Began as a visual concept of a new kind of pet in the far future which later ended up being my main demo reel character. Modeling and other aspects done in Maya 4.5, post affects done in Combustion 2.1, Photoshop 7 and Afteraffects 5.5.

C&C welcome

Very nice...

the character's pose, the logo, and the horizontal texture all work really well together.

I personally like the background, except for the highlighted spot that is inconveniently by the character's head section. Its a little distracting there.

Anyway, good job. I'm jealous :) How did you get that horizontal texture thingie anyways? Its kinda neat

ok later

sorry... it's a bit too much like the AMEE robot in the movie Red Planet.

hey everyone, thanks for the feedback
lol ya i know what u mean about the look being very similar to that robot in red planet. Well as i was designing it the robot from red planet wasnt even on my mind. The head structure i wanted from the beginning was to be a one eye lens piece and as for the legs they had 4 fingers in the beginning but it did not look stable enough so i added more fingers , as for the rest of the body each piece is very different and original, building a robotic cat like character is hard , it will always be linked back to the one in red planet. Any ideas on what to add or chnage to significally change the look of it to not resemble the robot in red planet? (keep in mind that i need to keep the one eye lens and needs to be a 4 leged walking machine with fingers-these 2 aspects reflect my demo reel so cant really change them at this stage)
thanks for the feedback :):P

Maybe if you gave it a tail and changed the color of the metal, maybe an annodized blue or black color?

Hi papaya08,

Model looks great, I really like these kinds of robots :applause:

Could you post some more screenshots and bigger renderes including a wireframe view ?!

Thanx
