Aaah I see. I have a few like that too ;)

Very cool robot bird!

Great work Dave!

Is Maxwell, Fryrender or AR3?

Tnx in advance for the reply!

it could be a head from a robobird but we will never know (:)) thanks mate.
it is fryrender mate and thanks to you too

Neat! How did you do the tubes?

made a cylinder then filleted it then aligned it to the end plugs on the head, drew the paths and then aligned (array'ed) the cylinder to the path job done.

Very nice Max3d. I always love your Bots. Another for the garage. Perhaps it's the "evil Gecko brother" on the wall.

I was wondering about the scale you do these in. with large objects you seem to get great detail also. If you get some time, can you elaborate on this area?

Thanks,

Burr

"I was wondering about the scale you do these in. with large objects you seem to get great detail also. If you get some time, can you elaborate on this area?" not sure i understand this but if you explain it i will be sure to spill the beans for you mate. do you mean i get small details on large things if so all i do is try to mimic what we have now but add more ( or less in this case)
and thanks mate for liking the work

Looks great Dave!

Maybe it's a trophy from a robot hunting safari?

Taxidermy for robots would be really easy I guess... ;)

Hi Max3d,
Well I am refering to the "size" of things your working on.

So I work in inches. If the head is made at "40 inches" total, then that brings things like the little detail down to a specific size, and getting too small can be problematic.

Not sue the best way to describe what i'm asking. It's more like a starting point/ layout decision with regard to the ability to achieve the detail. Surely you can't just randomly pick "5 inches in length" and then expect all the little detail to be acheivable?

Perhaps it's just a decision to think in real term numbers and start with a head that is say, "a 10 ft. Robot" and then knowing that .25 inch filets are not unreasonable to ask of the system?

When I see you and PAQ make these great detail models, I just dont have a good grasp yet of how to start with regard to scaleing, to follow through with the model and have the ability to get down to the detail.

Let me know if this does not make sense.

ahhh i see. i do start in real numbers from the get go so if its 10inches its 10inches to start with. the detail works first time or gives me headaches trying to get it to work. ive always worked like this in all the apps i use.

So whats the overall size of that head?

450mm long on the main body then the tail end

Wow impressive modeling there.

Another nice one Dave, reminds me of something prehistoric in robot form :)

Cheers
