Hi Guys,

dougx · 29th May 2014, 07:16 AM

Ok just a quick shot of feet detail ,now I better go bed gotta get up for work in 6 hours lol

Rigel · 29th May 2014, 09:38 AM

Nice to see you working on a new model. Interesting subject choice and it's looking like a good, solid start.

You have to watch those all night modelling sessions; they'll kill your productivity every time!

bobby w · 29th May 2014, 10:24 AM

it's looking good

lonewriter · 29th May 2014, 07:25 PM

Looks like R2D2 has a new enemy. Keep up the great work.

dougx · 29th May 2014, 11:48 PM

Thanks Guys! just working on back wheel and some of the other details using a bit of creative license here and there alot of the ref pics show different contradictory details

dougx · 30th May 2014, 03:05 AM

A quick detour from cx onto another astromech thou quite a few parts are interchangeable should speed up modeling

Thanks Wiz ! Yeah that def must be your corridor then

You using lightwave? and just bout finished him now a few more details then onto some texturing!

Wiz · 16th Jun 2014, 06:57 AM

Looking good mate, although maybe just bevel the edges on his legs as they look a bit sharp.

I work in 3dsmax mate, and render with iray and do post in Photoshop (photographic filters can make such a difference to an image

).
