Model Complete!

The spider-mine model is finished, and ready for baking onto the low-poly mesh. I've just purchased the Quixel Suite, and intend to start using it to unwrap and texture the model. I've had a few lessons come through from my hard surface modelling course, so I'll take care of that first. Best get to it!

Part 3 Finished!

Here's some more progress on the spider mine model. The mesh looks a little scruffy in some areas because it'll be baked later on. I'm debating refining some parts of the model when I've finished the whole thing, so I can put it into a scene with the Bulldozer model I've been working on. If I made a decent environment, all the models could go together quite nicely.

Progress as Promised

I managed to get a quick bit of the gas cylinder finished up tonight. I'll aim to have it refined with some detail work tomorrow. I still think I can get the whole thing finished by the weekend.

Spider-Mine Part 2

Well that's part 2 taken care of. I've got just enough time each evening to squeeze out thirty to forty five minutes of 3ds Max work before sleep deprivation ruins my concentration and I have to go to bed. I intend to start on part 3 of the spider-mine tutorial on Monday, and I want to have the whole thing finished by the end of next week. I've got other things to build!

Keeping Up the Momentum

I promised myself I'd push myself to work harder and utilise every free moment to continue working and improve my skills. Here's some progress with the spider-mine. I wish I could work on it for longer tonight, but I have to get up at 5am.

Spider-Mine Part 1

I've started constructing a spider-mine from a lovely free tutorial courtesy of Eat 3D. This is part one, of four complete. I'll be constructing this whenever I get a free moment in the evenings, If only I had 3DS Max on a PC at work!
