Here is another work-in-progress 3D model that I made using blender.

It's the lower half of Metal Gear REX from the 1998 video game Metal Gear Solid.

I can't wait to post screenshots of the finished version of it!

Well, I was going to look at it, but the website tells me it's been deleted. :biggrin:

Nice work!

Here is an updated version of my project. All that's left to model is the head. It's about 80% finished.

Nicely done!

Here's my latest work, An Imperial AT-AT

Pretty much done, just needs a little detail work.

Nice models.

A point of advice would be to bake your ambient occlusion into a texture multiplier. It'll make your model look less flat.

You've done a good job on this model.
I made some small detail additions for my AT-AT, added a simple environment and adjusted the lighting.

Here are different screenshots of my model sitting down instead of standing up.

Have you done a full render of you model yet, or are these screenshots of the modeling view port? If you do a full render, the result can be better, plus you can choose the resolution and scale of your image. You can also save the rendered image directly without doing a screen capture.
Here's a comparison between a screenshot of the view port in the "rendered" setting and the image saved from the full render for the project I just finished (in keeping with the theme of the last model, it is a Rebel snowspeeder).
First is the screenshot.

And now the full render image:

I have a habit of doing test renders as I work on my model in order to get a better feel for what the final look will be.

Quick disclaimer: While the helmets for the pilots were done in Blender, the actual pilots weren't. They were created in DAZ 3D Studio and imported as wavefront(.obj) objects. DAZ 3D has pre-loaded posable human figures which make things a lot easier than making them with Blender.

Yeah, here is the final textured version of it.

Related to Another work-in-progress 3D model of mine

1. What inspired you to create this 3D model?

I was inspired by the intricate and beautiful designs found in nature, particularly in plants and animals. I wanted to challenge myself to create a model that captures the complexity and detail of these natural forms.

2. How long does it take to create a 3D model like this?

The time it takes to create a 3D model varies depending on the complexity of the design and the software being used. However, on average, it can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks to complete a high-quality 3D model.

3. What software do you use to create your 3D models?

I use a variety of software, including Blender, Maya, and ZBrush, to create my 3D models. Each software has its own strengths and capabilities, so I like to use a combination of them to achieve the best results.

4. Can you explain your process for creating a 3D model?

My process usually begins with sketching out my design on paper, followed by creating a basic 3D model using primitive shapes in the software. From there, I refine and add details to the model, using various tools and techniques, until I am satisfied with the final result.

5. Do you have any tips for aspiring 3D modelers?

My biggest tip would be to practice, practice, practice! 3D modeling is a skill that takes time and dedication to develop. Also, don't be afraid to experiment and push yourself out of your comfort zone. And most importantly, have fun with it!
