The Bot

hihi. there should be a iieeww sound with it to get the illusion that something is falling down and the bot is watching it. but i dont have found it yet.

hehehe robotic suicide. Funny but imo the fall isnt nearly as dramatic as I would expect. I mean, he just falls and thats it.

did you expect that the bot splashed to bits? that wouldnt be so funny.

got a idea. ill let it splash to bits in the final movie.

bot walking near a construction site. other bot chrashing into the ground.

updated the movie. just follow the link above.

it isnt working

sorry but i cant update it untill tomorow. its 22:30 now and i cant acess the computer where its on. somethig to wait for

its up and running again. it needs the newest divx codec, just to let you know.

edit: link at page 3. here it is again: http://www.members.lycos.nl/blenderonline/thebottrailer.avi

well… I really like the model (+ I adore animatrix). but I think your animation is a way too blocky… the beginning is nice so far. but when the robot falls down it’d be nice to have some shakiness in his movements. as an example you could take the roboter-bitch in “the 2nd renaissance”… her movements are alot like we humans do. and a human would shake his arms b4 falling down :slight_smile:

its the more stupid look i went for. now it looks like it had a microsoft chrash. have you seen a robot fall at discovery channel? they do nothing to block the fall. if you gave the honda robot a kick at the edge of a building the only thing it would try to do is move his feet. but yes he could be more intelligent.

in the final movie the bots will be smarter. this movie is just to impress teachers :wink: .

cant do anything about it anymore. i lost my .blend

but not my armature .blend. i was trying to do something with the model and then i came up with this:

sorry, an animation of this picture isnt in the planning. (unless you give me a very good reason of course :wink: )

made a website specialy for the bot project: http://www.members.lycos.nl/blenderonline/thebot/index.html

p.s. if you hate the banners you can give me some free webspace without banners :wink: .

is it so bad? i could use some c&c on my things.

yea im soory and i think they are too i check it all out and it just im a lazy person :wink: :slight_smile: erm well i still dont like th anim erm like the pose up there.keep it coming.

Grimreaper, i dont want to be a grammar nazi but you could use some grammar in your posts. they tend to get more clear when you do that.

but im saying that for the second time and i think its a total waste of my time to say that to you.

im making a entry for the weekend challenge with this character. its an animation so its a double open entry. it is still rendering and i think there are still some mistakes in it.

what do u meen?

i dont know if english is your native language but if you have some periods and commas, your posts get a lot more clear. also a good syntaxis of your words make a post more clear. that is what i mean.

oh well i have help for this stuff cause im like not good at it sorry.

after six hours of blending and rendering ive finished my wc entry. here it is: http://www.members.lycos.nl/blenderonline/thebotwc.avi

C&C please.

he needs more expressions, to make it look like he feels lonely, and put the camera to the side to emphasize that, and maybe have him talk a walk to find some one, and then give up and sit down. or just slow his head movements to make it look like he is searching.

ok, thank you.
