Sensei Challenge #5 - Greebles - Pyrocitor

[Pyrocitor]

I spent an hour or so last night just kind of working out a basic shape
So here's what I've got so far
And you can bet there will be more pipes and cables cos I love making them, even though they can be pretty poly intensive

Anyway good luck everyone :thumb:

[toby-wan]

good start.

[Pyrocitor]

I've started adding afew details and things
I think it sort of looks like it could be some sort of generator or something actually

[Ozylot]

almost could be an engine or turret or something.

cool stuff.

[Pyrocitor]

Mines sort of evolving into an engine/turret looking thing :lol:

I'm wondering if I should connect the side exhaust manifold looking thing into the ground next too it, rather than sticking it in the back :D
What do you guys think?

[biotech]

Nice, the body shape reminds me a lot of K9 though.

[Ozylot]

yeah it would be better connected into the base.

Nice details! :thumb:

[Pyrocitor]

My greeble is growing greebles :lol:

I decided to cut the pipe off that plugs back into itself and instead added a filter of some sort on the end
I've still got the whole other side to detail though :p

@biotech - Whats K9?

EDIT - :lol: I hit post comment before I attached an image

[Ozylot]

Nice progress!!

any other angles?

oh and an idea for you: those little round things on the front tube. Maybe make those into pipes that connect at random points all over the greeble. Just a thought.

Nice work bro! :thumb:

[Chanur]

Nice stuff pyrocitor :thumb:

Watch you this (http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/gallery/k9/index.shtml) ;)

Nice work bro! :thumb:

I'll render some other angle once I've done some work on the other side

That's a really cool idea about the pipes, I'm gona try that, as long as it doesn't give my poly count too much of a hammering :D

I don't watch Doctor Who so that explains why I didn't know what it was :)

I'll post more updates later today

[Ozylot]

Nice! its getting crazy .... I like crazy! :D

[Pyrocitor]

Last update for the day, then i'm going to bed

I'm glad you suggested the pipes ozy, IMO they look awesome, even though I havn't finished putting all of them in.

And can anyone guess what the closeup of one of the greebles is?

[Ozylot]

Great scott!! He's got a flux capacitor!! ;)

Nice work bro! :thumb:

[Pyrocitor]

Thanks man

Now I just have to hit it with 1.21 Jigawatts of energy going at 88mph and poof, it's gone :D

[Pyrocitor]

For all those with pipe fetishes :D

[Ozylot]

Nice work dude! the pipes are awesome!

[BEMEUP]

For all those with pipe fetishes :D

My god, how did you know?

Sweeeet work!!

[Pyrocitor]

Ok probably my last update as I've only got 23:30 left before my deadline.

What do you guys think about the change of the exhaust manifold looking thing to the three filters instead.
I kind of liked the curves of the original one but I think the three seperate filters make it look more interesting

Only a few more details left and then I'm finished.
Can I post two render's for my final entry, since you cant see both sides in one image?

I really should go to bed now (why is there no yawn emoticon? :D)

[Ozylot]

I think it would be good to see both sides, maybe you could put 2 angles into a single render.

Great work on this!

[Pyrocitor]

Any opinion on the change to the three cylinder/filter things on the side?

[Ozylot]

Its better in its current configuration. IMO

[Pyrocitor]

Thanks

The filters stay
