AT-AT

[gre03]

This suprisingly took me about 8 hours to make (i normally spend a few days on a Project). i am quite pleased with it. but the only thing i need help on is the background.

Here is the site i used for a guide.

Sci-Fi models and animations

 

Any comments would be appreciated.

Go SciFi3D! I've been with them for awhile. They are absolutely the best!

Andrew,

I like the background as is.

 

The foreground looks a bit flat... almost as if they are walking across a frozen lake.

Adding some detail there might make the difference.

 

Very nice.

Hey cool! I love the At-AT. One of the best things in the SW movies. You might want to change the posing of the legs.

[Zaryin]

The models are great. Especially for eight hours work.

[Biotron2000]

That looks great! I'd love to see it animated, too.

[Newbert_Zero]

that looks really good. but it appears as if behind the head there is no detail. i dont know if its soposed to be like that though.

[starwarsguy]

Whenever I use SciFi3D for detailed reference, I end up making too many splines... I am working off of the ARC Fighter WIP right now. I'm gonna try to use bump maps for the little stuff.

Be-A-utiful!

yeah, the models look great, but the shadows are a little confusing. You've got the hard-edged shadows off to the left, then the soft pools of shadow directly below the heads...or is that an oil leak?

Sci-fi looks like a pretty cool site. Accept for one very alarming thing though. Noone, not anyone modeled a princes Leah or qween Amidala model. What the heck is that?! If I were to spend my time on a star wars character it would be one of those too first.

[starwarsguy]

They made 2 Amidalas that were unreleased. They were being used in Son of Suns. See? That proves I worked with them for awhile.

There's waaay cooler things in SW than just mere women.

[starwarsguy]

LOL. Like General Grievous. Except he's not cool in the end, because... Well, it's how he dies. You'll see when Episode III comes out. BTW, Tragedy, a new trailer, just came out. It has the first released new music. It rocks!

[Newbert_Zero]

Thanks for spoiling the movie!!!!!!!! you FAT MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!! IM GOING TO EAT YOU!!!!!!!! *cough* can we see another render please?

[gre03]

does anyone know where I could get a movie of an AT-AT walking?

Uh... The Empire Strikes Back?

[starwarsguy]

LOL

[jfirestine]

I remember watching the Making of Empire Strikes Back, years, and years ago. The stop motion animators used footage of elephants to get the walk cycles for the AT-AT walkers.

[Newbert_Zero]

elephats hau? I wonder if it was becaue of the weight of elaphants. and that there on 4 legs.

[starwarsguy]

That's exactly why.

[iGeek]

I'm sure it was the grayness. You know, it's very hard to portray gray realistically. You need to go scout out all kinds of gray references. Too dark or too light can just ruin your day. I wish I were über enough to animate gray. Seriously folks, looks really nice.

I built one of those a while back, drove me nuts trying to rig it...

 

Overall your model looks good however, I think you should add some weathering to make it appear as though it's been used & fired upon.

 

Also, I think in the long run it would benefit you to swap the bump maps for real modeled geometry especially when those snowspeeders fly in close to do their harpoon maneuvers.

 

...just a thought
