Thought I would have a quick go for a laugh.
Not sure how much time I will get to play with this, so this might even be it, but I hope not as right now it sucks.
I have got it rigged up for the next stage of this competition, the idea is that the main piece rockets up into the air, breaks apart and 6 smaller rockets spread out and take out a mass of targets.
I have lots of plans for PFlow on this, which is kind of why I thought I would try and find some time to have a go.
Anyway here are 2 renders of how far I have got so far, one of the main rocket and one of the individual bits spaced out so you can see more clearly what I am trying to do.

As much as Iron Man does certainly spring to mind, I first remember seeing it in the movie 'Spawn' so that is where the inspiration come from.
We shall see how it goes, besides that, Ragu has this annoying habit of being able to tell you the serial numbers for the bolts used on real world weaponry, so I thought I would go for something that he couldn't

Actuallt the more background you know about what you are working on can only be a good thing.

Looking Good Biro, Cluster-type weapons are my favorite. I'm planning on getting something going for this one too. Animation isn't my strong point, but Ill see what I can do... all providing I get enough time. Can't wait to see more!

Sure do, mainly because I am a crap animater, so I would rather let PFlow do it for me
Unfortunately as I feared, I dont think I am going to get the time to detail this. The joys of living on a farm during Hay bailing season.
All being well I might get a chance to have a go at the 2nd part of the comp, if the rules allow it as I might not really get to finish the first part (whats the ruling on that Ragu?)
If by some minor miracle I do get a chance I will get a bit more done to make it realistic as opposed to the plastic fantastic you see now.

The challenges are 2 seperate parts. The missile will be judged this week, and the animation (whatever your story may be) will be seperate. I chose this incase any late comers wanted to join in then thats fine, as next week the missile wont be judged.
Next week the animation (whatever it chooses to entail) and its adaptation into your storyline will be the key focus of judging. So make sure you get creative, as thats what these challenges are here for.
