Ex-S Gundam: Mess around

I still can't believe I was able to get through the entirety of the Ex-S at the time that I did. What with all of the movable parts. This is another one I'd like to revisit someday.

Ex-S: Test 1

For the past few days I've been fiddling around with textures and lighting for testing. The test was full screen and with different settings and a different bake of textures to see if perhaps a frame with a decent amount of detail could be rendered (sufficiently) quickly. In this case the test failed as though the render is OK, the time taken is far too long (15x longer than targeted) and again it's back to the drawing board.

Ex-S: ...everyone else has made one

...but at least it's built. I'm figuring on continuing on and so I'll stop with the textures for now on this.

Ex-S: Legs

The leg boosters are in place as are the INCOM systems on the knee appendage. Have to smooth it out a bit more and fiddle with the angles on the INCOM arms as they look a bit off.

Ex-S: Boosters

Created the boosters in the back when I made the Hummingbird. Of course, the latter has a modified booster which puts a mechanical system in place of the fuel tanks in the booster casing, ultimately aiding in transformation. In this case I just reverted to the booster I created before the Hummingbird's boosters. This means that the fuel tanks are back in place.

Ex-S: Hip Beam Cannons

Knockin them out too. The rotation is a little off but it works for now.

Ex-S: Gun Mount Waist

Moving along swiftly I guess. I think the rotating arm may be a bit too large, but it's gettin there. Since the gun is mounted in the front, the side mounts no longer need to exist.

Ex-S: I-Field Generator

Fitting the I-Field generator on the chest and over the front cockpit. Interesting that it fit so well right off the bat. I figured I would have had to rescale it at least a little.

S-Gundam BST

The start of the booster for the Ex-S, Hummingbird, and the S-Gundam Bst. The hummingbird required more than one type of this booster -- one type for the legs and one type for the arms. The base however is basically the same.

Ex-S Gundam

The end of the start list is here. This one I'm thinking will take me some time. Again, I don't have much time lately to get far, but the heads aren't usually so bad which is why I've "started" quite a few in the last few days. Since I'll have a few to work on at the same time it should be easy to maneuver myself around different models depending on the time I have. This is instead of coming home from work late and thinking "wow, no time today to work on the legs of some machine" or anything like that. Though it spreads me thin, it also keeps it so that I'm always working on SOMETHING. And so, the Ex-S.
The machine on the left (above) is the Ex-S while the right is the not so decked out "S-Gundam". It is a fully modular design capable of transforming from a system of smaller flying machines into the Mobile Suit. By now this concept is nothing new to gundam fans. Probably actually boring.

So the mesh will be able to transform into the above modules. In a future-proof sort of twist I wanted to also get down the S-Gundam BST which is very much like the Hummingbird is to the Zeta Plus.

Finally, at the end of the modeling cycle for the above, I wanted to get the DEEP STRIKER system as well, which is a mobile weapons - hit and run - system very much like the DENDROBIUM ORCHIS or to a lesser extent the HAZEL -RAH 2nd Form

And another head gets the start gun..... This one will take a while I'm sure.
