1st Submission Video

This is my 1st video Submission. There was a problem with the Batch Render as you can see on the body of the mouse, around the Logo, it is black with white dots. This doesn't appear when I render the images individually, but only when i Batch Render.

I will have to find a way around this problem in the next few days.

Arm idea

This image gave me the idea of how my robots arms should be and the way they will move.

This is mainly for the shoulder joint and I went from there.

Kill Bill sword research pics

I used these pictures to model my robot's sword. I decided to use this because I like the shape and design as a whole of this sword.

I also like the film :)

...Getting there...

This is what I have so far...

I will be adding pipes to the sides and back of the robot that also go around to the front.

I am currently working on those.

I am also working around the pivot point, making sure they are ready for the first animation sequence.

not going to be needing this...

I modelled a chip from inside a old mouse. I wanted to see if it will fit somewhere on my robot, but did not like the look of the chip. I modelled a high-poly at first and then realised that it was unnecessary to do that because I can just model a low poly version as it does not need much detail.

The chip on the left is the low poly which I was going to use, but I have opted not to use a chip.

I also textured it, but still doesn't fit my robot.

Robot's Neck

Here is an up close of the Robot's Neck.

It is still in the development stages as you can see; I have not split the ends up. I am still contemplating whether or not do split them up. I like it the way it is.

Ideas for Head/Neck

This is an idea to have, what will be the head of the robot, attached to the spiral (neck). Then ends of the neck will split away from each other, thus each attaching to the ends of the head.

This is a rough idea of having the shield of the body attached to the body of the robot.

This is achieved with 4 clips, which are attached to pipes leading to the robot's body.

Here I want to add more pipes, hoping to make the robot look more like...well...a robot! ;)
