very nice modelling,
what did you use as reference material for the chassis etc?

Tom

google was mey best friend tom hehe. the problem came when i was trying to do the suspension since most of the samurais out there have had the leaf spring replaced for off-roading. plus another huge reference is that a friend of mine has two of them all dismantled in his back yard so i went over and took many mental images of it. if i have the time and if enough people are interested i will put together a quick low poly version of my chassis ans suspension system fully rigged which i will offer for a limited time for free before i start selling it on turbosquid hehehe

yeah, looks cool. i like the mustache on the crab
good luck with it! i hope to be working on some similar projects in the future. creating stories was my reason for getting into 3d. every now and then i make some progress in that direction.
wish you all the best with it. and hope you have loads fun! (and get enough sleep and rest)


that jeep model would be sweeet!

looks awesome!
the graphics on the car look great. did you do them as well? nice!
the model would be sweet. big up to open source..
it's done already, right? or you want to do a low-res model? (?)
like dangling a piece of candy in front of a kid, then taking it away
thanks for the tutorials.

that surfboard sO makes me want to create 3d waves, and a surfer riding the tube.
i look forward to seeing the updates. inspirational...

hey posterus never did see your post there. must have been when i was inactive from the forum for a while. just wanted to share this with you guys. I had not done any work on this project in ages since i needed to pay bills
took a while to get the rigging setup how i wanted it. the arms are even setup with IK and Fk with a blend factor between them they eyes also have a simular kinda blend controler

Thats pretty damn cool dude.

Only thing I would add is some bob in the first part of his walked.. seems way to straight and flat, say compared to the jump which seems fairly fluid.

Really cool, great character
