One good example is this Robot here. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/wXzPg And this old Mari video here at 4min. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chn60uPGBv0
Not cool... I hope things turn around quickly for those affected. Robot Entertainment in Dallas (Plano) is hiring programmers if anyone can pass the word.
If his robotic arms are cylindrical then I think it should work, but you are absolutely right in that flat areas won't work with that effect. Some experimentation is required.
could save alot of polys on the wheels could add in some paint scratches for variation in the texture apart from that the robot has good form and proportians :)
Fancy freaking bot that one. Stole your previous sentences in an attempt of seeming human. Soon the robots will take over the world along with polycount T_T
