That's awesome dude!

What kind of program do you use for modeling? And what program do you use for texturing?

Maybe you should try out using a combo of Photoshop and Zbrush for texturing?

'ave a look at it. I just started using it a few weeks ago, and pretty soon some of my first attempts at enhancing my colouring with it will be rolling out of the gates.

They ussually post these little recipes for there works at the sides, using it in tandem with other progs. ^^

Did u notice theres somthing u never see Zbrush doing? - robots.
Zbrush was designed to model complex organic shapes, that would normally take forever in a standard 3d app, like Max etc...

Painting your textures in photoshop is the norm.

Texture old cliffy and try some global illumination to light your scene.

youd be suprised to see what EA and Epic are doing with Z-Brush. yes. oven on techno/robotic forms. MGS4 is a great example.

I actually found something on the Zbrush-community the other day, regarding creating technological shapes and robots!

I think I'm going to post it, so maybe Impy can give it a quick try, and give his impressions on the tecnique?

I'm too noob-ish to do it myself.

Apparently this here describes the sketch-work concepting and everything, all in Zbrush, in a scene with a girl and a giant robot, looks promising too. I could DEFINITELY see this way of working as something that might be usefull for Impy should he ever get the idea of doing his own comic...

UPDATE: Revised video

a really really really rough and quick animation test for the model. sorry for the quality. I had rendered it through Premiere (an older version) and didn't have any good codecs installed. this is a flash version though..
