  1. Oh dear if I would've known it'd be until August, my poor grasp of the English language -- (or my budding dyslexia? :I ) -- wouldn't have caused me to misread the deadline as June 10th! I might've planned my workflow a little more carefully and had fewer sleepless nights... It's too late for me now as the project now fills my RAM to the very brim, and may break in its delicate balance, but I'm extremely happy for those who may be able to finish and polish up their respective projects! The forum is saturated with great inspiration and it has been a blast lurking everyone's projects! Good luck to us all.
  2. Thank you for the heads-up, however at this point it is very difficult for me to add any more detail into the work, as opening alone it fills my measly RAM. Which caused much sadness and drawbacks whilst editing islands during the previous month. Thank you so much! Warms my heart.
  3. The "Steam-powered Rooster" is a perfect choice for when you need to steer off the paved path into challenging terrain! Its massive steam-engine delivers incredible torque through six pressurized cylinders driving all this power to feed the complex gearbox in its rear, which operates the Rooster's balance and bipedal motion. The gearbox provides inertia to five winches on each side, which act as tendons to bend each limb down to the ankles. The Rooster consumes only coal and water as fuel for its stride, which an automated system provides from its two respective repositories for each material, situated behind the cockpit. The concerning pilot doesn't even need to exit the cabin for refueling, with the pull of a lever the gearbox will spill a fraction of its stupendous power to open the hatch on top of the fuel supply, making the refueling process more convenient for everyone involved! The two counter-weights below the cockpit work with the gyro embedded in the gearbox to keep your Rooster balanced on poor footing! Speaking of footing, only a yearly check-up is required for your Rooster's impeccable spring-action claws! Don't wait until the rooster craws! Buy your Steam-Rooster today! -- A sales pitch Finally after some setbacks my Rooster is ready! I had a bit of trouble due to my inexperience, I would've liked to have made the final render with backdrops with a refueling scene perhaps but I've too much still to learn in that regard... My current PC is due for a refit, as it could barely calculate my later additions to my paultry project, though I must exclaim the smart materials really helped during the texturing, they're quite wonderfully easy to use and they made the work a breeze after I managed to work in the imported objects. The final renders completed in 3D Coat, with slight post processing for the lantern and backdrop. I would like to thank our hosts and everyone's lifting spirits, it's been a wonderful opportunity to learn more about 3D Coat and I have a lot of pointers to improve my workflow in modeling.
  4. Just a *very* quick WIP shot that one, conceptually it is a vehicle for passing through difficult terrain, it's quite big in size as the balcony you barely see in that particular picture is in fact human sized! Here's a slightly better shot of the side.
  5. I absolutely love Syberia, and this project! Keep it up!
  6. It was July, not June, huh... Back to work! Much to improve upon!
  7. More screenshots! Once done with the cockpit (heh heh) I'll need some pulleys, winches, and a pair of feet! Hopefully with enough time left for texturing.
  8. Better screenshots, and slight progress update, I love making gears. Before and now:
  9. Mechs and walkers are my favourite so as my first post, and my entry I'd like to submit a perfect mount for the considerate steampunk gentlemen/ladies! Here's the first WIP screenshot, it may not look like much yet but you may be surprised if I get it done in time!
