New rant model; WIP. inspired by +OPTIMUS'+ work.

[{7}wrath]

Crits plz.

[UniqPhoeniX]

It looks old
Give it some teeth (or use less smoothing), make the body less round and add some real joints on legs.

[frazzler]

I agree. Looks kind of frail and bendy. Add in some teeth, a sharper jaw, and put some spikes on its joints. If the joints have spikes, it will make it more menacing and it it's legs won't look like play-doh. Besides that, excellent work, +1

[Archangel]

it looks like it is made out of chocolate. and is melting.

[mooseberry]

It's also pretty good. Keep improving it!

[Ellohir]

I think it needs more sharp, arachnid-style claws. And the bendings of the legs should be improved.

Anyway, pretty good job.

[CreatureofHell]

The legs need to be larger and closer to the body and the body needs to be raised. like this: 

[+ OPTIMUS +]

nice work i really like that head! prolly the jaw must be thinner to fit into the mouth when closed (well in the case if they ever close it, what i doubt)
sharpen those curves, so it will be less chocolated :-)
i dont know how zbrush works, but maybe its more easy if you make different parts like jaw, legs, etc separated and then mixing it together.
keep it evolving!

[{7}wrath]

What do you guys think of the claw elbows? I'm thinking of using the same technique for the leg joints, but I'm not sure.

[+ OPTIMUS +]

should be more segmented!

Glamour shot / new jaw:

New back armor plates:

New claws, i scrapped the detail on the old ones:

They are meant to look like Stannums:

Full Body Pic:


Crits as always appreciated.

[mooseberry]

Starting to get there, but the legs need a lot more detail.

[{7}wrath]

Yeah, I'm saving the legs for last just cos I think they are going to be such a hassle.

[Ellohir]

Better. Keep on that way

[E-Mxp]

Needs pointy tail O:

Looks quite good.

[Ellohir]

May someone put captures of an untextured original tyrant to compare?

[{7}wrath]

Here, I found a WIP shot of the "Big Mofo" for you guys to compare. http://err-overflow.deviantart.com/art/Big-Mofo-WIP-3-2605860

[Winnie the Pooh]

It's good! To criticize, i have only to say that it is pretty bulgy for a terrible tyrant. The legs should be sharper and more clean cut. otherwise gj!

[amz181]

My only problem is that the torso looks too human like...

Apart from that it looks awesome.

Wow, texturing does a lot. Can't wait to see your final textured tyrant, must be great for wallpapers and things like that. Anyway, I think that the legs should be more like the claws ^^

[{7}wrath]

Tonight's update is on the chest and legs:

UPDATE NEW PIC

worked on the chest plates some more, sharpened the legs, and fleshed out the arm plates.
Crits appreciated.

[UniqPhoeniX]

Make the body less fat and add some spikes Good work so far tho.

[{7}wrath]

Do you think i should make the crest on the back of his head layered like the origional? or leave as is

[Repatition]

As is! the layers look dum!

[Archangel]

melted chocolate. seriously.

[{7}wrath]

I'm blocking out the forms before I add detail. My workflow is FORMS >> RETOPOLOGY >> DETAIL/COLOR >> EXPORT DETAIL TO TEXTURE

[Ellohir]

melted chocolate. seriously.

So... What is this? http://err-overflow.deviantart.com/art/Big-Mofo-WIP-3-2605860

BTW nice update. I liked the spike on the elbow, could you add it? And the arms looking a bit more down? The posing in the original model was just perfect

[{7}wrath]

A little before-and-after, just because I enjoy spamming pics so much.
BEFORE:

AFTER:

[Ellohir]

I though this spike to be more like an extension of the forearm, like the elbow joint was moved a bit foward, leaving a spike aligned with the forearm. That would look cooler to me

Anyway, I think this change has improved the model. Keep on this way ^^

[Warp Viper]

Keep in mind detail adds polys? ...Or how ever the Q3 engine renders things.
Tremulous already pushes the bounderies of Q3 as is. I prefered the beefier looking model at the top. Might just need abit of muscle definition and a skin. Could look great, keep it up.
