Felt like modeling again, so I started working on this bad boy. This is still very much a work in progress and pretty early in the making, but I'm liking where it's going. 8)

Based on original sketches by Tabnir.

That wee beastie looks BADASS !!! Has a kind of "Pacific Rim" feel to it too.

Ditch the banana clips. They look really out of place.

Holy Hell, that looks awesome!!! :))

This is the first rendition of the Annihilator I really like! Well done. O0
I have to agree though: it would look even better without the 'magazines'.

Teslacoil · « **Reply #7 on:** 12 June 2016, 14:31:16 »

How's this?

ColBosch · « **Reply #8 on:** 12 June 2016, 15:18:07 »

Much better! O0

Teslacoil · « **Reply #9 on:** 20 June 2016, 07:06:38 »

A little bit more progress. Decided to do an actual render this time to show the model a little better. Still ways to go before it's done. 8)

It's a little fuzzy here and there with some errors in the render, but it's good enough for quickie.

ColBosch · « **Reply #10 on:** 20 June 2016, 12:23:06 »

Wow! That looks astoundingly good.

Sapphirus · « **Reply #11 on:** 20 June 2016, 16:12:43 »

ack! My jaw just dropped all the way to the ground due to its awesomeness!

Looks really good the head reminds me of a Jaffa helmet from Stargate

On a side note when I saw the thread title I was expecting a busted up bar...

It's under the left foot.

So an annihilator, an atlas, and a banshee walk into a bar... The bar was destroyed. :))

Looks great!

Leave off the Dragoon logos and change the name and I think you'll be okay, legally. Your design is as different from the original as the "classics" are from the Unseen.

I'd also buy a few.

Very nice work! O0

What software are you using to render it?

Reminds me of a Serpent Guard from Stargate.

Wow this is sick! Lol mechagodzilla is the first thing that came to mind!

Teslacoil · « **Reply #28 on:** 02 October 2016, 16:39:44 »

Update tiem! As it is, there's about 530k quads in the base model, in case anyone is interested. Subdivide it a couple of times and it's a fair bit more...

Model is getting closer to completion, but still very much incomplete. I got a bit distracted by the nice summer weather so this is taking much longer than I anticipated. Here's my take on the Zeta battalion color scheme. Black is such a boring color so I went with a bit more grayish tone.[drool]

ColBosch · « **Reply #29 on:** 02 October 2016, 17:38:13 »

I'll take a regiment. No, a brigade. No...tell you what, I'll take all of them.

That looks fantastic! I love the small details that you added, they compliment the model well and work great as a throw-back to a modern tank or those seen in WWII, with the shovels mounted on the feet and other doodads; they really add realism. I also really like your take on the joint covers.

Teslacoil · « **Reply #33 on:** 04 March 2017, 14:33:00 »

Hey y'all! I'm pretty much done with the geometry, might do a few tweaks here and there but that's it. I'm generally quite pleased with the mech. O0

In case anyone cares, the base model is a tad under 740000 quads.

Now I'm on to doing some rigging and material work in 3DS Max before rendering some hardcore mech porn. A preview with some initial material testing:

Is the gun in the left torso missing its muzzlecap? I see them on the arm guns and on the right torso gun, but not that one...

I may be a little late for this thread, but top notch work there! Gausszilla indeed >:D Would totally love to have a few of those!
