Hi Guys

I've started work on converting my Mea Kasaki model into yet another Robot.
The progress so far?
Head near complete.
And several renders for your viewing pleasure.

Thanks Guys. Just in case some of you havent spoted my Mea Kasaki figure/model images, I've transparanced all the head area and transplanted the Machine version on. This is the body shape the panelling will simulate. Z

Most excellent! Love the character, and the modeling and renders are terrific!

LOL, I like that deconstructed view of her. Even in that state she could be a very cool, high tech display in a future department store. Great joints and articulation design!

ZIKEO posted Thu, 19 March 2009 at 3:12 PM

Thanks Man.

I've had a bit of a rest from the body panelling and modelled a base finger.

Hi Guys

Panelling all but complete now.
Just a few tweaks and a bit of detailling.
Then onto the general interior stuff.

You are doing beautifully.  What is your file size up to now?

ZIKEO posted Sat, 28 March 2009 at 12:34 PM

Hi there Dude, Yeah the um, Amapi file is up to 1.5M and the Carrara file for just the panelling. See post " Thu, Mar 26, 2009 2:06 pm " is 599kb.

Here is also a screen snap of the thigh conversion.

Hi Guys. I've been having a bit of a lazy time of late. But have now managed to buck up my ideas. The majority of the Skeleton and power source is now complete. Soon I'll be into Carrara good and proper for more modelling and UV mapping Etc, Etc.

Modelled in Amapi D7 and Carrara 7P.

Thanks for any input.

Hi There Guys.

Okay, I think the modelling is complete.
I've also UV mapped the panelling and some of the Mechanics I think will require more than a shader.

Here is how she stands at the moment.
I thought a blue clay render might be nice for a change.

Hi Guys. I've put a Portraint version of her up on my Gallery. This is the Thumb to look out for.
