Preparing for war

Haven't seen Jay post in a while. He's either busy, bored, or deeply concentrating on the impending battle.

I've begun work on my battle movie. My computer's lack of RAM is making itself clear, as I'm confined to working in wireframe mode if I want to get anything done.

Jay's robot file was about 50x the height of my bot, so I had to spend some time making them similarly sized. No doubt an intimidation tactic by Jay.

Re-did the logo here, nothing like a little Photoshop to calm the nerves before battle.

Mayaloge.org

Mayaloge.org lives!

THC

You know, I was all set to have a relaxing afternoon, but then I see Jay talking smack about my robot. Of course I don't have Maya at work, so I speed home, crack open Maya...



... and decapitate Scrap-Bot's head, stuff it's rusty-ass skull with weed, and smoke that shit up through it's eyes. See what you made me do Jay!

Set my robot on fire, will you?


p.s. Jay, what do you think about mayaloge.org?

My entry, submitted for battle. Right-click and save-as!

R2, the first animation

Click for animation. My first attempt, after finally figuring out the whole Maya keyframe scheme.

My Robot brings all the Droids to the yard...

Mad respect to Jay's robot, and his mini-tutorial there. Robot Challenge 2005 will truely be a battle for the ages.

With that said, I submit my contender. His name is R2, and he's here to bust yo ass up:



R2 is composed of the finest polygons, and is a true playah. I was tempted to make an original robot, like Jay's, but I had already been working on him before the contest started and felt that I'd be good with that... plus there are tons of pictures of Mr D2 online, so modeling was a little easier. I'll put together an original robot during Robot Challenge 2006



Time to start moving my Center Points around.

I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords...

Mr Jay has been one busy mofo, with his "job" and whanot. Surely he is assembling a team of animators to fight my robot in heated battle. All I can say is bring it

Here's part of the robot I'm modeling these days. I'm still adding ultra weapons, and super-mint armour. Perhaps it will have a bow-staff.

Snap!

I've been working pretty hard on my robot, and hope it will be ready for combat. My animations skills are non-existant, so this should be a good exercise for me.
