Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted August 5, 2011 Hash Fellow Posted August 5, 2011 I think I like this take on the body shape a bit more. Still needs some more development. eggbot.mov eggbot.mp4 Quote

Admin Rodney Posted August 6, 2011 Admin Posted August 6, 2011 Robert... Three for three! (amazingly cute) ...and may I just say, a particularly great example of the rule of repetition augmented by the rule of threes. Three for three for three for three. Quote

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted August 9, 2011 Author Hash Fellow Posted August 9, 2011 Anyone got ideas for what the other joints are? Something "mech" but cute and easy enough to use for teaching a beginner modeling skill. I could do rubber accordian joints again for the hips and ankles but maybe there are other possibilities? I've considered doing a standard hinge joint for the ankle. The hips are a bit more mysterious. Quote
largento Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 I think the eggbot character is great, Robert. A great way to focus just on leg and hip movements. Quote
itsjustme Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 The hips are a bit more mysterious. Ball and socket? Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted May 6, 2012 Author Hash Fellow Posted May 6, 2012 My goal is to be able to model, rig, texture and animate this in ten minutes. I'm not there yet but it possibly can be done. Quote

Admin Rodney Posted June 14, 2024 Admin Posted June 14, 2024 Over the years since this Eggbot was first posted (2011!) I've sketched a number of characters surely inspired by this model. Here's a 3 drawing animation (cheated a little via scaling vertically) I doodled today. (Seeing it animated definitely allows us to see where we could exaggerate and emphasize more and get some additional follow through and overlap) In case it's not obvious... the character in the robo-legs is a chicken.

Admin Rodney Posted January 2 Admin Posted January 2 I have a lot of sketchbooks and one thing I can recommend to those that do draw in sketchbooks is to find a way to identify what content is contained in them so that content can more easily be found. This assuming of course that the content isn't random. I have tried over the years to have each sketchbook be a general theme or story concept. All this to say, I found some doodles inspired by Robert's Eggbots. Not the one's I thought I might find but some related to my chicken driven egg bots as well as other random egg bot posing. I create a couple flipbook style animations of egg bots as my tiny sketchbooks are good for that kind of thing. Those are a little harder to scan into the computer though. 1 Quote
Admin Rodney Posted January 2 Admin Posted January 2 I've added a MP4 version of the eggbot video to Robert's first post. Note: FFMPEG immediately converted the file. Very quick just using "ffmpeg -i eggbot.mov eggbot.mp4" We really need to get ffmpeg set up for all Animation:Master users. Quote
Admin Rodney Posted January 2 Admin Posted January 2 Couldn't resist creating a simple bot in A:M and throwing in a simple rig. Colored in black just as a silhouetting approach. Project file attached. Note the cheat of copying the body for use as the feet. Resisted adding jet thrusters for the moment. botfly.prj Quote
