lazz Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 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. -Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazz Posted March 22, 2004 Author Share Posted March 22, 2004 ...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. -robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy neutron Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 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.

lazz Posted March 25, 2004 Author Share Posted March 25, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grubber Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
