Mech design work in progress

Hi I am trying to scuplt and modelise this mech design from Adam Baines, its a bit hard cause I am transfering my 3dsmax knowledge to Zbrush and my pen isnt working correctly (I will buy another one next week) I am using spotlight projection, Dynamesh and Zmodeler my tool is abit messy because of all my boolean object, fortunatly there is the folder…

Any crits or advise are more than welcomeMech_Concept_Art_by_Adam_Baines

It coming along well. I would also use some Dynamic Subdiv on the low polygon items you are making with ZModeler. This way you will see what the piece will look like when divided. Not to mention it will help when converting the LIVEBoolean items.

Hey thanks for the tips I will try what you suggest me…
Let’s keep in touch

hello, I tried to subdivide the articulation if I understand its for later when I will rasterize the booleans? I fight with cockpit, I tried several times, and abandonned the dynamesh for the moment, I was focus on the greeble parts first wich I think its not a good idea?
I challenge myself by not using 3dsmax for the modeling issue zmodeler is different than it but effective and powerfull but I still have to learn alot for my workflow i think…

Thanks , cu

I have difficulties to approach the shape I am a bit lost, I think I need more tutorial before doing it maybe…

Hello

Ya I would say it’s not wide enough now. I would also say the top half is too tall. I would squash that surface a bit more.

Hi Paul, I scale the half upper part abit i don’t know if you think its ok?I don’t know how to approach the shape, its doesnt looks good, I am abit disapointed…
