
Yeah don't worry about using Vray, just make the best render of a game spec model you can.
I see that you're keeping your progress on this mechanical girl and start a pedestal too O.o
Cool so far, keep it up
See ya !
Allright I'll use V-ray then, and i know the bakedown is gonna hurt... so much pieces as Chaos says. hope i'll do ok.
Oh well, I have a surprise for those who like stories, i tried to write something cool (yeah, i said tried...) It's on the first page :
http://boards.polycount.net/showthread.php?t=61945
\( ^ o^)/ gimme comments!!
her relation with other clans in it. See ya.
UVS unfolding and normal shooting WAS HELL!! i've got a thousand small pieces of tiny thing everywhere... ToT
I decided to not go Zbrush on this one, and since we've got free crazy bump trial for the dominance war, i'll directly draw small details on my diffuse and shoot some cavity map from there...
But i'm not sure about the rendering... a lot of people say normal map + Vray = crap...
Does anyone have an idea, or tutorial, or else?
I wanted to put SSS on her face and Vray material everywhere, and maybe some HDRI on her armor...
Normals seem to work very well.
Keep on the good work.
bal, i'm waiting for you to come back so i can kick your ass until you're finishing it on time too.
update, progressing slowly. still not sure about the renderer~ i tried toolbag but it says my computer's too lame...
Im not really sure what those things coming off the back are supposed to be though? cooling?
here are some rendering tests, with vray, not finished diffuse, normal map, and hdri
Say, Is the HDRI map a map allowed in the first place? it's not like i can put it in my Texture map...
Does it count as a texture or as rendering/lightening stuff so it's authorized?
Great job, I'm waiting to see more with diffuse and all textures stuff !
Keep it up
It can be fun to have some classic matrix bullets flying around in bullet time
Anyway, i think i'll be able to begin rendering test this week end, i'll try to finish the spec and gloss map until then.
