This is a very rough mesh of a battle robot .... made various mistakes here and there and definitely not the type of standard for submission... but oh well, practice counts!
Name : Mat Cat
Behavior: The Mad Cat is a very versatile robot that can traverse onto many different types of terrain, not only that, the Mad Cat can launch a flurry of LRMs (Long Range Missles) through its "ears"(the two boxes beside the main body). The two arms carries light cannons and laser cannons.
Will probably texture it in time to come.
Process:
A basic dissect of the mech
Techniques
The techniques used in this whole mech was mostly based on extruding faces, edge loops and manipulating vertices. Of course, I mirrored the robot after I finished working on one side so that the model will be symmetric(Duplicate Special Tool). Well, another inaccurate way of mirroring your model was to over-scale on the x-axis. But using this way might not give the most accurate result, thus duplicating special is a better way.
Many of the shapes were built on the polygon cube and extruded into the many shapes shown above.
Since I did not take screenshots during the process, I would like to share more about the weapon arm of the robot.
As you can see, this part of the robot was extruded from the main body by selecting a specific face and using edge loop tools to define this face. From there, using the extrude tool and manipulating with vertices at some points such as the curve, I have ended up with this
The tools used for this model were not of vast variety, rather, it was more time consuming rather than difficult. The only major problem I had was with the cockpit(the round thing in the middle of the body). I was to practice topology and managing vertices with this exercise.
P.S This is my "primitive" robot.
