looking very nice. excellent detail on those feet- but I have one small complaint. Overall, the legs look a bit repetitive. I think you'll get an overall better effect with a little bit more variation in the shapes. One possibility would be to have the base of the foot a different shape and to have the knuckles of the feet/toes possess a bit more detail or form and such.

Excellent progress, though. Once I get some time I'll probably have to start working a lot faster if I want to keep up with you!

Pony, I think I was planning on having the wires gathered inside the larger cable and then split off at each joint, but I see your point, I rerout the wires so it makes more sence. Thanks for saying something.

Funky Bunnies, Hmmm... thats an interesting thought, I'll keep that in mind when I'm working on it. My thoughts were that the repitition of shape would define the object thematically, also I was designing the 'bot with the idea of minimum weight, and that the 'bot will be about 3 inches long(7.5 cm for the europeans). Designing for functionality came first, but perhapse I should go back after the function is complete and refine the asthetic (something I notice that a lot of engineers fail to do).

Thanks for the crit.

I finally was able to get some more done. I've been spending a lot of lunches working out the smaller details but I haven't been able to spend much time at my computer. sigh... well Ive got the frame of the head. some minor tweeking of points still to do.

also built the brain, althow I haven't attached it yet. (blue thing with the orange bands in the head)

sandman300 · 17-04-2005, 06:38 AM

sandman300 · 17-04-2005, 06:41 AM

time for bed.

sandman300 · 18-04-2005, 05:39 AM

new day, some more detail added. I was working on the textures.

sandman300 · 18-04-2005, 05:43 AM

the brain is all wired up. the head is basically done. I might add a few more details to areas that are a little bare.

sandman300 · 18-04-2005, 07:04 AM

little more detail and a little texture change.

sandman300 · 18-04-2005, 05:23 PM
