Hey all,
This is my first post here, I wanted to share my latest work, its a model of a mech walker that I designed and then 3D printed. I relied heavily on the Live Booleen features of zbrush to model the hard surface detail and I found the IMM Booleen brush essential in adding nice little greeble details
My biggest influence in designing this robot is from the work of Yoji Shinkawa on Metal Gear Solid 4. I liked the idea of blending organic legs/limbs with a mechanical body, and this is my take on the concept. You can see below I like to sketch out my ideas before starting a sculpt, this gives me something to work towards and ultimately improve as the zbrush sculpt progresses.
I do a lot of 3D printing as a hobby, so I wanted to see what level of detail I could achieve with my Ultimaker 2 by printing this model out. While I’m pleased with the results right now, I can see myself printing this model again in future, hopefully on something like a Form2 to get maximum detail.
Hope you all enjoyed seeing this work, I’m at my image limit for the first part of the post, I have more images if anyone wants to see more.
