Ok fairly new to all this - and frankly blown away with the quality of work going on around here.

So here's my two cents

More to follow.............

notebookguy

could work nice cyborg idea

mattblack

Thanks - I'm trying to get the right 'feel' before I start modeling

I'm being very slow with this, but here's where I'm at right now

I like the idea, you should really push the shapes of the body, they are far too common right now.

mattblack

maybe he's better with a wheel?

nrek

I like the wheel better than the legs but I think if your going to go this route you really need to get some reference from things like motorcycles so you can figure just how an axle would really attach to the rest of the body. Having some exposed ammo belts that feed into those guns might be kinda cool as well.

Thanks - love the ammo belt idea, and I'll get onto axle research right now!

had a cannondale Lefty on my bike before, that desig is pretty cool so why dont have a look at that one, http://www.ppolnews.com/primages/Cannondale_Lefty.jpg
yeah it needs to be ALOT stronger and massive looking for your machine.. But think it will bi a bit more interesting with a none symetrical look down around the wheel.. and not to ducktales gizmo like=) even if he is fucking awsome^^.. http://cybernetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/gizmoduck.jpg

cheers

Stert - that one side axle/fork thing was exactly what I was thinking about! I never
saw the ducktales thing before, but that is hilarious

thanks man!

OK tried two different ways to attach the wheel, one sided motorcycle kind of thing and a big futuristic mudguard idea. Also two different magazine styles. Which do you guys thinks works best?

Steve Schulze

I think he'd burn through the ammo clips in a couple of seconds with those big vulcan cannons. You'll need a continuous feed of some description, the chain being the most obvious design.

The mudguard makes the design feel a bit more solid and chunky which may or may not be what you want to go for. I'm not sure about the asymetric design. It might work with a bit more development, but it looks kind of awkward as it is at the moment.

I agree Jack! Thanks for your help:)

Anybody feeling this? The ammo is stored inside the back wheel and fed down the axle arms into the guns

Unleashed

I like it, I would change one of the guns to give it some variety, maybe a rocket launcher or something else similarly heavy duty

mattblack

OK done a bit of a rethink in Alchemy. I think I might usehis other arm as
a spool of bullet belts feeding the gun.

mattblack

OK I've decided on the plasma cannons instead of the machine guns - which I thought looked a bit old fashioned on a cyborg?

mattblack

Managed to get it to a low res mesh - about to take in into zbrush. I know I'm probably going to miss the deadline - but I just want to finish it anyway - I've learnt so much during this

mattblack

Start of head in Zbrush. I know there's no way I'm going to complete on time - but It's all good experience
