Captainimpactor's War Machine Shoulder Model [Wip]

[CaptainImpactor]

Hello members of the 405th.



As a method to relieve myself of the boredom that is revision for January exams, I had a go at modelling the shoulder for War Machine, mainly using the Iron Man 2 trailer released last month.



Using a good Iron Man MkIII shoulder (sorry I can't remember who made it), I started to modify it, constantly referring to the few seconds in the trailer (MPC frame step, I love you), and I ended up with the resulting model.



You can tell this is my first time modelling (much better at unfolding pre-made models), due to the bad workmanship (wobbly edges, uneven troughs, etc), but I plan on getting better. And so I'm mainly looking for peoples opinions on the model.



Anyway, the best blender render is below, and so are the .blend and .obj files and I'm putting working on it, on a hiatus due to exam proximity - even though there are still quite a few bits on the model I need to get around to.



If people want to have a go at it and improve it, then go ahead as I'm not doing this purely for personal gain - I need practice, and there're no better critics than ones peers .

Looks good. War Machine's shoulders look much more aggressive than Iron Man's, and I really like them.

Shoulder looks great but i would apply the EdgeSplit and the subsurf modifier to take away the poly look

Looks good so far. I'm wondering if the shoulder bells are two piece, bottom sliding under top.. considering there looks to be tracks (which you put in your excellent model).

I'm working on mine (non 3D Model made out of cardboard) and am planning on doing this, as it would increase the range of motion that you could have when wearing the suit.



Good job so far, keep up the great work.

and show it under the ambiant oclusion render!

Thanks guys, things have been on a bit of a hiatus, as getting ready for some festivals, being on three committees and then still having my degree work, cuts into my free time....quite a bit.

I'm hoping that more screens will come out at some point, so I can get the front of the shoulder bell sorted first, considering how the spidermedia.ru concept art seems to differ slightly from what you can see in the trailer.
