Wow!

Very Nice Work!:up:

a professonal production, very good!
the scene doesn't do the mesh justice, though.

Excellent work. The only thing I would recommend is to make the feet a bit bigger for better support of weight. Unless this thing is very light, it might sink into the ground a bit in soil conditions.

Looks great

okee...
This is incredable!

I'd love to see her animated

My favorite mech! Nice, light, and with good jump ability...

In fact, I'd love to see her in the middle of a jump. :)

thanks all for your comments and critics... there are some interestings ideas, but few infos:
- this mech has 400.000 polygons and the whole scene contains 1.4 million polygons
- I need few second to rotate the scene in wireframemode
- renderings takes few minutes per picture..


I just will say that my computer cant handle this model for huge projects :-(


Now I will start with a new project (ARCHER MECH) so if somebody can help me to find
gread images of them would be great!

Gorgeous! What modeler? Max? LW?

I'm using 3dsmax R5.1sp1.
