Description:

I made this exosuit for the military vehicle contest. The idea behind this was to wildly build upon the already in existence exoskeleton(s). I hope this is not too sci-fi for the competition :)

The model has a simple IK-rig that covers the most common movements, might require some tweaking to get it perfect, but overall it works fine.

All textures are 100% hand painted.

Unfortunately I had to reduce the texture sizes massively in order to avoid uploading a 400mb file. Be ware of many many small files.

Feel free to use it for whatever you want.

The scene is separated in to the model itself with a background plane on one layer, rig on another and the quick environment on another.

Also this is my first blendswap model! Yay! Would be awesome if someone found a good use for it :) Stay tuned for more blends!

Man, this is top notch!

The rig needs a lot of work but the design and modeling is great!

Thanks a lot for sharing! :D

Did you texture paint this in Blender or use another program?

Thanks for the encouraging comments, appreciated :)

I used photoshop for the texture painting. I've only used blender texture paint to get rid of seams which is something I'm planning on doing for this one as well when I find the time.

Sorry for the late reply, been busy :)

@Blaine Heiser: I did the armor plating by simply doing the flat pieces and then extruding along the normals and after that I did some re-arranging to get the shape I wanted. I haven't really used the solidify modifier since for example in this case I find it much faster to just extrude than go through the menus and add & apply the modifier.

@RNS, I can't say much about the render times. It is rather long yes, so if you find something I've missed please let me know :)

Here's a promo animation I've just put together with this model. Hope you don't mind the subtle changes I made to the textures and model :)
