CylinderBot: Cute little Core infantry bot
That's right!
This is my first model with arms and legs. I was afraid that they'd be too hard to do, but I managed to make them work without the no-joints-limbs-floating-in-the-air thing that OTA models do
. Please tell me if i did them right
.
Revision: 4 - Texture: not done - Status: Pending model finalization for uvmap
Remember, updates will always be in the first post! (usually under the older pics
This model is a core kbot, designed to replace the AK (a high goal, I know, especially since none of my other models have gotten into CA yet
)
It weighs in at ~1130 polies, with ~550 going towards the legs alone, and ~400 in the arms. It is pre-optimization and not uvmapped yet.
Pics!
Aww... isn't he cute?
Back
This is how it'd look while firing (lack of an elbow is the product of my inability to pose models right, if the person doing the COB wants, they could give it elbows
)
Side view (with weapons collapsed)
By this time you're probably wondering why I designed it so strangely, with the giant cylinders and the tiny limbs (or maybe you already figured it out (or saw the gigantic picture below this text
))
This is why:
Compact "wheel" form
Revision 3 pics:
I did some selective scaling, tweaked some polies, improved the feet and joints.
Revision 3
Showing how the leg folds (luckily, robots don't feel pain
)
Revision 4 pics:
No more dumbell! (right?)
A closer look
The cylinders can all rotate freely, and while the bot can't pivot, it can about-face to face it's opponent (with the help of some cob, that is
)
I hope that this model gives me lots of texturing practice (gulp
(BTW thanks hoi for the tutorials ^_^)) , helps me become a better modeler, and hopefully makes its way into CA.

will be fixed shortly
