Dude that's absolutely awesome! Could you share some photos?

Hello Everyone! I am proud to say that I have finally finished reconstructing and rigging the fire mech. It was a very long, annoying, frustrating, and grueling process, but I was able to get the job done. I am also happy to say that I will be releasing the file for Blender 4.0. Unfortunately, I won't be porting the model to other 3D programs, like Maya, 3DS Max, Source Filmmaker, etc. But, anyone who downloads the rig can port it to whatever program they want, just as long as they credit GLAP23 for the model, and me for the original rig. I don't care what you do with the model, just not any weird stuff, although I don't know how you would do that. If anyone is having trouble importing the model, I will quickly guide you through it. In the main workspace, click on file (located in the top left corner), then click append. Go to whatever folder you downloaded the file to, like downloads, double click on the "Fire Mech" model file, then double click on collections. Once you are in the collections tab, press "A" on your keyboard, then click append. The file might take some time to import, but this can vary due to your computers' hardware. After all of that is done, the file is yours to do with as you choose. Download Link: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1-P-DEQkxZMrd_ugA6yxWxnqmT20jOzNR Have fun everyone! Edit: I would also like to address, on the model, there are no parts with the decals or stickers that are seen in the movies. I can do this, but honestly I don't feel like it. You will also notice that there are no hoses or tubes that are again seen in the movie. I will most likely update these in the future, just not now, as this model has been causing me a lot of stress to finish. But rest assured, I will eventually update the model to have these features, just not yet or currently. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Yeah, it's a very simple process. Although the large tire rim sections on the arms and the technic fork piece were not inside of mecabricks, so I had to import them from studio 2.0 via exporting as a .Dae file, then scaling them appropriately to match the proportions. If you do use mecabricks, you will most likely have to manually add some part since some parts were missing when imported into the program. The most notable one I seemed to find and have were the ball socket bricks. Also, I wouldn't really mess with the scale of the models since they are really bad, and scaling them down messes up their materials for the bricks.

Hey! I think someone might've commented or asked this before, but I just kind of want to see if there's any hope of it coming to fruition. Will You ever remake the chair that Kai's mech sits on in the movie? Don't want to sound like I'm pushing you to do it, just a question. Also, thanks to GLAP23's wonderful and flawless recreations, I've been able to import Kai's Fire Mech into blender and have mostly finished rigging it. Only parts that need work are the hydraulic/piston sections which is going to be frustrating to rig. The arms and legs are IK rigged, and the foot has a pretty advanced rig. I'm thinking of adding an IK/FK switch to both the arms and legs. The parts that are translucent/meant to light up have lights in them to imitate the lights as seen in the movie. I don't know if I'll add the decals for the parts as I'm not that good at materials, and editing and adding the decals onto parts is gonna be complicated. Hopefully this can go good though. Thank you GLAP23. Had to compress the image a lot to get it to the correct file size, that's why it doesn't look good.
