Freedom Gundam: Cockpit 3

Finished most of the controls on the console. Getting through the comm unit above the console and then the HiMAT radar in the center console will be last. After all that I think I'll be able to enclose the cockpit.
The seat that's presently in the cpit is based on the Freedom/Justice design. "Strike Freedom"/"Infinite Justice" apparently use a slightly different seat, though the console seems to remain largely the same.

Freedom Gundam: Cockpit 2

Sat down for a few minutes today on this cockpit. Not much progress. Tons of relative scaling issues and detail to work out but the essence is there. I may figure this out by the weekend if I'm lucky.

Freedom Gundam: Cockpit 1

Starting the cockpit for Freedom/Strike Freedom based on pretty much every last reference I could find... Loads to do still.

Just messing around with lights in the environment.

Freedom Gundam V2: Test Scene

Once the archangel gets done I'll want to make a wings spread kind of scene, probably similar to Seed's episode 35 when it makes it's entery to save the Archangel. Anyway, since I never checked the wings, I thought I'd do it now...

Freedom Gundam V2: Leg Frame

I've gotten a few questions on this... Is it the case that I construct a frame for the Gundams? The answer is yes. For example the leg frame of the Freedom. Damage occurs at some point and the leg will need to come off... It would signal a sort of "half-assed" modelling attempt if it wasnt there after the leg(s) get totalled.

Freedom Gundam V2: Complete-ish

Mostly done. Needs a couple more texture areas that I forgot. I'll start/finish the Archangel before I get another pose I think...

[edit]: I don't really need the Justice Gundam for any of the animations anymore and truthfully, I didn't really like it. Personally I think it got the wrong end of the hardware stick in Gundam Seed -- though I'll admit that the Infine version is quite nice and at least focuses on a particular attack paradigm. Eitherway, enough people are probably building it, so it won't even be a novelty to make for fun...much like it's no longer a novelty to build Freedom (there're so many on the net now).

Freedom Gundam V2: Test Render

The good ol test render. The artifacts are for some errors that I made in setting up the scene. Now for some logos.

Freedom Gundam V2: Blaster 1

Blaster Rifle. I wasn't too bad. Somewhat thinner and longer than the old blaster I made for Freedom .

Freedom Gundam V2: Wings 1

The wings are a bit too sharp. I haven't finished sizing it up correctly either. Just wanted to see where it was...

Freedom Gundam V2: Legs 1

Finally some legs. Took a while to get the calves right, with that line going down diagonally on it. OpenGL makes for some crazy looking errors in modeller that don't show up in the render. I was pleasantly suprised by that.

Freedom Gundam V2: Arms

I was unable to sleep at all. I tried -- Couldn't do it....so I got some arms. The wrists are a bit thick though...

Freedom Gundam V2: Waist 2

A bit of a render... Didn't see it in modeller, but I have to bevel out the booster part of the hip mounted railguns. I can see that the diet plan is working out though ;)

Freedom Gundam V2: Waist 1

Finally! Getting on the waist section for Freedom. Seems like I just keep fiddling with blogger. Cripes, it feels like this gundam is taking longer than I wanted it to.

Freedom Gundam V2: Body 1

Overhauling the body. It should allow for poses to be more hansom looking as the body now takes a more V shaped form rather than the flat pudgy form of the HG type.

Freedom Gundam V2: Head 2

Yikes, the old head was REALLY BAD! The general shape was there, but the face... oh the humanity!
