Where oh where has the little boy gone?

Primary Modeling complete. I need to finish optimizing the mesh for export, prep for rigging, and start unwrapping this beast. I may be able to get it on three texture sheets, I'm going to try.

1 Main Body
2 Heads
3 Left Weapon Arms
4 Right Weapon Arms
5 Golden Rings.....

3882 Tri's at full layout, it will probably come down in the final version.

Full Spread



Left side weapons (Missile launcher, Close Combat Claw, Assault Drill)



Right side weapons (Close Combat Claw, TL Autocannon, TL Lascannon, Multi-Melta)



Close Combat Dreadnought Loving!!!



Comments and critique, are as always, welcome

Wow! That's rather a lot of weapons! Looking very impressive though Can't wait to see what you can do with the unwrap

[MadMaffMan]

Any new updates on the progress of the model, cann't wait to see it in action.

That's incredible!

What program are you using to create that? I'd like to try it.

All DoW modelling has to be done in 3DSMax - it's the only program that Relic made an exporter for.

As for Devestators and Vindicator tanks - they're already in mods. Medes is making the Devestators (Telboy wants to include them in the WA version of his campaign mod) and compiler made a full armoury of Space Marine tanks.

Oh, yes. I found the tanks on another mod, actually, after I'd posted, but, do you know if the devastators mod is ready? THNX!

You need to be careful with those partial quotes - you keep losing one of the tags

As for the Devestators, not that I know of. Telboy is still waiting for them for his campaign, as far as I know. Any other discussion is off-topic for this thread. Post a new thread in Sideline Games if you want to discuss mods.

Sorry, but I just want to say one thing, if he made a full armoury of SM tanks, then does that mean that there are some that weren't even in the codex, like the one on the Steel Legion mod, or will it just be contained to all the SM tanks in the codex?

P.S.
Do you have a link to that?

P.P.S.
Is there a tutorial I can find for using 3DS Max on this site?
I just downloaded it, and if the trial runs out, then I will erase the file from my P.C. and download it again, because I want to be just as good as Mel Danes

I've just thought, is it possible to have videos in the posts?
If it is, then Mel Danes could give one of the model in action.

If Mel wants to submit one then I'd gladly host a model, but I suspect that it was only modelled and wasn't rigged or animated.

As for tutorials on using 3DS Max, I'd host them but I've never used it and no-one has ever submitted one. Besides, I'm fairly sure 3DS Max comes with it's own tutorial files including examples, and you can always try Google: [google]3ds max tutorial[/google]
