Insect Sized Investigator 13

t-bear · 06-02-2007, 11:07 PM

Nice to be back with strata and wings again.

Here is the latest development in this years spot robot.
It is the legs of the Spot robot, when it is finished it will
look like a Dragonfly.

Well I hope you like it so far, comments are welcome.

stas3d · 07-02-2007, 01:22 AM

hmmm...Looks like intresting project! I will be waiting more updates.

Nippur · 07-02-2007, 12:19 PM

The legs look good...for a dragonfly. Just keep it up

t-bear · 14-02-2007, 10:04 PM

The progress so far.
Some more work has to be done on the
back shield, when I am finished with that,
I will model the tail and the wings.

Well comments are always welcome ;-)

--Strattus-- · 14-02-2007, 10:32 PM

Nice details! I like it!
Can't wait to see it done.
There are very small bumps on the main body tho.. next to the legs... Sure you can fix it

agony · 14-02-2007, 11:01 PM

nice progress so far, cant wait to see it with the shield and the wings

younglion · 16-02-2007, 09:16 AM

im liking it already, would be great to a see a short animation of this model.

t-bear · 16-02-2007, 11:22 AM

Thank you for the kind comments

Here is the latest progress.

Have done a lot of work to the main shield,
I will start to work on the wings tonight.

Hope you like it so far, comments are always welcome.

younglion · 16-02-2007, 06:22 PM

is the head supposed to be like a spot light or flash light?

t-bear · 17-02-2007, 10:20 PM

Now it can almost fly, I am currently working on the
"wing muscle" machine thing...

I hope the transparent textures will do a lot for the
wings, that is actually why I haven´t give them any
more detail.

Well hope you like it so far.

>P.S. YOUNGLION
The head is it is actually a lens.
The creature is a ISI model 13, ISI meaning Insect Sized Investigator,
in this case a rather boring and peaceful one, it is a mascot for a music
festival called SPOT Festival, so it´s purpose is to SPOT new musical talent.

Very nice.
This is turning out great, detailed and cool design. Are you going to rig and animate it?

Psistorm · 18-02-2007, 07:56 PM

very nice design, I must say! I really like to see this with materials and everything

only one possible crit: it seems to me like this creature would quite easily topple over towards the front, due to the quite large seeming head. maybe add a sort of "tail" to balance this out?

t-bear · 19-02-2007, 12:49 AM

First thnx a lot for the kind comments, really appreciate it!

Here is the "engine" wing holder, kind of thing.

I am now working on the tail, so soon it is of,
to the "texture lab".

Hope you like it so far...

t-bear · 27-02-2007, 07:50 PM

This will be the last "clay" versions you will see, cause I am almost finished with the modeling.

So off to the texture shop

...

Hope you like it s far....
