Sorry for the wrong post, was trying to delete it...

Sorry wrong post

Thanks man! 

Hi all! Been a while!

Was able to start working on this thing again.  Tried a new 3D texturing software and man the difference is huge, still lots of seams that need to be fixed but I am liking the new work flow so far, bye-bye Photoshop!

Stay healthy and safe everyone!

wrong submit...

damn good stuff!

fast pack installed...

Also the arms clips together, but it's awesome nevertheless. great job!

Edit: even the games don't try to make the transformation the right way... (Because is not easy) They just had different 3D models for every mode (Fighter, Gerwalk and Battroid) and animations between them... so they just swaps models after the end of every transformation sequence for the illusion that is a seamless and perfecrt transformation.

 

thaanks, i know what you mean, rigging this sucker is no picnic, if you look at the video attached, i had to cheat a little to make it work for now, a fully viable rig for all three modes is one tough gig...

Looking great, but the cockpit armor seems to pop out of nowhere.

thanks for the heads up, will work on that.

cheers!

Dude, why not make your own thread?  Your work is nice enough.  That being said, your cockpit armor pops up out of nowhere.

yes, will keep making adjustments, good thing i still haven't mirrored this thing so everything is easily fixable...

and thanks for the idea, will make my own thread, tks for the heads up...

cheers!

done! all inner mechanicss seem to be agreeing with each other, on to texturing now....folker, ichijo. or max ?

starting working on this again.

looking awesome already!

Mr March and Rodavan, thank you for your encouragement!

Aurel Tristen, i was hoping to make a short video out of it, about 1-2 minutes long, it will be taken from one or few of my favorite scenes in the macross tv series, (working on regult and the Q-rau at the same time) so ya, i could go as high res as my machine and my skills can handle. i went ahead and got myself a toy, the 1/72valkyrie fully transformable model kit which takes away great deal of guess work in terms of the mechanics of transformation.

again, thank you for your kind words!

started working on this again after putting it off for a while, its harder than i thought, especially scaling each part so all three modes look nice and proper. but more nontheless. c&c welcome! cheers!
