METAL GEAR REX
« on: August 18, 2009, 08:39:13 PM »
over the last few days ive been scanning the internet RELENTLESSLY to find a model of my all time favorite mech... metal gear rex.... however this search returned no results other than a model that was for 50$ a friggin download (that is not authorized my kojima productions btw)..... screw that....

so i thought to my self.... im a modeler...i know what the hell im doing in max.... THE HELL WITH IT, ILL MAKE MY OWN DAMN MODEL....

heh heh so i did.. and im gonna be arrogant and say its A HELL OF ALOT BETTER LOOKING than the one id have to friggin pay for...but not the in game one from MGS4... i cant touch that quality... maybe
:D

im basing this model of the ORIGINAL design sketches from MGS1.
the model is HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY detailed.

this here is 17 hours of work... and the model is ALMOST done... :D
(minus the rest of the legs, "filler" peices some smooting, detailing, textures, and the inevitable rigging)














so all i ask is... whos gonna help me make this bad boy walk when im done?

even though MGS3 was my favorite out of the series (ending still brings a tear to me eye, has the BEST soundtrack aside to final fantasy12, and i have yet to play the 4th one or P.O.), i didnt like the shagohod all that much. it was alright considering it was a design based for the 60s,  but i wasnt really a big fan of the design, but it does confirm Gurlukovichs comment that the technology that gave birth to the metal gears was russian, and i guess that was the point.
it really wouldnt be that much of a challenge either, its very basic, i could probably have it modeled out in a day, because rex walks and has alot of moving parts, i have to make every individual part that moved independent from the main body, and thats whats taking me soo long.

MG Ray on the other hand would be a pain in the arse considering its a smooth design, but i hated Ray, and i was glad to see that Rex in a dilapidated state kicked the crap out of it, and i have yet to get a good look at the new gekkos.

Pretty sweet start. I don't think you're actually far off the mark for the MGS4 version as far as modeling is concerned so far. Really, most of the impressive nature of computer game models comes from the creative use of textures -most modern graphics engines support normal maps which can work minor miracles for surprisingly little work.

then youuus gunna loooove the finished model.
textures are started, so now i begs the question?

anyone wanna do the rigging and the IKs for this puppy?
all attempts ive made have.... well failed..... MISERABLY.
i can get the biggest majority of the joints to function properly, however its just that damnded sliding joint on the legs.....
and the constrictions.... skeleton rigging is new territory for me im afraid :(











:D i love looking at it..
textures have started BTW, im doing it in the camo pattern thats on the papermodel.... plus maybe a woodland one for the hell of it

Incredibly nice model dude. Can't wait to see it textured :D


And you're making an Arsenal Gear as well?
Then you gotta make the RAY (regular, production model, or both) as well, just to make a render of REX standing up against the Arsenal's RAY "bodyguards" on top of it  :lol:
As hard as it can be to make RAY, I think that's a scene you would like to see even hating RAY lol


The Gekkos main body are regular metal/box shaped kinda like REX (so I guess easy to do), however their rather extensive legs are organic (so, hard to do - and seeing what they do in MGS4, especially hard to animate, more so to a guy that has problems animating REX, which is easy to animate when compared to the Gekkos lol), and overall they're much smaller too.

if i can find some reference pics for arsenal gear i would lol, but i was actually referring to my arsenal class that im almost done with.... ironically i was playing MGS2 when i came up with the arsenal class

if only you could get a screencap during the MGS3 scene in the Drunk's office.  all the models happen to be sitting on and around the guy's desk.  that'd give you a couple skin ideas...
