R.A.T 17

Final Submission to the Competition

I will be presenting a main presentation followed by some different angles and poses.  and finally a scene I built to showcase the model, let me assure everyone that all the models in the scene where built by me as the rules stipulates.

I have modelled the main Character in blender with some sculpting in ZBrush, Texturing all the models in Substance Painter, lighting, staging and rendering them in Substance Stager. After that some minor work in Photoshop and Illustrator to get the text and logo's on the images.

I want to say A huge thank you to Rookies for holding this competition, I've had so much fun taking part in it and I have really pushed myself to try things I'm not used to doing and by doing so I've learned so much. 

Thank You!

Anyhow! Here is my Submission to the competition I hope you will enjoy it!

Below is my official submission for the competition

Some different angles and poses.

The Scene

A scene render showcasing my rats with some storytelling about the robots.

The Sweetest Little Boys!

And Finally a small tribute the little guys who inspired me to make this. 

After some experimenting in creating different materials I finally settles on these materials to texture my robot

Playing around, testing different Poses, Some may be used some not :)

So now we Have The Robot Uv'd, Rigged and Ready to Pose and Texture!

After Some soul searching, I decided the old rat design wasn't mechanically functional enough. The last couple of days I spent trying out different new designs, and after blocking out this beauty I decided to run with it.
Keep in mind this is just a blockout, only the head and torso have some work but the rest is coming soon. 

Finalizing the details in the geometry in the R.A.T

FInalizing the UV's, Slamming them across a bunch of UDIMs just to ensure high detail in the texturing.

Finishing of the plates and sculpting some extra detail in the face

Next steps, where to start subdividing and sculpting to get the right shape, after that, I started to extract some plates from the main body shape that will later make up the armor plating and then continuing to sculpt details on the plate mesh, experementing with different looks to see what works, Also sculpting the ears and attaching them to the mesh.

Next Step after that where to start work on the feet, starting with a simple shape and some hard surface moddeling techniques and then finishing off with a few modifiers and finally some minor sculpting adjustments.

It's going to be a Rat-robot, I'm shite at concept drawing so I go straight to finding a reference and start to block out a basic shape.
