Old Toasters Never Looked Better

Old Toasters Never Looked Better

No tutorial spottings today, just pure eyecandy for Galactica fans and CG lovers. Head straight to Darth Mojo for a showcase of old style Cylons in all their rendered glory. Now, I must admit I prefer modern day centurions (they kinda look spartans instead of roman centurions). The only reason I watched the original Galactica series was because anything with a spaceship appealed my ...

The Avatar AMP Suit

The Avatar AMP Suit

Votoms have been my favourite mech suits since the early nineties, when I modeled one of them using a long time dead software: Imagine....

A favorite of mine: the Cyber Girl

A favorite of mine: the Cyber Girl

It may not be the most accurate 3D model I ever saw, and to be really picky the burned out area under the ear is distracting. But I just love it! The spikey tubes, the subdivision surfaces with just a little bit of the polygonal cage still showing… Being half borg code myself, I can’t deny it has a strange appeal to me. I think the original reference is somewhere between Star Trek’s...
