Looks like a fun project - it's starting to come together well now!

- Michael

Hi all

Yes it is a fun project, i use to own that model. The only thing i have now is the blueprint to build it :).

Another Moi preview.

Since i am doing simple, you can see that the most part are easy to do with the boolean operator, with the extrude, Loft and sweep.

(removed an older picture)

Plus another Render from C4D.

Beef the light and set ambient light. When model finished i will take time for the texturing.

I love it! Great inspiration!

I was just telling the wifey the other day that when I was a kidd, we didn't have all the stuff kids have now - I had a Billy Blastoff which was basically an boy in an astronaut suit with a gear sticking out his butt :-P

When you sat him down in the various vehicles, the gear would of course turn the wheels and off he went - you don't see innovation like that in kids toys these days! LOL! :-D
(Just kidding of course...)

Make this easier on yourselves!

My son has been playing with this a lot recently.

Where would be the fun of making it easier, better to follow and learn with Moi 3D.

I do have it installed on my computer to check it out but i prefer my way, that way i use moi and better myself.

HI all.

Another update. I have check the model, i have small correction to do but i can do them in the end.

Yeah, me again with another update.

Hello everybody....
Very nice work!
I would like to point out that there is also leocad http://leocad.org/
After building you also have an export option.

Great stuff. Very nice work. Looking forward to the completed model.

Hi,

Yes i will complete the work, i am also redoing some parts.

I am also at the same time working on Studio to do some nice rendering.

Thank you for the feedback.

Hi again,

Something old and decided it is time to redo it, some part I didn't like and today I take time now to play more with my 3D software.

Modeling in Moi / rendering in Cinema 4D





the only thing I am not certain is how much I will do on the model for skin like (modeling) or it will be textures.

Funny i just finished in the real word the "Villa Savoye" by Le Corbusier in Lego! :)
Something like 450 little block! :)

Wow you got patience then.

Small update

Another Update.

Started to add my own detail on the model.

Another Update.

Changed the leg detail and added more to the legs.



By the way Michael, I love the way Moi is quick. I work on it this model when I am at lunch at my work, usually an hour. I work on a Ultrabook Core i7 (only 2 core/4 thread) with 8 gig, when I find it starting to be a little slow, I copy/paste into a new moi instance, work the part and copied back to the main model. But this work flawlessly.

I know my model need to be optimize, but I need to get each part done to get an option in my rendering where I get the option to choose Cell, that will outline the parts, that is the way the render is making a feel like each part can be seen like that. But I have to optimize, too much objects in the scene.

Just to let you know at the moment the V3 beta, latest work pretty good for me, no problem at the moment. Anyway on the Boolean, cut and chamfer :).

Hi Denis, it's coming together really well! That's really cool that MoI is quick enough for you to get stuff done during lunch time!

This is an update on optimizing the number of objects in the model.

Plus added and corrected details.
