Thank you, you woll see how it works, if the left arm ist completed Then I will show all the Funktions of the Arm, maybe with a small animation…

Now here you can see the recent WIP. I am working on the shoulder and the upper arm. Some Parts an Details are still missing, but a new WIP will come soon :wink: …

whoo that is a alot of detail very intresting.
how do you build this thing up? how do you organise it?
is it one big mesh? or do you make parts and parent-child them?
how many polys are you up to?

very nice work so far :slight_smile:

wish you best luck :slight_smile:

/P

thank you.

well, ist is nor one big mesh. Like you can see at the pictue below, it consists of 382 objekts (this is the amount of objekts in the hole szene, ~20 objects of them are cameras, lights, and other objects).

Each bodypart consists of a grouping of parts. Then theses groups are placed in a special order. For some parts a use “expresso” to manage the angles.
For example:

There are two joints. The joint of the upper arm und the joint af the shoulder. I have made an setup in expresso that ensures, that the joint of the shoulder’s angle moves ecactly like the angle of the upper arm, but divided with 1.4 . so the shoulder move with the arm, but a bit slower.

at the moment i am up to 559408 polys.

Hehe yeah sorry, but i am not able to translate it myself, so i have to find someone to so this. But i will hurry up …

@ PauGfx:

One mesh? … in cinema this would be faster then many objects, but everyone hast it’s own style, I guess …

#28
