Hi.Varnished, I think i am in...But this challenge have any rules or we can do everything we want with the model??Any limit for the tris???T^hanks in advance...

---

I think the bots should have a job, however mundane it should be.

---

Chris

And do they have to be originals? Or could we perhaps model a famous bending robot?

I guess you could submit Mr Rodriguez if you wish, but I'd like to see something original too.

Actually I was thinking of another famous bending robot.

No time or poly restrictions on this one, go nuts on details. And I like Chris' suggestion, each design must have a specific job or purpose. eg. bending girders.

Well I've come up with a general style. That's about it though. I'm not gonna rush, it's gonna have to be seriously good to even get into the top 3 I reckon.

It's currently a few scribbles on a bit of paper (OMG! Gerard's using a pencil!) I haven't found much time for anything lately but we've got a long weekend coming up so I'm hoping to make a start then.

Hahaha thnx! that's what I was going for.. I'll submit a more serious bot later, maybe in the weekend when I have more spare time, I did that in like 20 min, so im not THAT proud of it hahaha still made me laugh while doing it.

But hey nice job to all of you!! Those are some seriously great renders and creations!

I voted for the Secretary bot, I thought that was quite nice. So was yours Matt, the lighting and materials are great!

---

MuS@shiROth

Still nice, Even though I don't think this is a real job, I want to see more like this.

This is for fun ..right.

Chris

darn this..

i was about to join the challenge coz i like to make a robot.

but wen i almost finished the head.. i notice that it suxs w/o color...

so i started to color it but too bad i don't know how... easy to apply colors but it doesn't get what i wanted it to be..

i did try using the raytrace then checker on materialEditor>maps.. grrr already applied but when i rendered it is still gray

as far as i know that raytrace is part of reflection?

Raytracing is a rendering algorithm used to accurately calculate reflections as you said, but also refraction, shadows, GI, and probably some other stuff I'm forgetting. If you're talking about the raytrace material it will enable you to have accurate reflections and refractions.

phew... my english is bad ...
can't hardly understand some words and some stuffs like refraction, GI ..

even I can't still make the head what I want it to be.. don't know how to use editable mesh either...

I always use editable poly still my curves suxs.. and my smoothing can't handle it how

Stick to editable poly, it's much better than editable mesh. You don't really need to worry about refration and Gi and all that stuff yet so don't stress yourself too much. Just work on your modelling skills for now.
