Pictures of the model
click this picture for the 1024*768 version
Name: Koutetsu Jeeg (Steel Jeeg) Year: 1975 Height: 11 meters but I'm not sure because Jeeg's height change during the anime. Pilot: Hiroshi Shiba Activation: Hiroshi change his shape to become the head of the robot. Miwa shots the other parts of the robot. All the parts join together using magnetic powers. Driving system: Hiroshi is Jeeg. He doesn't need driving gears because his arms are Jeeg arms, his feet are Jeeg's feet and so on. Material: Steel Weapons: Knuckle Bomber (both fists shot at once), Dynamite Punch (flying punch), Spin Storm (fired from the belt), Magnetic Rope (From the chest), Jeeg Beam (fired from the eyes), Jeeg Breaker (crush the enemy by 'hugging' them), electronic boomerang, delta ray, detector ray, Mach Drill, Jeeg bazooka, sky parts, marine parts, super mega drill, Jeeg buckler, h305 Hantares. Vehicle: the Bigshooter Friends: Shiba's family, Miwa Uzuki, Dr Dahiri, Don Oseki and Pancho, Flora. Enemies: (Yamatai Oukoku, Ryuuma Teikoku, Aniwa Genjin, Robotjuu) : Wicked Big Demons Kingdom, Dragons Demon Empire, Haniwa Phantasm Robot Beasts, Queen Himika, Amaso, Mimashi, Ikima and the Dragon Emperor. Notes: Jeeg is my favorite robot. The story is simple but original: Hiroshi is a young boy involved in events bigger than him. He hate his father who was very severe with him, at the beginning he doesn't want to save the world but he will try, just to prove himself that he is a real man.

Technical notes:

Techniques: This robot is very hard to model because it's rounded and human shaped. It has a lot of details too, for example the light green lines on the legs. Another problems was to achieve a good dimension for all the parts. Actually Jeeg it's fat and thin at the same time. What lacks: the other parts. My biggest problems: The head is impossible to model because it changes shape every frame of the Anime. So I had to mix all the different prospective to obtain a good head.

The parts
Jeeg most famous characteristic is that he can change his parts to fight better in every habitat, under the sea, underground, in the sky. He has also a lot of weapons and are all very powerful and original.
	Pansaroid I will not find Pansaroid here. The reason is that Pansaroid has its own page. Look in the list of my robots, you will find Pansaroid's page. Pansaroid is so beautiful that I don't want to put it here between the other weapons of Jeeg.
	Mach drill These parts are the first parts to be used by Jeeg. Using them Jeeg can fly. The red cone can rotate and be used as weapons.
	Super mega drill "Super mega drill" is a set of parts that give Jeeg the ability to drill in the terrain and go in the underworld of Hyamatai Empire. A lot of parts change, legs, arms, and shoulders. I hope you like the usury of the objects. I put all my knowledge in uvmapping to achieve a realistic robot.
	Jeeg Bazooka Powerful weapon. Jeeg use this weapon for the first time in the 5th episode against Ghemara. This weapon is very simple to explain. It's a simple rocket launcher. Ammunitions are unlimited!
	Jeeg buckler This offensive, defensive weapon appear for the first time in the 24th episode against Sodom. The shields roll but they can also be launched. The great mystery is that rolling shields are very big and so it's impossible that they can be stored in the Bigshooter, Go Nagai don't cares about these problems.

Gallery:
	Dvd cover "Koutetsu Jeeg" (04/04/05) This is my attempt to create a cover for a dvd. It's very important to understand that this dvd doesn't exist! It's just an experiment in graphics! So don't ask me to buy this dvd because it doesn't exist. The picture is only 1024*768, the original picture is bigger to improve printing qualities.
	Jig (15/03/04) I found an old drawing I made a few hears ago. I spent a few hours adding colors, reflections, details. This is just a "funny version" of Jeeg of course, but I home you like it the same.
	Build up! (18/05/03) This is a 3d version of one of the most famous scene from the Steel Jeeg Anime. The head of Jeeg is ready to connect to the other parts of the body.
	Jeeg skydome (08/11/02) A simple scene using the global illumination features of Lightwave3d. I hope you like it.
	Jeeg on TV (old work) I was trying to obtain the same kind of noise seen on television when two channels overlay. The model in the picture wasn't completely textured. I use radiosity in Lightwave and Terragen for the Sky. The channel logo is not real of course!
	Jeeg in the Sky! (old work) Note: In this picture you can see Jeeg ready to fight against my Haniwa monster Magmer. Jeeg is using his Mach drills to fly, but in the real episode in which he fights Magma the Mach drills don't exist. Technically speaking in this picture I used radiosity for lighting, Eki Halkka sky, vector blur for motion effects. In Photoshop I added lens flares.
	"La figura vitruviana" (old work) This time my English is not good enough to explain what I want to say about the picture on the left. All I can say is that the original drawing from which I get the idea for my render is a famous Leonardo da Vinci's drawing.
	I'm coming from Hell! (old work) Note:I was playing with volumetric lights and this is the result. It is a simple scene, a plane is the floor, a few polygons to make the columns, a bitmap for the sky and Jeeg. That's all.
	Miwa, Sky parts! (old work) Note: The background is rendered in Terragen, the Bigshooter is almost finished with textures, panels and detail. This picture has been retouched in Photoshop for blurring and rounding edges.
