Progress Update - Been working on defining the main shapes. I'm happy with the pose and silhouette, but I want to add more damage to his body to show the metal framework beneath because it's the most interesting part. I'll experiment with an entire robotic arm next, as well as continuing to experiment with his facial…
http://www.image-metrics.com/ Image Metrics does some amazing facial animation, but they're serviced based and EXPENSIVE. But holy balls can they produce amazing stuff. http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/index?siteID=123112&id=13571400 Facial Robot will be included in the next version of XSI. It's a DIY facial mocap…
Could you elaborate on 'your mouse getting huge'? I'm presuming you don't mean that literally, because if you do, Polycount probably isn't the place to be asking that question ;p I didn't realise you had animation in mind, I'm not really qualified to give you a good answer as my experience with rigging/animation is…
Thanks for the suggestions! We manege to fix it by re-skinning the models again, which wasn't much of a hassle due to the character being a robot. there were some early problems with the same elements having different IDs at first but its all history now. Thanks again guys it think this is the second thread you help me out…
hehe, actually I thought of that idea! thanks, but you helped me more with the idea of giving the guy a more 'naked-rat' look... And I also got rid of the robot arm, I think this looks more like someone was really trying to modify his limbs and interiors! So, two tests, with and without white fur. And I still would love to…
Great idea for a thread! As a rigger I always have trouble finding good models to work with. I just spent the last few days working on a rig for eddie10sixty6's awesome Robot Engineer. Thought I would keep up with the trend and share it back to the community. Here's a link to the download:…
Thank you both. I'll plan on starting a WIP thread or posting in the "what are you working on" thread with that Russian water plane I started on my blog. I'd like to finish that up next and it'd be good to get some crits along the way. The robot in my first post is incomplete too and I'm always open to being told what…
"Alpha, Rita's escaped. Recruit teenages with ATTITUDE." hahahaha fucking power rangers. Duck Tales had the best intro... Question: There's 2 shows that I didn't see in here. The one with Wayne Gretsky and Bo Jackson... or was that cereal? What about that show with robots that all had different traits. One played golf,…
I felt like painting a character without sketching it first because that's what I usually do. So I started laying down some colors and blocking out shapes and it started becoming a robot. I worked on the forms for a good bit then went in and added details then finished up with some light and shadow work. It's not perfect…
