Robotic Mech Colour Tests

This post will be a brief view at colour schemes that I  have tested and painted over on the MBT variant of the Robotic Mechs.

The process that this method took was pretty simple. First, I applied a few block materials of colour in 3DS Max, based off of the colour schemes I had tested and created previously, as well as some new reference material from the internet. I would then render the model out, and put it into Photoshop. I would then paint on any patters/additional colours through a soft light filter. With this done, I then added the company logo, signature, borders etc. and saved out the images as jpegs. 

Below shows you each colour scheme, and any source inspiration images that I used for reference.

A lot of the references used where taken from the the original colour scheme tests that I made. I didn't use all of the colour schemes, as there were a few that I didn't quite like. For the others I found general reference found on Google images, which I implemented into some of the above designs.

Leopard tank reference

Renault FT17 camo reference

General camo reference. 

With this stage done, I now have a better idea of how the textures will work together on the model. Theres a few which I don't like, mainly due to the patterning or the bland look it gives, but i'm happy with the majority, and am looking forward to implementing them onto the 3D model. 

The next update will continue to look at the unwrapping process.
