It's a Bohrok! ...well, almost - Santeri Piippo - 2014-05-20 Thanks to the hard work of very many LDraw parts authors I have here an actual model of a 8564-1 Lehvak. Though, it seems to be missing a little something. The Krana and the Krana holder pieces are still not modeled, and are the last Bohrok parts that are in such a state. Anyone got thoughts on how are we going to get the models for the Krana? The Bionicle masks in general seem like a nightmare to model. Perhaps that awesome 3D scanner of Philo's could get the mesh? It seems to have the design ID 42042, though note: there's 8 variants though Peeron only pictures 5 of them. I still think we should congratulate ourselves, we sure have gotten a lot of parts done! I know the rubber band is also missing though that's because I don't know LSynth-fu. Re: It's a Bohrok! ...well, almost - Philippe Hurbain - 2014-05-20 Agreed, an impressive achievement! Quote:Perhaps that awesome 3D scanner of Philo's could get the mesh?Well, it has been a while I haven't scanned anything so it would be nice to do it again ...but... my Bionicle collection is highly lacking, and I'm afraid I have none of these masks (I'll check). I should have a few parts like this http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=kraata4 from Rahkshi. I must also have a Thok and a bunch of loose parts. Edit: I was overly pessimistic - stay tuned Edit2: teaser: I am not happy with the grainy surface (maybe caused by rubber low reflectivity), I hope to be able to smooth out things... Re: It's a Bohrok! ...well, almost - Santeri Piippo - 2014-05-20 That is so amazing! Definitely looking forward to the result. Re: It's a Bohrok! ...well, almost - Santeri Piippo - 2014-05-21 Meanwhile: This is probably the hardest part I've taken onto modeling yet... Re: It's a Bohrok! ...well, almost - Philippe Hurbain - 2014-05-22 Here is the mesh... I'd be happy if you could complete the work (put the edge lines where needed). Tell me if you need minor shape improvements. Re: It's a Bohrok! ...well, almost - Santeri Piippo - 2014-05-22 Ah, that's very great! Cleaning it up now. I guess I'll model the Krana holder afterwards, then followed by those LDD cleanups.. Re: It's a Bohrok! ...well, almost - Santeri Piippo - 2014-05-22 So I'm cleaning it up and just now noticed this: The one I have at hand doesn't have these recess things..? Are they really on the part you scanned? I'm a bit confused now. Re: It's a Bohrok! ...well, almost - Philippe Hurbain - 2014-05-22 Mmhhh, yes, I have something there but it's not symmetrical and I have another crease in the lower part. imho these are molding problems! I edited out the crease on left ear in the new version (attached). Anyway you'll have to cut in halves... (edit) sorry for the misplacement in thread! Re: It's a Bohrok! ...well, almost - Santeri Piippo - 2014-05-23 Connector rod done. Now to deal with the edgelines...

Re: It's a Bohrok! ...well, almost - Michael Heidemann - 2014-05-24 It is great to see these models nearly finished. Thanks so much for your effort on the Bionicle Technic parts that are very difficult to get right for LDraw. ))))) Re: It's a Bohrok! ...well, almost - Santeri Piippo - 2014-05-25 http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/42042a.dat Re: It's a Bohrok! ...well, almost - Philippe Hurbain - 2014-06-03 A second one... Good luck for cleaning! |
