Here is another work-in-progress 3D model that I made using blender.

It's the lower half of Metal Gear REX from the 1998 video game Metal Gear Solid.

I can't wait to post screenshots of the finished version of it!

Well, I was going to look at it, but the website tells me it's been deleted. :biggrin:
 
Here's what I'm presently working on with Blender. Original series Colonial Viper.

3D render of a grey fighter spacecraft with a long pointed nose, twin rear engines and red-orange trim, shown against a plain dark grey background.

Nice work!

Here is an updated version of my project. All that's left to model is the head. It's about 80% finished.

It looks like it's coming along nicely.

Now it's about 90% done!

Nicely done!

Here's my latest work, An Imperial AT-AT
Grey untextured 3D render of an Imperial AT-AT walker in Blender, shown from the front-left at a three-quarter angle against a dark background, with its long armoured legs planted on round footpads.

Pretty much done, just needs a little detail work.

Nice models.

A point of advice would be to bake your ambient occlusion into a texture multiplier. It'll make your model look less flat.

Finally done!

You've done a good job on this model.
I made some small detail additions for my AT-AT, added a simple environment and adjusted the lighting.

Here are different screenshots of my model sitting down instead of standing up.

Have you done a full render of you model yet, or are these screenshots of the modeling view port? If you do a full render, the result can be better, plus you can choose the resolution and scale of your image. You can also save the rendered image directly without doing a screen capture.
Here's a comparison between a screenshot of the view port in the "rendered" setting and the image saved from the full render for the project I just finished (in keeping with the theme of the last model, it is a Rebel snowspeeder).
First is the screenshot.
Low-angle 3D render of a white and orange Rebel snowspeeder on a snowy surface under a blue sky, with its twin cannons pointing forward.

And now the full render image:
Computer-rendered 3D model of a white Rebel snowspeeder with orange panels and twin forward cannons, sitting on a snowy surface under a blue sky.


I have a habit of doing test renders as I work on my model in order to get a better feel for what the final look will be.

Quick disclaimer: While the helmets for the pilots were done in Blender, the actual pilots weren't. They were created in DAZ 3D Studio and imported as wavefront(.obj) objects. DAZ 3D has pre-loaded posable human figures which make things a lot easier than making them with Blender.

Yeah, here is the final textured version of it.
