Completely off topic but OMG, I've been trying to remember what that show was called for YEARS but nobody I asked knew. Zoids! What an odd name, no wonder I couldn't remember it. So thanks, another mystery solved

The most popular ones were the first two/three. Chaotic Century/Guardian Force and New Century Zero

I remember building some saber toothed Zoid that walked. My favorite was still my little raptor Zoid made up of those interchangeable parts I'm working on a jack-o-lantern piece now. Should also be seeing some 3D candy soon too.

There are, like, 50,000 zoids with saber teeth
I don't know what little raptor zoid has interchangeable parts... like the guns? If so...there are a ton of raptor zoids too XD

Nonono there was this whole series of these toys, they are made up of parts with ball and sockets on them so that they can be posed and taken apart and made in to new zoids.

EDIT:

I think those might've been the BLOX zoids... I dunno.

Hey man! You're really doing some good stuff here!
Personally I use Maya2011(Student Version) and am quite envious of how fast you picked up Blender!
It's a great program to know how to use since it's FREE!! I can not do any commercial work with Maya until I buy it.
Anyways keep up the great work! And just for the sake of it, here's something I'm working on:

Looks awesome! Is it just that one piece or are you planning an animation?

I've been using the student version of Maya 2012. I have to say, besides not being able to publish anything, the most annoying thing is when it decides to turn the camera upside-down when I tell it to turn on the block.

It's an animation
Will definitely post it on LBPC when it's done

I'm doing my second model in Blender, so far so good, but unwrapping it is so tedious. :P

Do you guys use a different method for texturing it?

I used 3DS Max's powerful UVW Wrap tool, followed by the Unwrap UVW modifier. I can then use the resulting unwrap to pack all of the model's UVs into a template. I then draw my textures on this template and apply them to the model.

I see.

Also, looking back, I probably should have just used the extrude feature a bit more, instead of just using a bunch of different entities. Cuz now I got a bunch of unorganizes UVs and it is a pain. Good mental note for the next one I guess.
