March/April - Normal - Caligraphics
 

okay, I'm in for this one.

Search Robot

My concept is a redefinition of the Search Robot. A search Robot is normally some webbased thingy, but my search robot will search for those things that you constantly loose.

- what happened to that pen of mine
- wheres my keys
- where did my kid go
etc.

Sketch shows the concept I drew, but changes may occur during modeling. I especially think the feet need a change, and the legs will definately have some attachments and stuff like that.

I hope you like it.

Hey :D, familiar name.
The guy that made the cps tutorial if i remember rightly?
Nice concept as well, this should be good!

hehe yeah thats me.

And I am still using CPS :P. I still think its more friendly to use than Smooth Proxy. Tho I believe that this model here will be mostly nurbs.

Sounds good, do they still have cps avalable online to download somwhere, if i remember correctly the last time a checked it had gone.

CPS can be found at www.lightstorm3d.com

First preview
 

here's the first rendering of the hull of the body.

A little update.

I figured that the robot needed to have some kind of fenders, to protect the equipment..

And another update..

This is a test rendering, plus a few more changes to the actual model.

Tech info :
--------------

Shaders : Standard grey Blinn shaders, with no adjustments and a dark lambert shader for the rubber bands.

Environment : My Studio Light setup, that I use for Industrial Designs.

Rendering : Maya 6.5 Mental Ray, with FG .. I used Satelite rendering, on 2 P4 3ghz with 1gb ram, and 1 AMD Tbird 1400 with 512 mb ram.
Time for rendering : Approx 2 min. in 800x600

Looking good!

that is so cute :D

I looked at the magnifying glass and lolled, everyone at work looked at me like "wtf?" :D

ZykotiK : hahaha great, and I have experienced that aswell :P

Another update here :
