Great model! What's the roughness of your clay?

[Half Life]

Thank-you

It is just the default material as far as I know

I would like to really get into painting/texturing this the way Rusteberg does, but Sketchup has a real issue with UV mapping anything like this... If anybody wants the raw model when I'm done let me know.

Best,
Jason.

Beautiful work, looking forward to seeing how far it goes.

[Half Life]

I'm about to move into applying materials -- I've been agonizing over the pose... I'm very constrained by the videos because I have to use HDRI backgrounds that can be found for free online and there aren't too many good options for a nearly 150ft robot.

Ideally I want to use this for a epic battle scene with a few hundred robots and spaceships in Maxwell Studio but I can't go there until I get a few different robots done.

What do you think of this pose?



Best,
Jason.

[Half Life]

I found a nice free HDRI of the milky way that I used since My ultimate goal is a space battle I thought it appropriate.



Best,
Jason.

here's a bit of post processing:

Now this rocks!

[Half Life]

Thank-you Tom

I plan to take this into Z-brush and work up a few different variations of decals and distressing so that no two Glaugs in my final scene with be identical... but since that is well outside the scope of my video series this will have to be considered the final.

I've been begging for Sketchup to get some UV unwrap capabilities for a while now because projects like this could really benefit from that -- I'd like to keep this all "in house" for the video series but it just isn't possible with the current UV system.

Best,
Jason.

yep that rocks dude ... very nice

[David Solito]

nice... The stars reflecting on the guns are confusing me.

[Half Life]

Thank-you both I will definitely revisit the materials once I have the UV's sorted... I have to edit videos till my eyes cross right now, so no more work on this for a bit

Best,
Jason.

[Half Life]

I'm going to be detailing all the parts in ZBrush and here's the first piece:



Best,
Jason.

[Half Life]

I've been playing with different painting/layering strategies for the Maxwell materials -- I'll probably do a few more tests before I move on since it's better to figure out how I want to proceed before getting too far into it.



Best,
Jason.

[m-Que]

That's really cool to see you're going to work on details and materials. Really looking forward to that.
BTW, are you still offering a raw model, Jason? I would LOVE to play with it.

[Half Life]

Do you want posed or unposed?

Best,
Jason.
