I like trying out new techniques as you may never know what tricks someone else has. I found the technique to be very efficient, even for those of us who don't use carrara/raydream. These are very quick models I have created using your technique. Very good. I have refined the steps a bit but that was just me incorporating my own techniques with yours. check it out!

who's technique is this Tephladon? those mechs look awsome. I wich i was better at spline modeling or is it totaly vertex? Love and Peace Serge

Timberwolf and Maddog, very cool!

This from based on a previous posting/tutorial by elgeneralisimo called "Quick and Dirty Mech". He has good technique, Oh... there he is! I incorporated his technique and mind for a more efficient way of modeling. It is partly spline, partly vertex. The Madcat's elbow is lathed and the barrels on the vulture are lathed as well. You can learn alot from many of the people here. The madcat cockpit and the jiant shins are spline objects and the rest are based on primitives. Only before reading elgener's posting, I would never have thought about using splines in a mechanical model.
