Description
Do you remember Robotech? I loved that show as a kid. I found these awesome models at Vanishing Point, and I had already modelled a YF-19 Veritech, and this is the end result.
6 Days in total with alot of postwork, which is unusual for me.
Interesting note about this image, the camera is set to 5'6" off the ground, the mechs are scaled to there real-world equivilant size, so this is practically what is "would" look like if you were standing near these behemoths

The Veritech looks awesome, and yeah I remember Robotech! Damn, your missles firing and the explosions are cool, plus the POV rocks.
Xcellent conceptual design modeling!
Sweet render you got here, love the POV and missile Fx. Nice work for sure!!
I bought the whole series last month and worked my way through it all. Great stuff (well, there was far too much of the whole relationship thing in Macros - not to mention singing. But they did have the best bots!). Great pic, with really good composition - a real sense of the action in there. Nice to know I'm not the only one with a little nostalgia.
Wonderful mech... I was a great fan of Robotech Toons... excellent, 5+++++!
Impressive visual scopr and sense of power in this finally made tribute to a well remembered SciFi genre. . . Excellent art creation!!
This is a bit of a different offering from the rest of your gallery, but the quality level is definitely all you. I don't know if you did the smoke in post or in-render, but it came out really cool. Great job on the textures, especially some of the finer details you added that most people would neglect (like the distressed textures), and the POV is both unusual and interesting.
The show was good, the books were AWESOME. Great pic. ^_^
This turned out really good!!!! Very interesting point of view!
Awsome job man, I think you did us big robot geeks proud lol. You really did take this image a long way from your first render to the end, definately something you should be proud of. Thanks for the memories! heh. Scott
A fantastic created SF work with this real splendid looking POV! Wonderfully done!!!
Very well done. I do remeber Robotech, fondly if the avatar didn't give a clue ;)
Yes! Finally, more Robotech images! As mentioned, great POV (and nice weathering job!) on the Destroids in the foreground. I'd almost like to see contrails or evidence of jet exhaust on the VF-19s to go along with your missile trails. Hope you do a render with a closer view of the 19s sometime. Nice work.
Awesome
