ddustin Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Here's a revision to my original model. My goal is to make it as realistic as posible. Still haven't colored the casting yellow. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starwarsguy Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Good job so far! What does that thing do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddustin Posted November 19, 2004 Author Share Posted November 19, 2004 It's a very large industrial robot. They're used for moving heavy objects. It can easily move 350 lbs. The thing stands about 8 feet tall. Used in the automotive industry a lot. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pleavens Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 So do you have blueprints to work from, or are you interpreting this as much as possible from existing photos? Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottj3d Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 It looks very photorealistic to me. Nice modelling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddustin Posted November 20, 2004 Author Share Posted November 20, 2004 So do you have blueprints to work from, or are you interpreting this as much as possible from existing photos? Phil, I was given a replica from the sales rep (I used animation to sell a few of these bad boys). I took the replica apart, took digital photos of the pieces, then made rotoscopes from the images. Of course I have the parts in my hands so I can verify. I probably should have noted, my wip model is the one on the right. The image on the left is off the web site. I wish I was that good!

Sacman Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Ha! Just realized what you were building. We have a Fanuc Robot where I work. It uses a piece of stainless heated with a welder to 'hot-wire' cut foam for the Saturn Vue SUV. Too cool. Wade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddustin Posted November 22, 2004 Author Share Posted November 22, 2004 My original model (my avatar is the original model) was vague, so I decided to redo it. It's going to take me a while. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
