Charger 3K Sculpt
Added 2023-05-05 09:34:04 +0000 UTCI've had the Charger sitting near the front of my renders list for a while now. But as we're so far along with the Kickstarter now, I'm just gonna jump to the Charger 3K variant that will be coming in the Legendary II pack, being piloted by Jeremiah Rose of the Black Thorns.
Initially thinking we'd only get the base Charger, I had it designed with torso door panels to help/imply conversion to missile/ballistics of other variants. When the 3K was conformed this paid off nicely, getting to show them in action. A 3K could be hard to identify on the battlefield aside from the mobility change, until those doors swing open to reveal an LRM20.
You'll notice I'm using a new render setup for this one (similar to the Gold Marauder and Timber Wolf). I intended to stick with the same setup for this whole KS, but I couldn't hold out any longer as this new setup renders faster, making me dread generating these sets less haha.
Feel free to give feedback on this new look. Do you like the added color? Is it more or less legible? Better than the last setup? Should I change up the colors/saturations often like the Golden versions?
I'll probably also drop the moody sky renders to save additional time going forward.
I'm also generally going to put a 1month early access timer on all remaining KS posts and link mark them all. So just wait a bit before reposting :)

Yep the contrast/clarity is technically better here. Wider feedback mostly seems to just not enjoy the color saturation. I like having eye grabbing images, but I understand many will want it neutral.

2023-05-06 09:45:20 +0000 UTCSweet ! Some nice flat areas for decals (time to start practicing to get "popgun" painted on the handheld laser). Personally, I find that the new render gives better contrast/readability.

2023-05-06 05:15:48 +0000 UTCNice Model as always. Not really a fan of the goldish tone.
2023-05-06 02:47:42 +0000 UTCBased on the -1A1 sketch I thought the head would be rounder. Maybe it is, and these angles just show off the boxier accessories? I really like the hidden LRM solution, and the pose is very appropriate. Regarding the render... I think I'd vote for the old gray.

2023-05-05 21:44:16 +0000 UTCGreat stuff. Really love the way the LRM20 was done here, especially since Davion troops were so surprised by it in 3039. Could probably do an AC/20 conversion for the 1A5/SA5 in about 10 min with a couple of spare IWM bits and some green stuff.

2023-05-05 14:35:39 +0000 UTCI don’t love the lighting for this render. I much prefer the grey you used previously.

2023-05-05 14:26:50 +0000 UTCI love this, I was a big fan of the 3050 Charger. I prefer straight greyscale, though, for the renders.
