AUSTRALIAN HERE - if you want to save cash, i recommend build your own desktop. if you have around 1.5k, you can go for a cheaper custom build laptop. for me i studied with a laptop priced around $1700 for 4 years, but i'm lucky enough to have had a really great paying part time job to fund my studies. i know everyone is…
@FinnIsengardt, My hat's off to you, sir. I think that your take on the robot is a bit more thought out then mine, and certainly does a better job following the proportions laid out in the concept art. Certainly I can appreciate the extra time you took to model in some of the camera details and lens interior (in all…
Zipfinator: Thanks man! PogoP: Thank you! gonna call this one done, thanks for everyone for good crits and comments! they really helped!
