Member Jfredd Posted June 14, 2016 Member Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Here goes my entry for this contest! I really love 3d-coat's retopo and texturing toolset, but I haven't used the Sculpt room very much until now. With this entry, I aim to catch that room up to the others! So here's my concept silhouette for this vehicle... I imagine it would have two modes - a stationary "working" mode, and a propulsion mode - like how a real octopus functions. And a rough block out - I aim to do as much of it in 3d-coat as I can. It's so exciting to start rough on these ideas and then flesh out all of the details as things progress! Good luck to everyone! I can't wait to see all of the awesomeness that comes out of this competition! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philnolan3d Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 That's pretty cool, kind of reminds me of the "squiddies" in The Matrix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll definitely have to go back and watch it for some inspirado while I'm working on this. A steampunk version of The Matrix would be kindof awesome...

Member Jfredd Posted June 19, 2016 Author Member Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Pressing Onward... the cockpit shape of the concept felt a little bit plain, so I've given it a more organic shape that should be fun to detail... I've also included some more blocked in detail of the cockpit... the seat is set up in a gyroscopic frame so that the driver can stay upright when the vehicle switches modes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jfredd Posted June 22, 2016 Author Member Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Tonight's progress - continuing to flesh out the cockpit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jfredd Posted June 25, 2016 Author Member Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 I recreated the octopus eye today... Maybe parts of this thing are made from an actual gigantic octopus... Getting there... lots more detail to go! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jfredd Posted June 27, 2016 Author Member Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Got the dirigible underbelly fleshed out tonight as well as the main form of the syphon(s).... I also spent a little bit of time in the 3d-coat render room before calling it a night.. Another aspect of 3d-coat I've had very little experience in up to this point... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
