I think when I build things from now on I'll have to start saving off seperate components so I can build up my open assets library. 6 hrs sounds a pretty good time limit to mock up a descent model.

And then working in the detail, if I have assets from other models I will "kit bash" them in for speed but in this case it was all built from scratch in about 6 hours ish.<br />all the leg elements, pistons, guns are components so I can pivot them, move them around and pose the whole beast into a cool composition Matthew Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08779984880120024544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623914917150277831.post-88093071481484247682013-04-15T04:40:16.696-07:002013-04-15T04:40:16.696-07:00another nice piece.

I must ask; when you use sketch up, are you building these models from scratch all the way up or do you work up a basic model with all the proportions and then have a 3d library for the more intricate pipes/rigging details etc?<br /><br />hope that question makes sense...<br />MarkMark Button Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18079570490784047069noreply@blogger.com
