Title: Bender RodRiguez
Name: Stathis Georgatsos
Country: Greece
Software: 3ds max, Photoshop

This is the character i chose for CGSociety's HMC #14.
My goal for this HMC was to model Bender from futurama, a character with a basic cylinder design, in a way that he could qualify as a hi-res model. That meant going for "real world" rules, adding as many mechanical details (hinges, rotors, traction) as he would need to function in "real world".
It was definitely fun finding honest solutions for him, instead of settling for the show's convenient morphing, and still keep inside the character's outline while adding the detail. A few props where then added (hot rolexes, deck of cards, booze, cigars) to bring out Bender's character in the show.

Some hidden details will be posted as separate renders soon.

I don't watch the show, but your render is very clean. Nice style.

It's neat that you added Flexo in there too. Of course, he is just Bender with a beard. Good work though. Like Bubbaloo said, it's very clean.

Bubbaloo, chako, zeezee, noboundariez : hey guys, i am glad you like it :beer:
Howitzer : Flexo gave me an excuse to post both open and closed cabinet version of the same model without any extra modeling.Thanks for your kind words:thumbsup:
Chris : what are you implying man? That i prefered to watch the Euro for a whole month instead of doing a couple days work for this? ahhh....the nerve on some people:rolleyes:
MistaT : Thanks Themi, hope you are doing good with the heatwave we are going through:cool:

Anyway,just in case someone wants to take a look at the HMC's WIP thread of him here is the link to it (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=208&t=623942)
And here are a few close ups of some hard to see details:

The proportions are perfect, fan art too often distorts characters, but this looks exactly like bender. Nice.
