looks... evil

smoothing? what kind?

W -> smooth makes the angles smoother, but essentially deforms everything.

W-> Set Smooth makes the surface smooth. if it looks weird, press ctrl N (recalculate normals)

does anyone have Matoran heads ready?

ahh I just put in a little bit of smoothing groups, I think it just changes the normals slightly.

Also I think that Pirgah, who's working on the metruan, has one on his model, maybe ask him?

I made one or two changes and I think I've struck the line between evil and good avohkii's. Oh and I'm gonna link pics from now on.

yes, yes, that looks awesome!

did a Jaller V1, found that he would be way too big, then re-designed him, now i colored him and added armatures. only two pieces missing: hands and a head.

once that's done and some basic animations are done to see the results, i'll probably make a v3

anyone know if we have a Toa Empire emblem / symbol thingey?

Not that I know of(has reread the story several times since the start of all this). Maybe you could pm Eeko to put a request to the concept Artists.

Also I would love to see your Jaller!

Is it fine if I can speak here? I am the head of the concept artists.

Can someone tell me why Bomonga isn't in golden armor?

And people, I promise to give the animators more Toa's after I collect the concept arts by the rest of the artists. So please focus on them.

Good luck animators! (*wishes know how to use Blender*)

we know from DM that bomonga and kualus are in monotone colors, and in fact, that multi-tones ones are rare.

Kualus, bomonga, monotone. the makuta, all clad in black.

Well, the Toa Hagah got their armor in metallic color. see iruini and norik. bomonga's armor is gold, but the basic is black.

except that it does not state anything like "golden armor" or so. it just states "black toa and white toa".

anyone know when exactly the Hagah got their fancy stuff?

BS01:

Toa Empire Alternate Universe:

In this alternate universe, the Brotherhood of Makuta never recruited any Toa to be Toa Hagah, and so the individual members of the team never received new Kanohi or metallic armor. Instead, Gaaki, Pouks, Bomonga and Kualus pledged themselves to upholding the values of the Toa Empire.

haven't really figured out cloth yet, so not gonna do that one.

update:

-jaller has a head!

-jaller has a mask!

-jaller has a full armature!

-jaller walks!

once the walk animation is done, i'll upload it, and show it. check for feedback, then change further.

planned changes:

-armor (gonna make it more bionicle-esque, and give it more detail, make it less organic)

-feet (more detail, some changes)

-hands (has anyone made hands yet?)

We have Krika.

I feel like I'm running behind, I just have not had time to work lately.

hate those filters.

remember its a WIP.

Wow I'm a fair bit behind as well, it'll be atleast a week before takanuva's done...###### texturing.

Speaking of textures, should we give characters like the Makuta, the members of the resistance group, and Takua, dirty Armour or something?

Yeah, go ahead with that.

Just out of curiosity, and a little OT, whata groups are we all in, or hoping to be in...I'm vying for Team Metru.

Team Ignika. Although I have a feeling we'll group together more.

Are we all on Team Ignika or just him?

on another note, is there any kind of deadline that we have to have these models finished by? Although even if there is I doubt its anytime soon (the concept art/storyboard isn't done yet)

Oh of course, we are the smallest of the groups..personally I'd like it if there were a fair few more of us...maybe we should just consider having one animating group. Just thinking aloud

We finish when we finish. We'd rather have a quality piece take a while, then a cruddy one quickly.

I'm thinking that's what we'll do. There's simply too much to divide us magnificent seven.

So.... no clothes? But they look awesome.

And I get the hagah thing, sorry for that. You guys can change the color.

You can add them occasionally, but in small amounts. What you have on Kopaka is an absolute max.

Which brings me to a question. We'll probably want the most powerful machine to do the baking. So, what are your guys' computer capabilities? Mine are pretty good, I've got an iMac with a Terabyte of memory space.

Make them shorter or something? I just want the DM Mata's to look different.
