Say Privyet <\/em>to the friendly magnetic service Russian robot, FyED-OR!<\/em> FyED-OR (transliterated and stylized from the Russian \u0424\u0451\u0434\u043e\u0440<\/em>) is the Soviet Union’s High Powered Magnetic Service Android (\u041c\u041cCA-14<\/em>). Originally built in the futuristic year of 1998, the FyED-OR units were built en masse to facilitate robotic personally to help work in various factories and in zero-gravity environments. Equipped with two magnetic “hands” and magnetic fielding feet, FyED-OR units are able to lift incredibly heavy metallic objects, as well as work in any environment (assuming it’s made of some sort of metal). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how was the character developed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had originally developed a bunch of random concept art that happened to have some sort of robot. The following piece of concept art was actually made way back in A-Term before we had any idea of what we were going to do for this project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, this idea of a humanoid robot with magnets for hands begun being more and more realistic for our project. I created more concept art for the character until I had a rough idea for what FyED-OR would look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn’t know if FyED-OR would be a humanoid, a Wall-E like robot, or even a Roomba Robot!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Despite all the work I had done creating the idea of what <\/em>and how <\/em>the robot looked, our game was always going to be in first person, and therefore never needed a player model. However, seeing that my project for this class requires a full body player model, I decided to go the extra route and create the whole body too! This opens up new opportunities to perhaps include a third person camera in our MQP, or perhaps decorate the environment with derelict and abandoned FyED-OR units. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the actual modelling, it was quite tedious, but I love hard surface modelling, so it just took a lot of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you all think about this robot? Do you think it makes sense given the environment? Does it seem too “chunky<\/em>“? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
