lowRobo Free Rig v2.0.1
For Autodesk 3ds max 2008 & Autodesk Maya 2008

Released 03/02/2008

Created By Ila Soleimani

Notes:

I changed the name from the former polyRobo to lowRobo as a tribute to my favorite rig the ‘lowMan’ by Miguel Gonzalez Vine.

I tried to keep the rig as simple and minimal but flexible and versatile. If you encounter any problem or lack of something in the rig I will be more than happy to receive your feedbacks and comments.

The 3ds max rig & maya version are not quiet same and there are a few tiny differences in the controllers & setup.

Also in maya version, It is suggested that you add this mel command < select “*CTRL”; > to your custom shelf for selecting all the controllers at once, else you can use CTRLs Layer for selecting them or just simply use the provided character set (roboCharSET) to key them all at once.

There is no character set in the 3ds max version.

For the fingers there is no controller, thus you need to animate them in the old fashioned geometry-fk-fingers way, which I (as an animator) still prefer it!

New Features: (in both 3ds max and Maya versions)

  • Improved foot controllers
  • Fk/Ik Arm
  • Improved spine controller
  • Improved UV map with a new texture sheet
  • Improved geometry
  • Some fixed errors

New Features: (only in 3ds max version)

  • Switches for chest & head lights (on/off and colors) placed on the spine controller

lowRobo Free Rig v1.0.1 (Formerly polyRobo)
For Autodesk 3ds max 5 & Alias Maya 4.5

Released 04/2003

A super fast low poly robot rig

History:

I made this character solely for using in an animation competition in cgtalk.com forum (Hapless Hero/Villain), but since that competition was about ‘Sharing’, I decided to give my dirty, unfinished rig to the hungry young animators! It was a bit popular for a while but soon because of the flaws & lack of advanced controllers it was out of the interest. Recently I decided to update the rig a little bit, keep its simple & fast features & add a few important things like fk/ik switching for arms and give it a little bit better look so my students (and other people of course) could use it for practicing and study. Happy Animating!

Many thanks ilasolomon,i love LowRobo2008!! I remember animating with the original from the Mad Prof and Robot days.
It’s an extremely fun rig to animate.And the new texture looks great.:thumbsup:

P.S:just wondering if it’s possible to put a custom procedural(or texture map) on the eye surface.Trying to drag a radial gradient from the material editor(3dsmax) onto the eye colour swatch in the spine control parameters.

I know this is a bit late since your release, but I wanted to thank you for making this rig. Unfortunately I got it a bit early before your release of the latest one and worked with “polyRobo” for a class assignment along with the mad scientist / doctor. My teacher fell in love with the rig and asked for a link to it which I gladly supplied. I have since graduated college, but I’m sure he’s happily using the newer version as well to teach students how to animate.

#130

Haha that’s great, I’m really glad, I wish I had more time to supply more fun stuff for ppl specially students. well … I’m not young anymore, now It’s your turn! and I am sure you will do much much better than our generation.

Salut

2 Ila.
Nice CS, i have 2 not critical comment:

  • you forgot lock scale attributes on foot controllers
  • Roll on left and right foot working not equally. It’s depends on anim curves of roboLocator_Heels driven keys. On roboLocator_leftHeel the curve isn’t linear.

I hope it will help.
Nice work again!

DenizL3d,

Thank you very much for the feedback, I’ll keep them in mind and will fix in the next version, if there will be any next version! :^)

Salud,

Ila

Hey guys, anyone know the ‘latest’ version of the “lowmax” rig? I have Max_v03, the lowmax rigs from clicks3d, and a modified lowmax called LowMax2.5 (which seems to be the best of them all), but I have run into problems with all of them, so i was wondering if I was behind the times and there were updated versions floating around. I am doing a lot of animation practice lately and can’t find a rig i think has more character than this guy, so i was hoping I wouldnt have to find another, or use biped.
