ok

im thinkin of going along the lines of a robot that can do many things at once, im taking the 4 mechanical arms of doc oc from spiderman 2 and going to add them to a robot

not sure if its much of a good idea or not, but, ya:)

Do u have a sketch/storyboard u can show us?

i have one, but i dont have a scanner:(

but somehow ill try and post it .....somehow.........

ill take a digital photo of it

good idea. try not to make the doc oc arms and claws like they are in the movie. try and make them different.

i already did, lol, im probably gonna make the textures totally different to make them seem more like NOT doc ock, LOL

ok heres a sketch of my crime-watch robot(just made it up 3 seconds ago)

gohan is telling me that this is anime/mech if it is please tell me rite now, cuz im starting to make the robot

an anime mech, in my opinion, is a robotron, humanoid mech. This should be fine.

the box under the eye(shield wat ever u wanna call it) will have extending arms that can grab thiefs and even cats off of trees;)

here is the claw that is supposed to be attached to the arm that is attached to the robot, lol

heres the sketch i modified, i already kno wat i have to do from here, when i model it the ball joint for the leg, has to be bigger

im gonna make the shape of the body more like an egg shape than the one in my sketches, it looks more modern

yeh tht gives a more modern and sophisticated look..

also, i though i would redo the legs, and give it more support

maybe u can make the feet a bit more rugged. It's like it walks on knobbed shoes like a footbal player. ;)
Maybe you can get some inspiration from Star Wars its ATPT walker (follow this link).
The walker's legs and feet are well designed for this kinda model.

lol, when i said legs, i meant feet also, thanks though:) :)

aiight, i finished making the claw and arms, im rigging them today, ill post a screenshot of it tomorrow as soon as i pose them, and then ill start on my robot

ok, this claw/arm is the main weapon for CWR(crime-watch-robot)

it will pop out from the small door under its eye, please tell me if u see anything wrong with it, ill try to fix it right away

nice job cant w8 to see it on the robot

ill be posting my very first steps on the robot soon

im just modifying my robot structure a little longer

I like the coloring on the arm most. It has a little aged look to it. Whereas the claw looks factory fresh?

On the far claw fingers, the last digit appears out of line with the rest.

Nice model, should be interesting to see it all put together.

thanks, ill fix those as soon as possible

i fixed it, check it out:)

heres the very first step i took for the body of my robot

Add another isoparm at the back there.

Good stuff so far though! *whispers: get into norm!*

thanks, but i've been using and only had maya for only 3.5 weeks,

so im a total noob, lol

ok, i totally modified my robot, and this will be the last and latest concept

Looks good. What is the tail-fin at the top for? Or is it just decoration? Maybe u could add a set of flashing lights and a siren horn like on cops cars and such. :laugh: Just some useful gadgets that could have a hell of an impact if u animate them.

the tail basically is for the signals of crime going all over the city and stuff and im also adding speakers to the robot so dont worry

ok, here....i made some more progress on the body

Right on. Keep going!

ok, i fixed the little unsmoothness of the back of the robot

Looking forward to seeing progress.

....lol, thanks man

here is some more of progress i made today

ill do the texture at the end

ok, i have the tail on, im puttin 2, but for now, im just showin one, now im gonna start to work on modifying the tail and then add 2, hope u like it;)

here it is(much better than one tail)

small sample of wat it would look like with the claw

Really nice. I'm liking it.
