Tutorial Mech

3D VIEWER

A mech built by following a tutorial end to end, for the modeling moves rather than the model.

Overview

Following a build to learn the moves

My end result from doing the Mech portion of the Blender Bros HSA Course. I reversed the direction of the lower legs and incorporated a ball turret model I made from a previous tutorial.
This was the first Blender course I'd spent money on. While the course wasn't without its flaws it served its purpose in allowing me to use a bunch of tools and plugins to get more practice. So with the discount I had it was worth the price of admission.

A head-on shot of the ball-turret I modeled following a YouTube video earlier in the year. I modeled some attachment components to anchor the ball-turret to the front of the mech and adjusted the colors to match.

Outcome

Where it is now

This finished model is available to explore via the 3D viewer below. For now I don't have any further plans to add more to it since it was mainly tool and plugin practice. When I start getting more into materials and texturing it's certainly a good candidate to revisit and add more visual polish. Same goes for the possibility of it getting rigged and animated.
