Hey all, I've been working on a model for DB games, not sure how to classify it, for what I've got in mind it is too small to be called a "mech", back in the 80s I think it would have been called a "Walker". Kind of like ED209 from Robocop I guess.

Anyways, it is about 1060 polys, I'm working on the texture. I've got the rig for it figured out but am not setting anything in stone because I'd like it to work well with FPSC and am not sure what I need to do to setup joints as "heads", "arms" and the such.

I'm busy for the next couple of days so I won't be around to agree with your comments on how to improve it, but feel free to share your thoughts.

That looks simply Awesome, it looks like it would fall over in the front though. I love the design though, very rugged and realistic!

LOL, I was going to stay that it looked nice but was not very realistic. Not because of the large front (which is probably a hollow cockpit) but because there is absolutlely no way for the legs to bend. It's like trying to make a joint by welding to peices of steel directly together.

Early AM here so excuse my typing but I have just a minute.

@Major Payne: Agreed, I've been waiting for inspiration to counter balance it with adding as few polys as possible, I've got a few ideas, we'll see what works.

@zircher: The joints at the "knees" are sliding joints not rotating ones. Where the legs meet the body, those slide forward and bacwards on the main chasis while also rotating slightly, hard to explain, easier to show when I connect skeleton which I already have worked out, perhaps I'll get a demo of this tomorrow when I'm not so busy.

Thanks all, keep up the comments, the more you write the better it'll get.
