Okay I took off the hair because it didnt look right, it was just something I was messing with. I tried to do some UV texturing, but for some reason even when I press '6' I cant see how to align my texture projections, they just look like blurry pixels, and I cant do crap. Any thoughts on that?

So I made a light room for my duder, and rendered him. I gotta adjust the shadows a bit to make it look more realistic but here ya go, a non-hdri shot of my guy, but rendered using mental ray...

Okay, I did a NPRS render of him...I really like NPRS, it gives a nice manga-esque feel.

hey esion this is a very cool looking robot...
I have been wanting to do a robot for so long but i could never find any good references...

Where did you get the reference for this one? did you ust draw it from your head first?

I would like to draw my own reference for a robot, but i need to see some cool ones to go off first...because i have no idea what a robot should lookn like or consists of.

Sometimes you eat the bear...Sometimes the bear eats you...
Either way...shit happens

Does anyone know how I can material color different in a dgs_material? When I try to change the color it makes the model black...im kinda stumped.

Hey Traindog...this was the first thing I ever did in Maya, its a pretty old thread. The body of the bot is Blue from the Learning Maya 7: Foundations book by Alias. If you want how to do it you can follow that tutorial and it will look very close to mine. As for the head, I went on my own little tangent and made a Patlabor/Guyver type head, and just messed around with it.

And johnnyos, thanks...ya a few months ago I was lost in Maya's vastness. It took me awhile to figure out what things like rigged and ik/fk meant. Thanks for the run down again.

I know exactly what ya mean about the vastness. I have a mate that uses 3d canvas a lot, and he showed me a good few things aboput maya, although there's so much in it, I doubt that you could ever really know the whole thing.
