Member Aardbeg Posted July 10, 2016 Member Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) I first saw this competition soon after it started, and I messed around with an idea for it, but my skills were not up to the job, so I forget about it and went to another 3D Coat project. Then 3 days ago I started work on a jumping spider idea which i'd got from photographing such a cute spider in my garden, and today I saw this competition was still running - SO i've pucked up the courage to enter.

Member Aardbeg Posted July 10, 2016 Author Member Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 My steampunk jumper was quite advanced but here are some shots of body parts.The Abdomen and Head I shaped mainly with cut-offs from ovoid primitives. The great thing about the jumping spider is those large very reflective eyes. This shader I made in the scuplt room, is a rough approximation of what the main eyes will be like.

Member Aardbeg Posted July 10, 2016 Author Member Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 So This is where I was up to when I entered to competition - Still in Voxel Sculpt room, basic textures and all the body parts present with some pipe and grid detailing. I had already named the spider Jumper S56921 - (Part of a fleet of spider jumpers, of course!). Now I need to add a "cockpit"for a driver / controller to make this fellow into a vehicle. And then add more interesting steampunk aspects and proper texturing etc... I still have to master the use of layers and reducing resolution of the bits so the available memory does not run out, and getting things onto the paint room - -- so plenty of learning still for me to be able to improve and complete this project. The competition is a great challenge to spur our development - Thanks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
