Brianw76 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 You are my hero! I want to make some macross stuff so bad but I have too many medieval weapon models to make for my 3DS Max class.

AncientAngel Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Dam fine work! Working on learning Modo, soon once the book finally arrives in the mail. Keep up the good work, that model is coming along nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodavan Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) AncientAngel - yes , more guys doing models for Macross . Redoing tracks , a friend commented that it is too plain and that I shouldl like Catepillar tracks , so Iam busy redoing them ..... going to be a while Edited February 18, 2009 by Rodavan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodavan Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Updated tracks - more grip on previously flat panel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodavan Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 The crawler design is very good , but I don't like the idea of a ladeer sticking out and over the track , so I am have been playing with alternatives , here is one , I also got a friend to do quick poser dudes so I can check scale ..... Let me know what you think , the covering on the walkway was just to see what it would look like still working on that one ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestat Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I'm not sure about it. The modifications look pretty good, but from a practical point of view, are not as protective against the explosive forces of the rocket. Also, that thing must weigh a lot!

Rodavan Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 Lestat - Yes I agree , the new version will hopfully improve that So I was "Playing" with ideas on Saterday night , this is just a one of of them .... let me know what you think . I was also playing with idea that the crane/lift must be abel to "move" and not just lift in one direction , I have already had a better idea but that to wait until I have some time ..... Still wonderding why such and very heavy vechile ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestat Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I think that's a better solution. Why so heavy? I'd be worried that it's not heavy enough! A rocket of that size pushes with tremendous force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodavan Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 Thanks Lestat--Just a quick update , I rounded all the corners on crawler , and also re-designed "crane" , not sure it's a good fit ... Let me know what you guys think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big F Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 With your excellent work its a shame that nobody is willing to produce a game for this kind of model to exist in certainly this gen consoles and P.C's could handle it. It would be pure eye candy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodavan Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Thanks - big F Next update hopefuly I can finish the detail on booster ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodavan Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 Been sometime since an update , but I will starting to model again this weekend....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Beautiful work, not into the crane all that much. Something like a clamping device that secures it to the ground would be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodavan Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) So it's been a while .... I like the Macross orange schemes , so I added a bit of dirt . A few textures and materials and off we go ... maybe too dirty , but i like that look let me know what you think ...Valk will be in same colour scheme , just first draft for colour , lots to add Edited January 15, 2010 by Rodavan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillyche Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I like it! But, boy have you been gone for a while! I can't tell if it's just the samples from the ambient occlusion or actual dirt, but it does look a bit grainy. But I do like the scheme.
