Ball mech from gundam anime....

Mio

hi guys.

My first thread here!

finally got some time to finish this small vehicle.( i posted some wip image in the wywo thread)

orginal design from the japanese anime :gundam.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RB-79_Ball) it's a very interesting mobile pod.




C&C are welcome! hope u like it.:P

looks great, i havent seen the anime so cant crit accuracy buy i think if you added some gloss and a ref map to parts of the paint, i tihnk it might push it a bit further

very nice job

Josh_Singh

yeah! that's cool

i think it would look alot nicer if u added a little grunges along the edges.. just a thought but it looks freaking awesome ^^ im suprised you nailed this model with such a small picture xD

Grunge isn't that likely on this - it's purely spacebound, so no ambient dirt, and any grease or oil that slipped through the "cracks" would boil off into space, actually.

Jungsik

didnt know that..:p

I like your work.
Its a nice update to something with not much reference.

Good texture work and some very nice modeling. Looking forward to seeing more.

Snader

Not your fault but I don't like the design. Mostly because if that thing fires a round, it'll go spinning like mad. No need to change it, just something I wanted to get off my chest.

You might want to make the windows/lenses a bit nicer. Possibly even add some extra geo in there to get the effect of several layers of glass, like in a real lens.

And possibly show a way to resupply ammo/fuel.

Vailias

@snader: only if you are Assuming that it uses a reactionary weapon, and if it's primarily spacebased that is unlikely.

The model looks good. The arms look oversized compared to the pic but that isn't really a bad thing. Looks more useful this way.

haha thanks guys

to Daniel Doerksen: thanks man. yes , agree on that, currently the reflection/gloss on the body looks bored.

to Jungsik and Valandar : thanks for the reminding guys. yes as A space weapon..it's really hard for me to adding proper dirty details..+__+ have no idea what those things looks like.. u know , all most all the japanese mech have a clean look.


to Snader & Vailias : yes concept is pretty old(1970s i guess).. the canon works good in the animation..haha have no idea how they make the weapon has no reactionary... maybe some future technology @_@

One who is a part of my generation could consider this model
"Ballin"

Can we see a wireframe, please?

I think the ball in the middle and the gun could be made more appealing, but I suppose you're staying true to the original.

Cool stuff... the word "crisp" springs to mind
