-Will

thanks ive just done a "glamor" shot of the wasp and im calling it done for now. until i find the antbot model i made then who knows more might follow. i have plans to model more robo insects. i must say that this being my first moi model im really happy with how moi performs. i am pretty sure that once i get into it more deeply it will fit right into my pipeline. please i bought it now.

P.S i hope you dont mind me submitting it to the gallery, it being my first moi model and all. if there is issues please remove it

Hi Dave, it looks great in the Gallery, thank you very much for posting it there!

It has been cool to see it evolve and get completed!

One thing that would be interesting would be to see a shot of the wireframe inside of C4D to see what that looks like.

I'm glad that MoI worked well for you on this project, it was a good fit for MoI.

I think you've already got this figured out, but MoI can be a nice companion for C4D since it has a much different way of working. You'd basically want to use MoI for things that are more mechanical or industrial in nature, things that may have a lot of holes, booleans, things like that will happen quickly in MoI. Things that are more fully "organic" like faces, creatures, stuff like that will happen more easily with polygon tools and not with MoI.

yes im glad i like it too. i am used to using cobalt for just the reasons you stated ie non organic stuff which to be honest is 99% of the stuff i do. one reason i bought moi was for its file importing and exporting and the cleanness of the exported models. so the modeling is a bonus :)
anyway i am please with how the waspbot turned out and pleased you also like it. here is a screen shot of it in c4d

Apart from the modeling, this thread is really great... reads like a thriller tutorial: the concept, the suspense, the development and the final resolution. A link should definitely be posted under Tutorials.

thanks for the kind words steve

i know its not moi now but i thought i would show you all a render of them both together

Your bug bot collection is off to a great start!

C'mon Dave, this opens up a whole new project for you now...animated insectbots:)
