Privyet<\/em> everyone! I know, this is a fairly late post. I kind of underestimated the time it would take for me to texture my little magnetic friend, FyEDOR. It wasn’t that it was a complicated subject to texture, but that my computer was not happy about how much rendering back-and-forth <\/em>I had to do. It reached a stage that I would change even just the camera in the render view and my computer decided to just say “you know what, Christian? You can go ahead and just go take a shower or a nap, because this render will take you a while”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, with that said! Here’s a textured FyED-OR!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let’s go a bit into the texturing process. Originally, FyED-OR was supposed to be a blue robot; however, deciding that the colors red and blue are about magnetic polarity, I decided to try for a more neutral, non-polarity-related, color orange. It also works well with the fact that orange and blue (the color of small emissive details) is a great compliment to each other. Lastly, orange works well since FYED-OR is supposed to be a service robot. It would make sense it’s a bright “stand-out” color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll notice a lot of Russian on this robot. I figured since it’s a service robot, FYED-OR would have a lot of non-aesthetically pleasing writing all over it. Considering this robot exists in some enigmatic Russian factory\/storage facility, there would be a lot of servicing done on the robot. If you look closely you’ll see warnings for hazardous magnetism and hazardous radiation (I presume that FyED-OR is powered by a small nuclear reactor and not conventional batteries) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FyED-OR is supposed to have some sort of sentience, but also is not supposed to be free-thinking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the things that I was happy about was that I did a lot of research on how<\/em> the robot would move. Those hydraulics aren’t just for show– although the wires and cables are definitely just half-hazardously thrown around to look cool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do ya’ll think? Is there anything about the color orange that works? Or would a different color work better? I originally thought about black or white (or even grey) and I thought it really looked dull. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
