Only feedback I can offer is that the top shape of the tower (with the open ring) suggest more of a monument or religious statue type feeling instead of a technical installation. One really good piece of reference I've found for designing the generic "big technical building" are old Soviet radar and radio facilities. Look…
@Pope & sampson.... Actually what you should do is detach that square in the wheels completely as an element and then delete the sides and re-cap it to remove all that extra geometry in there... Also a suggestion for your high res. you should scale in the tops of those rings. So when you generate your normals you get some…
but seriously, i think the neck looks a bit wierd, double check those lines and use some references. I'm sure you can come up with some nice designs for the armor, just start doodling with a light 1 pixel airbrush of a near black and use some light white and a fatter brush on a new layer to make it highlighted. Maybe look…
I wonder if this will actuall make any difference though. my wife's uncle works with the FBI travelling to other contries and trying to bust up piracy rings. they collect thousands upon thousands of games, software, movies, etc and there's always thousands more around the corner. if anything this'll probably just slow em…
I usually just duplicate belt-area faces right off of my mesh so that it already conforms to the shape and has the same number of loops. Then I add bits like the end of the belt or the holes and extrude/shell modifier it out. If it is off shape a bit then just move it back. I made a script to automatically make me a belt…

hmm, i put it through Vray, and this is what came out the other end. i think i've hit a spot of diminishing returns. from here on, its mostly tweaking. hmm. that muzzle brake desperately needs some love. same with the TCs MG ring. hmmh. Conformity is an electrical engineering trade magazine. It has information on EMC…
Ok guys give this a shot http://www.bryancavett.com/maxscripts/unbevel.ms Should show up under the category "BCTools" I'm sure there are bugs and if anyone wants to take it further then go right ahead. The sides work perfect but... You can see here how the top is still a pain. Would probably need a different algorithm for…
Ben: Odd, that's exactly what I was thinking when I first saw the hand. You're not by any chance double jointed in your thumb, are you? I can get my thumb to bend like that, but not while my ring and pinky are down. Though as you say, it could be the angle of the shot confusing me. Either way, the hands look nice and…
ahh Jouste, im very happy you liked it...! Just ask whenever you wanna do this again, id love to do another one some time. Drawing your character was a lot of fun, it made me realise how much subtilities go into your character designs. Like those fingers that hanging from a ring XD, that was awesome. Heres a shirt design I…
