Description

This is a texturing project for the Macross Battroid, the VF-1S Skull 1. It's someone else's model, I created the textures—the badging and decals, and the stripes and panel lines, some details in the head. They are meant to be un-aged and pristine. The very old gunpod rifle model is from a separate package.

There’s probably a Poser node-based way that I don’t know about to get rid of the AO artifacts where displacement is used. Don’t ask me how the Battroids managed to step over those power lines.

Rendered in Poser 2010 Pro, z-depth added with Photoshop.  Model by Mechmaster and spanki.  It was available here www.sharecg.com/v/49933/browse…, but was removed for some reason.

Now after 40+ years and finally getting a fresh look at these "bots", I really do not see how they could function or be practical in war. Feel the same way about the constitution class from Star Trek. Those necelles just look flimsy like they could break off at any time. Good art tho.
