Re: Fun post-season animation

Well, I tried to follow this image (all credits there go to Josh Been, not drawn by me) but like I said the final version isn't quite like what I had hoped.

Wireframe

There's what I have so far. I'll probably make the legs longer and fix those little things later. Forgive the terrible quality, Paint doesn't export to JPG well and I don't currently have access to Paint Shop Pro. I'll post a better one later.

I have tried to make mechs before, but i always get to where i make it up as i go along and they end up looking really stupid. do you plan out each part individually or what?
I'd say the best plan is to draw it out on paper first, to get the layout and shapes down. That's the hardest part. Because I essentially copied someone else's drawing for this one, the tough part was pretty much done allowing me to finish modeling in about a day.
