Hey Woodsy,
Loving the WoW posts and seeing all the different takes on the Martian machines.
I sent you mine if you'd like to see and share them with the rest of gang. Sadly I have not gotten it to actually walk so it is just a static model. But at least it towers and glows a bit!

I had to do a double take here Lance! is that a 3d model in cgi? great work, really looks authentic!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill! I guess you could call it cgi as those shots are rendered in an online virtual world known as Second Life. It is built using mostly in world tools and few parts that were imported in. The house and forest were made by other players using out of world tools. The shadows are generated real time by the viewer,the shots have not been enhanced in any way other than a bit of cropping for composition.
DeleteJust so I understand Lance, is the tripod an image or a physical model? Either way they are stunning pictures and the one of the tripod looming over the homestead is really startling. Well done!
DeleteIt does not exist in the real world other than as data. No physical model, just computer data. In the virtual world, it has presence, is solid but can be moved and positioned and interacted with. Guess that's my wordy way of saying it is a computer model, not a physical model.
DeleteIt really is a work of art Lance. It looks ace!
