New faction preview, in glorious 3D!

Post by aman460 » Tue Jun 30, 2015 2:37 pm

Howdy guys! As you can obviously tell I'm new here. Been lurking around for 'round a year, and finally decided to post the beginnings of a new faction. This is a preview of said faction. Anyway, enough with the formalities.
Denizens of this forum, men and woman of all ages, fear not the future, for the future is upon you. To the best of my knowledge, I bring you the first ever armory post (LDD doesn't count) in glorious 3D !! The teknology is still being refined (I'm still learning how to use autodesk 123D catch), but when mastered imagine the potential; No more wondering where the hell all your troops are in forum battles. 3D battle maps will clearly and easily show the positions of every troop. Gone are the days of three, four, even five pictures of one vehicle. A 3D model shows every possible angle of said vehicle at once. Without further ado, I bring you a preview of my faction; The brawler mech (name still in progress, suggestions accepted):

THE PAST
Image
The brawler suit! (or other name. I suck at names) I wanted to build a mech suit, but I hated how ball joints and the joints they used on those knight's kingdom wanna-be-bionicles looked. So I attempted, with my limited building skills, to create a fully articulated mech without them.

Kinda 3D-ish not really .gif

And the moment you've all been waiting for... 3D!! (yeah, i know it's not embedded in the post. Click the link and deal with it)

The quality on the 3D model isn't ideal, but like i said I'm still learning how to use the software. My upcoming post of the entire faction (well really just most of the vehicles... ran out of parts before i finished and I'm running low on minifigs) will have 3D models with hopefully better quality.
Thanks for your time and enjoy!

Well, tough the pic might be a bit bigger, that's a pretty cool mech, right there. And that 3D stuff is actually quite adorable, if crude, but I think, it'll get better.

Yes-quite nicely done!
I'd like to see more of this style of display on a regular basis. :omnom:

Looks pretty cool. GT and black is my favorite color scheme.

I had to take all those pictures to make the model in the first place, so I figured why not. If you're going to try to make one of those .gifs on a post, you might as well send me the pictures and I can try to make a 3D model out of them. pm me if you (or really anyone else) is interested and I can give you some more info

The mech itself is looking great.
The 3d presentation is also very interesting. I will check it out for myself when I have time.
