Hello there, I’m primarily a max user, but i use Blender as a hobby. Playing around i decided to create one of the robots from a popular romanian web episode show, ROBOTZI, i attached an image of them to this post. I chose the intelectual robot, FOCA, and i’m doing a mad evil twin theme i guess.
I already modeled it and yesterday, when it wasn’t fully modeled i did some shading tests, Blender is quite new to me so i wanted to play around with shading/lighting. Also, took it through photoshop to get a feel of what i want to create and did some post work on it, used some of my Fumefx explosions frames to do this apocalyptic background :).
Anyway, Blender is really fun to use, these days i’ll do a proper unwrap to the robot and start to paint the textures and also finish some of the final details in the model. But, good stuff, i like blender this far and as a hobby i’ll definitely use it more often, who knows, maybe i’ll use it for some commercial work as well, seems really solid :).
Also, i attached a raw render, with the almost finished model. Sorry for the nasty symetry seam, didn’t unwrap it as final model :).
Cheers,
Florin
