Mechwarrior 2 was was a very popular game for the PC back in the mid 90's. According to Wikipedia, Sales of MechWarrior 2 surpassed 500,000 copies within three months of release.
This game holds a sentimental value for me as it was the first game I ever played on my very first computer. It was state of the art for the times, and was once considered one of the best simulators.
For this project in Maya, we are going to take a crack at recreating one of the most popular mech's used in the series, the Timber Wolf. Not only will we recreate this legend using Maya, but we will also animate our mech's walking, and bring them into the Unity game engine so they can be controlled and used for game play!

Final Mech Cleanup!
Final Mech Cleanup!
In this lesson we are going to clean up our Mech Geometry and finalize our Mechs to get them ready for rigging.
Remember, all geometry needs to be cleaned up!
All history should be deleted, transforms should be frozen (zero'd out), and all pivots should be centered!
