31/03/14 I created a very detailed arm today and duplicated to create 2

03/03/14

03/03/14 Today I researched ideas for my robot. I took images from the internet related to sidekicks and different styled robots. I had a good idea at the end of it at what my robot would look like, I have gone with a retro styled robot using squares and rectangles as my main shapes. This is because they are the easiest shape to manipulate giving me a good range of freedom.

Research

06/03/14

06/03/14 Today I created my idea for my robot on paper for a later reference image. I drew my robot from the design of my research. I created my robots head based on a retro styled robot with a screen for a face like the robots from fall out 3. The body was based on the idea it had multipurpose use and was inspired by my own imagination. My lower half of the robot was a hover based system like a hovercraft. I created this due to the ability for the player to fly. The arms were based on iron man/transformers with a lot of wires and block based metals.

Illustration Designs

This was my reference image for the back of my body with a backpack and arm holders. The bottom also has a pulse emitter to travel about

This was my reference image for the front of my body, it contained multiple dials a computer system and safe. The safe meant the second life user can store money on the go. And the computer system for access to the online shop

This was my reference image for the side of the view of me arm including a few wires a fist and a few other components.

This was my reference image for the side of the body, I chose a classic rectangle as this would be easy to modify and add more components

10/03/1410/03/14 Today I created the head of my robot

going from my reference images but also add different components. I originally started with a box and added separate components to it. I started with the colour black and red as it was a good contrast. I then added horns and a face using a verity of surfaces

Head designs

This was my first design of my robot head. I attached a jpeg image for a face including horns and an antenna. I chose purple for the horns and antenna as it was a contrasting bright colour.

This is my head in detail. The face is one from the internet I sourced and the rest is the design I created from a drawing using reference images. The main head was created by multishifiting it at the back and in on the front. The horns are created from a sub patched box witch a dragged out.

17/03/1417/03/14 Today I created my body for my robot.

There were many aspects I can work with from the shape of the body to the extra components. To create the safe I researched images of safes looking at the shape of the handle. The computer screen was created using a jpeg image from the internet. I also bevel certain aspects like the sides to add a certain level of detail.

Body Design

This was my first design of my robot body. I Created a safe in the stomach and a computer screen as well that leads directly to the market place. The safe was coloured a dark grey to create a metal effect and the outer screen was purple to make it stand out.

This is my robots body in detail. The safe was created by making a box and adding a dial to it. The screen image was sourced from the internet into a jpeg and put it into the robot with a bevel edge.

24/03/14

24/03/14 I created my lower body for my robot starting with a base block and adding a cylinder to connect the body to the lower half. I then added 4 toroid primitive shape for wheels colouring them black and adding cylinders on the holes to create rims. This gave a realistic effect to my robots lower half

Leg design

This was my first design of my robot legs. I created 4 wheels on a podium to give a car effect. The wheels are slightly bend in and created from the classic doughnut shape

This is my robots legs in detail. The wheels have a rubber texture on them t make them more realistic and the cube a dark grey to match the body. I chose this design as my previous idea didn’t turn out as well as I wanted to.

31/03/14

31/03/14 I created my robots arm today sticking to the design pack very well. I used a variety of techniques to create my arm from multisite and bevel to sub patch to curve my wires. My arm was then mirrored to copy the same effect onto the other side. I added 2 extra points at the top as connectors to the body. I believe that in the future I may add some accsesories

Arm Design

This was my first design of my robot arm, I kept to my design and did a verity of methods to create my arm from sub patch to bevel and drag. The colour was originally red to stand out but changed later.

This is my robots arm in detail. The arm is created through different basic shapes attached by wires created by subdivide.
