That's a great robot design but there wasn't many Robot Monsters from the 50's B movies.
If you had did Forbidden Planet's Robby or Gort from the Day the Earth Stood Still, that would have been instantly recognizable.
I was tempted to enter doing a Gort model since the remake is coming out soon with Keanu Reeves - can't wait for that.
The only robot monster I can think of but is so simple to do (unless you do an animated scene with it walking around with lightning bolts and all) is Kronos ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ErOqYD-i3Q )
Hi Will, that's my problem ... how having fun to build such a simple model, simplicity affraid me I guess :o)
Can't resit to do a quick render from the actual model ... still so many things to do :)
(Would love to find a way to match MoI camera to other 3D package camera, so I can use the cool Moi's wireframe over a g.i. render pass)
I feel like I'm changing my original comments after seeing this render. For some reason it seems more believable to me now. I cant put my finger on it though!
Looks great of course but the claw would not close due to the connections struts bolted onto them. The center piece should rotate and thread in and out of a bushing which would open and close the claws about their pivot pin. The struts would not allow the claws to "collapse".
It appears the Pivot point is the strut area. That would now make sense. But for future reference, reversing these 2 points would make a more "powerful" claw.
Hi Paq,
Outstanding model as always character is coming along great. Can't wait to see the finished product. What program are you planning to render in? Keep it coming
