Sorry about the big picture, but its difficult to see if not. This is not a tutorial BTW. Well, this is the arm of my thingy I posted here in the forum. As you can see its put together of primitives and symetrical lattices. There are also some bolean operations going on. One of the thing you got to know is how real life hydraulics work. if you dont know this, you wont get that realism as you can otherwise. You start in one end and work your way to the other end. I used the top and right and front view alot. It makes it very easy to place the primitives where it should be.

So, when you have finnished your arm then you can group and duplicate as many as you like, and place them on some body of some sort. As you can see in the rendered picture, the boleans are not that visible but it ads to the realism of the hydraulics. (Its on the end of the pistons and where the hydraulic hoses are conected to the tubes) So, this is how I make hydraulics. It may be a bit detailed, but at the time it seamed right :)

Dang...time to go update my own past models, lol.... GREAT screenshots, thanks for the inside look, so to speak. Really shows how much time and thought was put into your modeling! AS

Truly awesome. I know I would just make some tubes and stick a few hoses on them. This is above and beyond!

Clever using terrains for those hydraulic lines, although i rather use booleans for those kind of objects.

Awesome work!

RobertJ : yes, I tryed that, but I found terraines to be more "rubber and hose" like. More the way I wanted it to look like :)

Whooa! That's amazing, I guess I don't have the patience for complicated models, glad you do!

You know, I was an engineer, this all looks like it would actually work! Great pics.
