It's Done, It's Done!

So after 122 hours of rendering and many disappointed visits to the computer lab here's what I finally got and then printed.

Almost There

Last render before adjusting the lights just a bit more and then rendering to print, which is taking awhile.

Friendbot

Added a friend for Fanbot, called Friendbot obviously, I think the scene is still too dark so that's on the to-do-list for tomorrow when I can bug Orellana. Also, got the face on Fanbot to illuminate by adding luminance to the texture.

It Lives!

Pretty self explanatory really, it's in a scene. And yes, before you ask, I did not model all those objects, it's a picture of my desk.

All Gussied Up

After putting lots of random colors on different parts of the fanbot, I found a particular combination I like so much that I just put it everywhere. There are a few other colors, but for the most part it is two-toned. Not sure about giving him a friend now, because he looks really independent and functional. Going to try and put another picture up, but seeing as this render took an hour, may take a bit, although I did turn some settings down. Also, he's missing his face, since I'm on another computer and didn't bring that texture over.

Almost Done

Added a head, fixed up the fan, fooled around with a few other things. The model is practically done, so it's left to textures and environment, which hopefully I can do High Dynamic Range Imaging, to put it in a real environment, since I seem to hate making my own. Hope to have it fully textured/modeled by Tuesday so I can do the HDRI with the remaining time. Maybe fanbot will get a little clocktank friend.

Fanbot Gains Fan

Today I made a fan(yay). Also, I added the kilty thing to the base to make it more interesting, but it looks more ridiculous than anything. Still need to work on the fan; swivel base, electrical cords, a few other bits. Also going to add a head. Hopefully the modeling will be done by Thursday and then start on texturing and HMRI? basically putting it in a real picture. Finally, ignore the colors, they are nonsense.

Fanbot

Okay, I now have the direction I want to go in. This robot has been integrated into a fan; its job is to appropriately direct the fan at the user to provide optimal cooling. So, when activated, the robot is able to move about freely to find the best place to cool from, and it plugs itself in and starts fanning. It also uses the plug to recharge it's own battery and as an awesome tail. Next thing to do is make a swivel mount on the hips, attach a fan, and then probably add a head of some kind. Also thinking of adding something to the front of the hips as it's a little bland (all I have to say is kilt).

Change of Direction

Finished another leg, which clearly contrasts the original one. However, it's starting to shape more like a two legged robot than a tripod robot, so I'm thinking of changing directions a bit. The current plans, I suppose, are to make some funky two-legged, possibly no-armed, robot that some guy threw together out of a junk heap, or some very weird robot starter kit.
