very very nice.i think it could use a little work on the materials of the body but otherwise that’s a great job for a first pic! keep it up.

Nice model. I like the reflections. Keep going.

Great Job! way better than my first post (and it’s not cuz i might have found this before you <wink>) rather cute compared to the ones in the living mechanics contest shudder

Great Job!

Nice, I like the expressionof the eyes

Materials can be made more lively with some texture, but if it’s in plastic is fine.

You should enter the Living Mechanic contest, yes!

Thanks everyone for your comments. I am still trying to figure out how the armatures work. I’ve read a couple of tuts on them but am still messing around. Thanks again for your comments.

that’s pretty cool, but im sure that’s not your FIRST picture, unless you’ve been in the 3d industry for a long time. be honest.

No its not my first picture. I have been using blender for about 4 months and this is the first one that i’ve actually posted.

Mazer, what kind of work on the body i tried to go for a clean metallic look

Idgas · August 30, 2002, 3:40pm

PS im still working on the armatures for the little robot.

Better and better,

reflections on body and head are perhaps a little too sharp, try playing with Mir/Spec colours ad drop down a little that Col slider on the far right in tha material window and which is relative to the EnvMap texture.

Maybe a tyny bummapping with a stucci will creates nice fuzziness.

looks wonderful! the reflections are very cool…perfecto…u really need somehting on the ceiling reflected, ceiling fan? lamp? pancake stains?

rixtr66 · September 2, 2002, 10:05am

not too bad,the reflections are ok,check the color sliders and decrease a little,see what happens.
good modelling

Thanks for the tips ill try the sliders and see what happens.

Idgas · September 4, 2002, 4:40pm

Well I took the little guy back to the shop and came out with this. I was trying to get more of an organic look. Not sure where to go from here. I changed the legs and just about everything. Ya think it looks better this way or the other.??

Ecks · September 4, 2002, 5:30pm

Better! a lot better! I really like it! try adding some detail and post it for the living mechanic contest! gj!
