Mars EVA Mech Suit

Mars EVA (Extravehicular Activity) exoskeleton mech suit - a personal design project to help discover the basics of 3D modelling and texturing.

Self-initiated Project
Categories: 3D Art, 3D Modelling
Stephen sketched out initial hand drawn concepts for the EVA mech suit, intended for use in Martian mining, and then translated these drawings into a 3D model. All textures were created in Photoshop then mapped onto the model using Alias Sketch, an early piece of 3D modelling and rendering software for the Macintosh.

3D Modelling: Stephen Franklin
Textures: Stephen Franklin
