[agmihred]

nice modeling.and good ppréciation to details.love to see more

[AndreasMartin]

I would like to see the concept for the robot. The details in the picture and also in the animation look promising.

[Abe_killer]

wow! great start i love robots and this one is very promising :)
reminds me of the robots in war of the world(with cruise) for some reasone (the shape maybe ?) ..
how are you gonna animate the cables?are you intending on bonning them or using blend shapes?
keep the good work!

[EchoSierra]

Great Job man! i really like the legs and the feet its got a very streamlined. it might be interesting to see an animation using your model.

[cshanks]

What do the green tubes connect to? Looks like they are just hanging.

[jojojo]

well, the green tubes are done with splines I'll animate with XPresso.
for the moment they're hanging around because I have to do the connections.

thx for the comments!

[eboye]

Very QL modelling, I like that organic type of mechanic modeling (if you know what I mean)
Hope to see updates, & off course animated

Great work!!!

[phantomworkshop]

Can't wait to see this guy animated! Top notch modeling. Good work.

Wow it looks really good
waiting for the next! :)

[ha-dou-ken]

Man, this is great. i can't wait to see where you go with this. Keep the updates coming!

[Pip]

Sweet! I've always loved the "organic looks, but still 100% machine" style, and this robot is definately no exception.
I'm eager to see the arms. :) (Assuming it will have any)

[jojojo]

now doing central body parts and getting connections of the legs....
thx for comments so far!! :-)

[Kickflipkid687]

Wow... that is looking really great! It reminds me now of that cockroach thing in Men in black :). Keep up the awesome work!

[jojojo]

top view from the insectoide.

[HorseFlesh]

how are you going to move those complex legs? with bones?

[Kickflipkid687]

He has already shown a animation of his legs moving. I dont know how he did it, but it looks and works well.

[Iridium]

Originally when I saw the initial robot, I instantly thought of the old movie "Batteries Not Included". The movie had these saucer shaped robots with legs, and cutsie personalities.

Now however, I believe this is the robot that destroyed their home-world.

Great looking model!

[jojojo]

thx guys.
well this model is a thing which is slowly growing, by adding details where they come to my mind. must admit i have no entire concept for it, just growing as it comes...
the anim was done with simple FK, in the end it's gonna be ik. anyway i have lots of work with the model.
the hole tubes and and mechanical stuff is animated with cinemas xpresso system. quite powerful for that stuff. btw: does someone know hox to animate the tangent of a spline, to fit with the rotation angle of an other object?

[jojojo]

WIP on the leg's connection to the body.
leg's forward mechanics finished...

[adoracion3D]

It is really great, I love the originality of it and the quality of the details. Try to improve the render and it will be awesome.


CU

[jojojo]

did some work on the legs axis bearings...

[newellteapot]

I like it as it is mechanical but has an organic feel. :thumbsup: Very good model!

[jojojo]

some bigger renders....

[hitch24]

these are sooo awesom man, looks great:thumbsup:...are you working from any sort of references? and is that vray1.5 you are using to render?

hitch

[jojojo]

well, it`s just growing as it comes to my mind, there`s no plan or so and in fact feet have a very different character compared to the newer backbone. doesn't matter, think the entire thing is important!
render is maxwell...

[jojojo]

did some basic work on the arms / claws

edit:sorry for missing links, server's not working

[chris89]

this rules

and..

well..

this rules

[mladenr]

I love the detail and the design of it's parts. But, I don't get where U'r going with it. He has legs like a bird, arms like insect (tentacles), but other than a combat bipedal insect, I dont know what he could do.

I did not see the animated bits, but you should be aware that his legs are far to the side from the center of the gravity, so he would have to lean left and right a lot during the walking cycle.

Good work.

[jojojo]

well unfortunately I don't know it neither. it's not that important for me designing it from the beginning, as it's just for fun. let's say if it's gonna be able to walk would be cool and pretty sufficient. dunno why I should need some specific purpose for it :-)
hope doing some more work on the arms and maybe adding some details like a bunch of cables or stuff like that, and than going on with textures.
thx for comments!

[bblanar]

couuld we some low rez wires? and high? im doing something kinda similar and id like to peek ; )

[jojojo]

did some update work on the arms. attached some wirez. hope u like it :-)

[jojojo]

did some cable and tubes stuff. material changes are for tests and certainly will be changed.

[hbajramovic]

Good job mate :thumbsup:

You're using vray with vraysky and sun setup for rendering ?

[xLonewolfx]

very nice work so far

nice elements


:thumbsup:

[jojojo]

render is with maxwell 1.1

[jojojo]

little update. sorry for the grain. i've got to finish the forward cladding and to add the upper arm parts...

[Shademaster]

Awesome work man, I can really see your style progressing through the model, once finished this is going to look awesome!

Keep it up!

[darkviews]

Your model is looking great. from the time you started to now it has gained so much.

Although, You might what to start thingking about what you want it to like like in the end and maybe try to stick to your idea as best as possible... Seems to me like you keep adding on more and more. When will it end! lol J/K

Looks great, can't wait to see it finished and textured.

[Neomax]

Thumbs UP!

..cant wait to see the final render!

[jojojo]

here's a view from the top.... yeah I keep adding...

[mogglin]

Hi,

Love the robot design......looks awesome!! Can I just ask, do you have any good sources for mechanical reference? For the joints and springs and stuff. Am just about to start a project which might have a mechanical element.

Thanks,

[jojojo]

thx for the comments!
@BigD17: well, actually not, I'm sorry... this one is intirely made up.

still working on the arms...

[tanicdesigns]

very cool work and designs man. great job.

[ZeroCartin]

is it just me or does this also resemble some kind of futuristic chair? :O

Great work dood :) Are u gonna add some hands on this guy or not? Keep it up :)

[jojojo]

thx guys!
well, hands somehow are integrated, although not in the classic way of five-fingered hands. its more like an insects hand

... and yes! why not making it a chair? so i could avoid animating it :-)

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Very well done. I'm holding my stars at the moment, but it's a 4 or above. I honestly think the robot should be a nice gun smoke black, with red lights.

[jojojo]

http://free.pages.at/yf3d/inse9.jpg

[anandpg]

Wow! thats a really cool robot!:thumbsup:

[jojojo]

made some basic FK-anims of the arms and legs, just to show how the mecanics and linked objects work.

animation arms (http://free.pages.at/yf3d/arms.mov)
animation legs (http://free.pages.at/yf3d/legs.mov)
animation legs2 (http://free.pages.at/yf3d/legs2.mov)

[Lacrevette]

Looks cool, but I have some doubt about the gravity :)

[yenvalmar]

it would actually be quite cool to have a rider in the middle of the torso, i dont beleive i have ever seen that exact configuration of mecha although it comes close to shirow masamune's "landmates" from appleseed, the exact scale and having a fully exposed rider as on a motorcycle would be a "new" idea. and we dont see too many of those so its exciting! i say do it! mobile chair! the only downside is animating might be even more complex since youll need a rigged character. but that will also make the animation much cooler imo. the rigging so far looks great though i do wonder about the need for coil springs in this situation you rigged them great.

edit: i guess the power loader suit from the "aliens" movie was close to the same idea of making this a chair, but this design is so much more elegant, it implies a much more futuristic technology and ability to move faster and jump 39 feet in the air, not like a slow industrial robot to me. more like a jet-ski or a motorcycle type of sports recreational mecha. and then they could race or have competitions. well we are getting far ahead now..

pps, if you dont want to put in a rider can i "steal" the idea? i would design my own mecha :) i just think it would be real cool to have a mecha with fully exposed rider like this..

ppps for best results, it should be a hot chick in some skintight outfit, such as:

http://www.clho.net/anime/appleseed/appleseed.jpg

:)

[SeanJM]

It's good. But I liked it before when it was simpler. :-)

[jojojo]

Little test of materials on the wip-model...

@yenvalmar:think it's a cool idea, though i doubt i'd be able to create a decent character for it. that's my problem. anyway it's your idea so go for it!! :-)

http://free.pages.at/yf3d/inse10.jpg

[jojojo]

here come some wires to the body part of the mech. got only little time for this work so updates are rare... :-(
