Robot Primitives

For my robots primitives project, I did not have any clear influences. I was just practicing using the different shapes and this is what I came up with! I also included a view from the back of the robot because I think that this view is actually a little more interesting with some of the shadows.

Maya Robot

For my robot, I drew inspiration from the Lockheed Martin robot mule, which can autonomously follow a patrolling platoon while carrying their combined gear.  The biggest challenge I faced was trying to bend the cylinders so that they looked like they provided the same structural support the real pipes provide.

I thought it would be cool to create AWESOMO from South Park, one of my favorite shows, in 3D. I used the helix tool to create the neck and leg connectors even though they cannot be seen very well. This was a very fun project to start out modeling in Maya.
