Nice. I'm liking it.

if u look at the picture carefully, it looks a but cartoony, so i made the bot more towards dark blue, to make it look more realistic, im gonna post some poses, but for the final bot post threads, ill have my arms with the robot

thought of something, what if there is crime in the dark where there isnt any lights, i added A headlight to my bot

Hehe cool stuff. This is coming along fantasticaly.

thanks, heres my bot with the claws(still rigging it....)

got better shader on my arm...

back view

noticed that my tail somehow had transperacy on, ill fix it

... ... ... ... ... *speechless* ... ... ... ... ...

looking pretty cool. Waiting so see it standing tall now...it'd be hard to walk crouched as it is. Crouched look menacing, in this case a good thing. Tall it should look imposing, also a good thing. Maybe some additional lights. The headlight could use a light and what about the classic red and blue (or some places just bule) flashing light? Keep up the nice work.

This is truly great work

Well done !

I was going to try something too but I suppose my drawings are just some jokes compared with yours. This is really good.

thanks everyone:) i thought it wasnt that good, and mhcannon,ur sooo physic, i just finished adding cylindrical headlights to my bot!!, and yes i will add my light to my headlight(duh) im gonna make it similiar to a car's..thanks everyone for the compliments, u guys dont kno wat it means to me:)

nay, go for it. The better the competition, the more you push yourself, the more you learn.

YES....i want competition here, if someone wins easily, it doesnt feel like u really won, when there is real competition, thats when the fun begins;)

Really nice. I like the brighter shader. Gives it a good look and for when it's in dark. I really can't wait to see the environment you are going to place this in. I'm thinking a back alley.

theres a bit of a problem,after i put my police lights on, everything started going slow, cuz i put lots of detailed features on the lights with the police lights

so im gonna have to take it off, and there is only gonna be headlights....

but one good thing, lets say theres a crime, and then the bot starts running towards them, if the criminals sees the police lights, there gonna start runnin away, and the bot wont have to run acroos the street....it will jump across roofs and climb walls with the arm..so the police lights arent needed, and my pc cant handle too many lights:(

still got the headlight:)

picture of headlight

FINAlly........made my legs move to diff. spots and got the bot to be higher....

that box is just a dummy in place of a robber or something...some more....

i like this one the best so far...

Wow! This has come a long way since I last looked! Dude you should be competeing with the big boys in the norm section it is so good! Excellent work.

you're just sayin that:rolleyes:

very nice stuff. I like it alot. Has a lot of posiblitys.

aiight u guys, theres a change of plans....im not finished....i thought about my robot, im gonna add even more and modify even more, since i have so much time

i re-did my leg..here it is, im still working on it, and then im gonna add details to my body

I think the design was fine. Be happy that you finished so quickly. If you want to eat up more time, try painting a texture map for it, build an environment for it, or develop the controls for the skeletal rigging and get it animated. You can use the time to push your skills and learn more. Just my two cents.

Great work btw.

some more progress...

some more progress...

looking great so far, Metallicjet. Just a bit of refining on the body -> leg pivot and maybe something more on the lower leg. Keep up the good work :D

ok...more progress, now im gonna start makin the insides of the bot, and make the glass transparent so everyone can see

Really nice. Can't wait to see the insides. Why is your last post so long but empty expect for the pictures. Or is it just me?

guess somethin went wrong with the last pic. but its not that important

Model is looking good. Please try to keep pictures at 640 * 480 or smaller.

i know i know, but that kinda sux doesnt? oh well

heres the inside of my bot...

Yeah 640 by 480 does suck. But it isn't as bad if you get as much of the model in the picture as possible. For example there is alot of extra area around your picture above. Try zooming in some and the moderators will love you forever........maybe.

O yeah and the model is looking good. I don't see they want me to go norm but haven't said anything to you. Anways good luck with the model! Cheers!

lol possibly because he's only had maya for 1 month ;). it's looking good, Metallicjet :D just something seems to be missing with it...just a bit of detail and you'll be golden. keep it up, man.

(P.S. - yes. I agree, 640x480 is very small. It's very hard to see details and I think we all may need to adjust for the low quality renders in order to most efficiently go about our robots.)

still looking good.

yeah I agree about the 640x480. I think it was do to a size on the server consideration why that was desided on. Personaly I think they should alow larger sizes if the image is remot linked off personal web server.

I believe it is ok for larger images if they are remote linked.
