Vehicle Week 2

Mech Progress~

After doing some research into articulated machinery in Videos Game, im giving myslef a hard limit of 35,000 tris with the personal goal of staying below 30k. Vehicles that are solid have fewer tris but based on mechs and articulated vehicles like tanks from some FPS games put the average to about 35-40k. This alongside the fact that I'm also furnishing the sidecar and vending machine makes me feel lke 35k is a good number with a strong possibility of goin lower.

 And to show of a bit of the ability to move. I have the arms and legs all figured out motionwise and implemented, except for the wrists/ankles which are gonna need a series of tubes I think. I'm also using the text to polygon tool, It can be cut out and baked if necessary but I really like the look of it

Week 1: Blockout basic shapes and get reference together

\Week 2. Finish Low poly (fingers crossed no re-top necessary)
Week 3. High poly sculpt and time to retop anything if it needs it.
Week 4. Uv and start with textures
Week 5. Textures and rendering

"Vehicle" Turn-In #1

First turn in for the vehicle/environment project

Im doing this vending machine mech, that Cameron Sewell (twitter: https://twitter.com/Thdark101) Illustrated

My reference board is mostly that image, along with other mechanical based drawings by the same artist so that I can see how they handle stuff from different angles and general mechanical images, and a few extra drawings that I thought had some cool bits to look at.

 What with.... everything... it's been a bit of a slow start, but It'll pick up next week

Need to make the legs a touch chonkier, and add.... arms
