well so ya know more what I'm talking about if you ever do.. on battlestar its not the scilons (sp?) I'm talking about. they got stuck on some planet that had thease bug like critter.. the head reminds me of them.. and in StarWars ep 4, when R2 is walking acrost tward C3PO in the sandCrawler, there is a old robot bobing its head back and forth in the forground to the right a bit.. that one..

Ohhhhhh. I know what you are talking about now. Lol. I guess it does show a ressemblance.

A little more detail added.

A different view.

very cool, keep it up dude

Update on the start of the legs. Tell me what you people think. Give me some suggestions on some ideas for it. Much appreciated.

Back side.

Updated legs.

without the guards

maybe this will impress somebody. a different robot i started. i need to know if you all like this stuff or not. cause if not then i need to know what to do to make it impressive.

... y must i always forget the image. is there a way u can edit ur attachment on the post

Maybe this will look better.

personaly I like the one befor with the legs.. way stylish..

ok good. iv been working on that one more anyways. lol

I pretty much finished up the legs and made temporary feet and arms. More details will be added to the torso, feet, joints, and arms with the next post. http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-11/873369/12.JPG

Looking good. Now on to feet and hands to match the style of the rest..

yea thx. would u happen to have any suggestions for the feet and hands? lol like for the details and stuff.

Hi gohan, really enjoyed this thread, great progress updates and in my opinion:

1) The concept idea is cool - strangely robots & bars seem to work rather well...
2) The bar is looking very nice, looking forward to perhaps more additions to the drinks fountain selection? Plus looking at how well the chrome turned out, I'm expecting some sexy looking bottles too :) That should really add some character to the scene.
3) I can tell that you've put a lot of work into the head model - it's looking good to me although perhaps a little wide? Maybe the features could do with a little bump up in size too. I'm not positive it would look better but might be worth just trying.
4) The robot with tracks looks slightly disproportionate, although I think earlier comments were spot on - the legs looked very good so I think you should keep them.
5) The torso and legs look almost "crash test dummy" ish, so the hands and feet would probably look best with that same theme. ie. body parts looking almost 'human' whilst retaining the nice mechanical joints.

Excellent work so far, looking forward to seeing the next updates, I hope some of my comments are useful. Good luck! :D

thx alot petrol. th for the comments too. and yes they are very helpful. now i have some ideas of the people to work with. i already scaled the head down. and im working on the torso and feet now. yes i will finish the bar with bottles and everything.

alright alright. The time is getting shorter so I'm going to start getting this thing done. I've started over with a (3 or 4 legged?) robot. Here is a start on the leg.

This one is with 3 legs:

This one is with 4 legs:

This one is with the body of my other robot:

to me the toes seem overly large and I think it will look best as a biped. Looking good.

ok so u want it to be 2 legged? and iv already scaled down the toes i just didnt get to render them. ill post as soon as possible.

Well here it is with just 2 legs and shrunken toes/claws.

that will prob work, can we see it all togather ?

see what all together? the other part of the robot. if so, im remodelling that too.

started on the base.
these 2 are with 2 legs:

humm can't deside my self.

Go with 2 legs. Much more realistic than 4 legs in that small a space.

thought so. thx

Two different renders to maybe help show more of the robot:

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-11/873369/mech6.jpg

does anybody have any suggestions for a good color scheme?

Metal, like steal, unpolished. Pained over buy layers of paint, some flaking off on it.

and why just links to the images ? why not put the [IMG tag around them ?

wat do u mean the img tag?

well you can do it the long way or the short way. The short way is, insted of typeing in the text box what the link is.. above the editer on the post reply is a button that says IMG. right under the size, font, color. Its all in the vB Code section. Just press that button and type in the url in the little box that apears. The image will apear in your post once you make it. Remote linked in.

ohhhhhhhhhh ok. thx alot. that really helps.

I did a little bit more today. Sorry for the bad render on the second pic, but my computer just can't handle it if I turn up the filter.
