Cool looking creatures, I am looking forward to seeing them polished up.

With the Hard body stuff you can use the zbrush hard surface brushes or you can create the more intricate pieces in maya of softimage, etc.
Blocking out the shape first in zbrush then retopologizing it in the main 3D program might help too.
Back in maya you can bevel the edges, add edges, etc to give a sharper and cleaner look.
Depending on what you plan to render with, you can bring it back to zbrush to subdivide a few times to give a very nice hard body look. Then exporting normal maps to be rendered in mental ray or just use the BPR render in zbrush.

Good luck guys!

I'm in! Very interesting concept! I will post as soon as I have something to show.

stonestef · 05-09-2012, 08:52 PM

The human part is pretty much done. I have some ideas for the hands and the torso which I have started but don't know what to do with the legs yet.

Neat idea, I'll jump into this one! Here's the first iteration of the fleshy bits, just working on making the silhouette interesting.

hello everybody my concept of biomech is almost done

kryssmen · 05-13-2012, 06:43 PM

Very cool work guys!

1 Week left!!!

This is the time to really push yourselves with your work to try to polish it as much as possible. If you are done the sculpting phase then start texturing. The better your work looks then more people will vote for it.

Didn't have as much time as I wanted! And I haven't even started his hands! I will definitely have it ready before the deadline though!
