my robot

[lazz]

So I was reading through the post by Grubber called Mecha. And I was inspired. So I made a robot. I'm still trying to figure out if I like the legs and the feet though. I also can't seem to come up for a name for it. All suggestions and comments are most definitley welcome.

Good to know that my work inspired others

 

Your robot looks interesting. Are You going to animate it?

Please post a wire and different views.

Keep us up to date!

Cool!

Show us some close ups and wire frame renders.

 

I would like to see it animated too!

 

keep up the good work!

[lazz]

Thanks! I'm glad you like it!

 

Here's a new view of it:

...and a wireframe:

 

-also, I'm still trying to find a name for it. I was thinking something out of Greek mythology maybe. Suggestions would be great.

Very nice work, awsome detail. But to add my two bits, I think the cables are a bit high on the mesh. Maybe this is for detail when you come close up, but in my experience detail this small can usually be added with a bump or diffuse map.

Yeah, you were totally right on the amount of mesh I have on the cables, so I changed that by a lot. I've been trying to figure out how to rig it, but I'm having trouble with the elbows. I can't seem to get them to work right. I'd like to have them do something like in the picture when the arms move. If anyone had suggestions on how I can rig it... I'm all ears!

 

Thanks-

Robert

can't help with rig. but I think for cables you can use a single spline for each of cable and render it as line.
