agep Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Hi my friends I have been working on Atmel's AVR robots in 3D. Atmel is a developer and manufacturer of microcontrollers, advanced logic, NVRAM and RF Components. The robots are all based on designs made by Svein Erik Hokstad. There is still some tweaking and texturing to do. AVR TOOLS The AVR Tools range encompasses all categories of tools that you need, from venturing on to your first experiments with the AVR, through debugging and finalizing advanced projects. Starter kits, debuggers, evaluation kits, programmers, reference designs and other tools are categorically organized according to our "norse myTOOLogy" GJALLARHORN // EVALUATION KITS Gjallarhorn originally had the specific task of sounding an alarm when intruders threatened the realm, and his warning signal resounded in the darkest corners of the universe. Now a herald of all things good and new, he is a preferred advisor for anyone venturing into new territory: The wisdom and simplicity of Gjallarhorn’s example helps many see their path clearly. ODIN // STARTERKITS From the very beginning, or even before, there was Odin. With his brilliant intuition and the ability to see complex patterns clearly, nothings escapes his Eye. Odin has knowledge of all things passed, and his far-travelling helpers Hugin and Munin help him see what is about to come. Odin is the first and the last, he who initiates and brings to end. He is the inspiration to all others. BIFROST // PROGRAMMERS Carrying the rainbow’s name, Bifrost bridges the realms of men and machines. On Bifrost’s heavenly wide band, big or small messages are transformed into swirling malstroms of bits and bytes, and carried on to their right destination. Bifrost is a master of communication. THOR // DEBUGGERS Created by Odin, Thor is the most powerful of all: A fierce, mighty warrior fighting error, malfunction and disorder! With superior powers, he most willingly swings his magic hammer and always hits his target. The God of Thunder doesn’t need to strike twice. VALHALL // SPECIALS Valhall is where all the chosen ones are gathered. Those who are worthy, and belong nowhere else, come here. Valhall represents multitude and diversity, but there is one common mantra for all: Be the best at what you do best. SKIBLADNER // REFERENCE DESIGNS Originally constructed as a means of transport for the others, Skibladner quickly developed the skill to convey ideas into reality. He can travel in air, under water, through time and space, and the ingenuity of his own design is such that he can be folded like a cloth and carried by one of the others. The manifest of clever engineering that he is, Skibladner sees no reason to re-invent the wheel, but bases his craft on well-proven concepts. Quote
Xtaz Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Hi Stian ... they are amazing ... all of the effects are convincing except for the rainbow. are they full rigged ?? tsm2 ? squetch ? own ? I already have my favorite one, the Thor more 6 masterpieces Quote
Admin Rodney Posted October 23, 2008 Admin Posted October 23, 2008 Wow. Just wow. I think they are great. How can I not think those are some of the coolest characters to come along in a very long time. This also explains what you've been up to these days! (The contest entry with Thor being a supreme clue) Very interesting story ideas/character traits. Quote
KenH Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Pretty cool Stian! Some of the designs look a little odd, but as usual, the modelling in is impeccable. Yeah, I think Thor is also my favourite. I especially like the wear in the texture. The fire effects are great too.....can't wait to see them animated. The rainbow doesn't seem to blend in to the scene as much. Maybe their too saturated. Also, I'm not sure about the red area on the birds. So, is this a paying gig? Or another personal project? I'd never heard of the company before now. Quote
agep Posted October 23, 2008 Author Posted October 23, 2008 Thank you so much guys! Thor is my personal favorite too:) So, is this a paying gig? Or another personal project?I got hired by Atmel this summer. Having a great time! I'd never heard of the company before now.Many of your everyday electronical devices do most likely have a microcontroller (small "CPU") from Atmel Quote
KenH Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 I got hired by Atmel this summer. Having a great time! Wow. And you're using AM! Inspiring. Quote
Paul Forwood Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Nice work, Stian, and congratulation for landing the job at Atmel! the ingenuity of his own design is such that he can be folded like a cloth and carried by one of the others. Lots of rigging fun! ;-) Quote
agep Posted October 24, 2008 Author Posted October 24, 2008 Thanks Ken and Paul are they full rigged ?? tsm2 ? squetch ? own ?Sorry, forgot to answer this. Yes they are fully rigged, I have used the 2001 rig Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted October 24, 2008 Hash Fellow Posted October 24, 2008 Looks great! I think the problem with the rainbow is the edges are too sharp. If it was fuzzier if might have a more glowing appearance. Quote
agep Posted October 24, 2008 Author Posted October 24, 2008 Thank you for pointing out the rainbow. I have played some with alpha in the texture. Hope it looks better than before:) Quote
Xtaz Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Much better Stian ... but the contact with the ground is very sharpened yet, if you follow the example proposed by Robert, the effect will be better Quote
animation man hi Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 do you think you can give the models for download. Quote
KenH Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 but the contact with the ground is very sharpened yet, if you follow the example proposed by Robert, the effect will be better It looks like it's breaking into the ground like a weapon. Maybe that's the intended effect. do you think you can give the models for download. Quote
cronos Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 really nice , how make your background image ??? is (HDRI) Quote
frosteternal Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 Thank you for pointing out the rainbow. I have played some with alpha in the texture. Hope it looks better than before:) The rainbow looks fine, although it would be more convincing if it had ambience to itself; it needs to glow. I love the character designs! Quote
agep Posted October 25, 2008 Author Posted October 25, 2008 do you think you can give the models for download.Unfortunatly no. They are work related how make your background image ??? is (HDRI)Yes. It is HDRI from Dosch Design Quote
John Bigboote Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 Aw, C'mon, Stian...give us the models! GREAT work! I am very happy to hear you found a worthy employer that can make use of your abilities, I just wish I was in a better position to have hired you...SHUX! On the rainbow effect... it looks better softer...maybe add some prismatic light-effects to the ground...? Quote
