Lol just playing around as you can tell by the cheesy photoshop effects applied to it. Will wind up some sort of mech robot or something.

On a second thought though I kinda like the cheesy photoshop effects. I might have to start doing it to all my renders. Certainly beats a plain black background.

I will wind up boolean'ing out the cockpit area adding interior details, and making the actual cockpit glass a seperate model.
This way I can place a low poly pilot in the cockpit and if the render distance will allow place a camera inside to give it that simulator feel.

Where you can look around inside the cockpit.

Cockpit fleshed out a little more using boolean and a lot of hand optimization.

This one is just for fun.

your laptop is full of moisture!

otherwise I can only suggest a good anti-rust to bright up your always rusty textures....

lol yeah I do seem to have a strange fascination with rust. Sort of like the mech that has never been cleaned ever and left out in the weather for a few years. lol.

If it weren't for rust textures, their would have been no Doom or Quake.

Yes, I too have a strange fascination with rusty things... I just enjoy going overboard with photoshops burn effect.

I'm too lazy to burn things in PS. I just have about 6 different patterns that are all rusty. Then I can just add a layer, and blend till I'm satisfied with the rustiness of it all.

When i read gunpod sparrow i thought of a drone ship. Kinda like a predator or a uav.

Well it's really like a light mech with some hover, and ground effect flight capability. A scout if you will.

The hover capability allows it to manuever through rough terrain, and it can reach extremely high speeds in ground effect to escape pretty much any pursuer other than a missle.
