But but I don't have a billion dollars.

Just talk to Trump - he'll put out any amount of money (or get others to, preferably) if you just let him put his name on it.

Update

A gunpod and missiles!

Venom · 17th March 2012, 04:21 AM

Woohoo! We can put it to Alert 5 soon

Afalk · 17th March 2012, 04:25 AM

Sweet set of updates! I am very much loving this and delighted to see the new additions!

Splat · 18th March 2012, 09:27 AM

Tan.j I have NEVER been a fan of the VF-1A head, until now. You actually managed to make it look pretty cool. Excellent!

Mikala · 18th March 2012, 11:32 AM

Beautiful work tan.j.
Looks crazy fast even in a still with no motion blur.

BillS · 18th March 2012, 02:05 PM

That is just some stellar work!

tan.j · 24th March 2012, 12:00 AM

Thanks Venom, Afalk, Splat, Mikala and BillS.

In contrast, I have favored only the VF-1A head from 25 years ago

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I began to add parts required for the GERWALK mode to my VF-1A. Their parts would be added to my VE-1 or others too.

BillS · 24th March 2012, 05:58 AM

I'm going to go with stunning again

tan.j · 25th March 2012, 02:49 AM

@BillS and Mikala

Updated root parts of arms, which is required for transformation. Though their shape and size are different from those in original design drawings, I finally gave up realizing a way shown in the drawings

tan.j · 3rd April 2012, 06:57 AM

still adding parts and testing...

Starbase1 · 3rd April 2012, 07:22 AM

Nice clean renders - they show off your work and suit the subject matter very well!

Thanks Starbase1

I frequently use radiosity with the interpolated mode for rendering this kind of images, and now I can get images of the same quality in shorter time, nearly 1/3, by using a rendering engine of LW11!

Hands (manipulators?) are modeled at last

Excellent!
Have you any plans to model any of their opponents?

Venom · 6th April 2012, 02:05 PM

Thanks BillS, 3D_CG, Mikala and Venom.

I will build models of "Reguld" Battle Pods, if once I decided to make a very short animation based on an idea that I have

The VF-1S's head has been a bit dull for me, simply because its design was a kind of standard one of '80s in Japan.　We could see similar design here and there on various screens at that time.　I and my friends called it (modernized) Gort, a robot in the movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)"

BATTROID mode!

thecomcombremasquue · 8th April 2012, 11:19 AM

very nice, I like a lot, wait to see more

teknos · 9th April 2012, 01:54 PM

.... to Mr. Shoji Kawamori et. al., I would almost hazard to guess that the original designers of this beautiful airframe didn't know *exactly* what it looked like when they created it.

Tan, you have really shown us all what this air/spacecraft is *supposed* to look like.

My english vocabulary isn't large enough to express how thoroughly impressed I am with your work, and I've been speaking it for over 40 years. But if I were to try, the word I might use would be:

wow.

starship · 9th April 2012, 05:18 PM

I never watched the series, but your mesh surelly looks superb!

Venom · 9th April 2012, 06:02 PM

Duh.. you keep me amazed

Do you plan to make an artbook?

Afalk · 10th April 2012, 04:33 AM

These are amazing -- love how you reworked the arms for the change-over, and really like the subsequent updates. Just some great work, period.
