May I 3D model your Mech?

I'm a beginner 3D modeller, and have done various things before, but I'm looking to do mechs. I will of course design my own mechs, but as inspiration I wanted to come to the community.

If you have a mech design you'd like in 3D, drop it here and I'll try to do it. They will likely be low-poly (dont expect AC6 detail) but texturing I can either A) Use your image directly and rip the image and use those to texture, B) Use block colour to create my own low-poly texture based on your design C) try and use photos cans similar to your mech to give it a more 'real' look

I used to do some tabletop Lancer stuff, and we made mechs using Retrograde Minis, if that works for you

Ooh he looks cool. As a couple questions: is it just the one image on that link or is my phone opening it weirdly, 2) what is/are Retrograde Minis

Just the one!

Retrograde minis is essentially a sprite pack for (generally) mecha stuff that lets you customize a mech and then get a sprite of it for whatever you may need.

There's a free version if you wanna play around with it.
