Description
These are a bunch of not-yet-finished Matoran models I made in Blender for a possible future project.From left to right: Nuparu, Taipu, Kopeke, Onepu and a random Ga-Matoran.

That looks so lifelike, since that is why this picture is so excellently awesome 
12/10 for detail, design, colour, and modelling 
The Matoran 2001 models should've been used in the first Bionicle movie (Mask of Light), since it would've tied together all of the sets from the first two years, with the current generation of 2003.
Keep up the awesome effort

This is a great use of Maya or a program like that. They all look like they were in the movie. Is the one to the one next to Nuparu Hafu or Tapiu? Just asking because their masks are usually switched.

Taipu. He is wearing a Pakari, but I incorporated some elements of the Ruru into his mask design, so that he'd look closer to how he appeared in the online game where these masks got mixed up.

The Ga-Matoran is that one sailor who tells Hahli to go to these coordinates to train in speed from a shark.

Say, I've seen someone post video's on Youtube with these style of characters. Are you that same guy?

Sir and or madam this is beyond beautiful and I commend you and furthernon the matter keep up this beautiful rendering maybe you could do le matoran next

Since when did the kanohi pakari get so popular?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Since both Onua and Takua wore it I guess.

And 98% of the background Matoran in the MNOG.

Please put your incredible video here as a deviation! (About this, maybe the mouth for the Kakama should just be a little higher?)

that Ga-Matoran should be this one biosector01.com/wiki/index.php…

They look amazing, the 3 Matoran with the Pakari look great but the mask is way to annoying and the Random Ga-Matoran that I guess is Kai (biosector01.com/wiki/index.php… mask look really creepy. Hope you make some more Matoran later on with different mask and not that annoying Pakari.

I wonder why the matoran in the movie didn't look like this. These loom much closer to the actual toys they were based on

Oh wow these look fantastic so far! There's so much expression visible in all of these and clear personalities. I can see some of the subtle variations happening in the masks already, but I think you could possibly push them a wee bit more, like fitting the masks to different facial archetypes, i.e. rounder, blockier, taller, narrower etc. And yeah the textures appear to be quite polished and reflective; I just think you should keep the reflectiveness minimal and just let the textures and bump maps do more of the talking. Once the characters start moving, there's less necessity to focus on the notability of materials; best to work with subtlety than really exaggerate it.
But fantastic effort so far! It's great seeing you develop these 3D models step by step and your progress!

You think you could put this in Source filmmaker?

I think it would be theoretically possible.

Would you consider, a lot of people can make some great things. Like the talented Callegos Yavolitak , he's a Bonkle fan too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I would, but I doubt it would be possible on my banged-up PC. But I can put the models up for download so that other people could try and convert them.

I like that you managed to make the legs match the arms without it all being crap. The color distribution is a tad busy, but still pretty good. For example, I like that you added more orange to Nuparu's body, but concentrated it near his head, instead spreading it around and adding it to his knees or fingers or something like I would've. He fittingly looks like a lit match in a dark cave.

A bit too shiny and like the movie for my taste, but apart from that amazing! Love these. (also Taipu is best tohunga!)

Nice work! This is impressive.
But they kind of look like they're made of clay.

This is amazing. I just feel so emberassed of my own Bionicle depictions.
It's a bit odd to see their arms bend like that, but I can't see any overlaps. As a side note to the glossiness, maybe if you added some texture (like some material stuff- oh wait, I'll just write this in hun.....
Szóval lehet, hogy ha valamilyen anyag textúrát rádobnál a színre az javítana rajta. Plusz egy kis bump a textúrára. Nem tudom hogy mennyire műanyagosra, vagy fémszerűre akarod csinálni, de nekem eddig nagyon tetszik. Bár lehet, hogy ezeket már mind megcsináltad. XD Blenderrel még nem dolgoztam.
És tényleg nagyon faszányos.

Kösz! Főleg fémszerű kinézetre törekedtem, festett, itt-ott lepattogzott felületűre. A Ga-Matoranon és Onepu néhány részén az "élek" mentén látszik némi csupasz, szürke fémtextúra, amit a többire még nem vittem fel. De hibák is vannak, pl. elfelejtettem a szürke részeken átállítani a fényvisszaverődés színét.
Meg persze el kell még játszadozni a kopások színével, mert ami pl. a kéken jól mutat, az a narancson már nem. Szóval némelyikük talán nem csak kopott, hanem rozsdás is lesz. A szemükkel is vannak gondok, mert nem tudom úgy megcsinálni, hogy a "pupilla" ne deformálódjon a teljes szemmel együtt, de ezt a kompromisszumot meg kell kötni. A Blender ezt tudja.

Milyen csontja van a szemeknek? Lehet, hogy tudok adni egy tippet.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
A felépítés a következő: a pupilla csak egy kör alakú textúra a szemen, a szem többi része átlátszóra van állítva. A szemet egy rács deformálja, és a rács shape key-vel igazodik a maszkon lévő szemnyílások alakjához. A szemnyílásokat szintén shape key-k mozgatják, és a szem és a maszk shape key-jeit egy közös csont mozgatja, hogy összhangban legyenek. Egy további csont van a szemek középpontjában, ami körül forognak.
Nem tudom, ez követhető-e, de mindegy, mert a gubancot csak az okozza, hogy a pupilla a deformált szem textúrája. A szemnek deformálódnia kell, hogy ne legyen rés a szem és a maszklyukak között, és ez a textúrára is kihat. Még nem találtam módot arra, hogy ezt kiküszöböljem. Próbáltam különvenni a pupillát a szemtől, de akkor meg túlságosan kilógott a szemnyílásból.

Just some advice, but I think you should fix the Kakama mask. It looks a little too much like the Ruru but with some stuff slapped on it to make it the kakama. Other than that, awesome sauce.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have one question about that. How did you manage to get the impression the Kakama mask on this looks like Ruru?
:3 Honestly, I must know
As for my opinion on this: Absolutely wow Vrahno
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm thinking of the Nobile Ruru Turaga Whenua's Ruru basically. Its mostly to do with the shaping of the top of the head. I think it's a bit too round where as the Kakama has a roundish sides, its overall more angular. The top of the head and the middle part of the face are more angular so since its all a bit more roundish it looks closer to the Ruru in my opinion.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I understand where you are coming and had a look.
The shaping of the two actual masks are very close to exact around the top.
However, comparing the Kakama mask to this, it does seem a little squashed around the sides.
So its a nice point there

THAT IS EXACTLY HOW I IMAGINED NUPARU TO LOOK
I'm pretending the Ga-Matoran is Kai for some reason...
(She wears a Kakama)

Wow, they look incredible! They look like they came straight out of the movies!

Well, as a tohunga it's Hafu who got the Pakari...
But nevermind, it's simply awsome.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hafu only had a Pakari in the MNOG and the online videos. But his set came with a Ruru, and in reality, Taipu wore the Pakari. The creators of the game and the animations just got them mixed up.

Oh, ok, that explain why they have exchanged it in MNOG II.
Thanks for the information.

sorry for the spam, but didnt taipu wear a different mask?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Only in the online game and the Flash animations. That's because the people who made those accidentally mixed up the masks for a bunch of characters.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
a bunch of? can you give me other examples? sounds interesting.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Taipu and Hafu are the most obvious, but Kapura also has a Pakari in the game, even though on the old promo images, he has a Ruru. The Tarakava also wore a Ruru in most shots. Don't recall any more than that off the top of my head.
The game developers evidently struggled a lot with the Pakaris and Rurus.
