Lonewolf this is .. umm ..err. ... I don't even know what to say! Wow dude!

And people say 16 GB of RAM is enough...LOL

Looks amazing man.

16 is more than enough to do all the game art u need
Never had any problem but for this 100mil fucker i plan on getting
64gb ram just in case

Modeling isnt done yet O_O

Dude.... DUDE!

This is insane. I've loved this ever since you first posted the hand (infact the hand is printed out and on my inspiration wall lol)

Can't believe how much detail there is.

Wow....this is crazy insane!! Kudos!

image isnt popping up for me

The images aren't loading for me

website down ;_;

edit: yay google thumbnails

lol

it should work now

thanx

64G of ram I want that, and the model!

I am curious how you got the max veiwport to push over 100m polys. I cant get it to not stutter with at least 10m and I have 24 gigs ram, 3930k at 4.5Ghz, and an AMD 7970. How are you even able to model that?

Wow dat detail :O insane dude

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Hi Lonewolf,

Nice "little" model you've got there man, if there was a grammy for hardsurface modeling I bet you ll get it.

Regarding the model itself I saw the design from don figueroa, and although I know this is your interpretation, and a kickass one. Something I ll like from the concept is the contrast between volumes, going from massive to "less massive" silhouettes. Making an already hugely detailed model a bit more dynamic imo. Your looks a bit stiff, this is personal opinion.

this is a pic showing what I mean, hopefully you dont mind constructive criticisme man.
Cheers.

Great model lonewolf, stunning detail.

Cdizzle is correct, you just need slightly better scene management. Vray proxies enable you to unload and load models into memory based on the buckets which are rendering. The smaller the buckets in the renderer the more unloading/loading that happens but it will only use available ram.

some more info here:

http://www.spot3d.com/vray/help/200R...oxy_params.htm

We render billions of polygons at work at 10-20k resolutions for print using this method. Mostly Vue work when it calls for it but we have 12gb of ram on the machines we are using on the render farm and this is with full GI solutions.

you might also try separating parts of the models into Xrefs and loading them in, this will make your render scene much lighter and give you the ability to turn them on and off when you're not working with the models. It also means you can make updates in isolation and they will pass through to your render file.

Will be great to see this badboy textured!

nice machine u got
i mean its 115mill after turbosmooth

dont remember how much before, i think 10~mill but not sure
and yea its laggy but i hide what i dont need when i work on certain part

i really liked the concept and ill just pull a "michael bay transformation"
just slap few on the main parts of the vehicle on him so i dont worry about it or something

this is what i did when i started but then i though its getting too cartonish look rather than "realistic" look

my goel was to make something that can stand next to optimus prime and got the same feel

ill see if i have some wip shots when some parts were more exaggerated

wow nice poly modeling~~~ very nice!

awesome...

with some proper scene management(proxies and such) i'm sure you can render it nicely on your rig
great work

Sure man, It does look badass indeed. Might also be the camera angle. Anyways awesome work lonewolf.
