Mars Excavator 1

Just after Christmas I was tasked with creating 3 original 3D models. A geometric model, an organic model and an environment.

 

I decided to create a Martian mining base with an Excavator and some sort Alien.

 

This is the Excavator in 3DsMax. I started with a box and pushed and pulled around the polys to get that odd chunky shape. I then added in a cylinder and cloned it to get the scaffolding for the blade arm.
