Any oldtimer REDuser folks remember this guy?

[Alan Skinner]

So, we started on this way back when Jarred cut himself on his little pet. Finally making some time to finish the modeling. We now have the 3D model rigged for animation. Coming out pretty nice.

I think we will do some matchmove work with it eventually, just for fun.

Anybody remember if this thing has a name?

wasn't that the 404 error page for red.com ?

edit: NICE render btw

2nd edit: omg, i just checked, it still is the 404 error page for red.com

 

[Alan Skinner]

Wow, you are right! I never knew it was the 404 page. We just had a small image that Jarred posted years ago. Had some spare time and played with modeling it and then got busy. I have one of my guys doing the rigging now as a Maya project. The modeling was done in Autodesk Inventor. Could do CNC from the model. I imagine that is what they did back when Jarred had it made in metal.

Anybody need any modeling for CNC or animation done, let me know. We have the talent in-house.

Nice render. I saw it in the display case in the store @ RSH back in August. Not sure if it's still there.

Hi Solomon,

Thanks for the offer and I may take you up in the future but we are going to play with it here first.

I have my modeler making a cockpit for the interior so a driver can be in the body. Might do some green screen work around that.

Now that it is finally rigged up, we are just coming up with what to do with it. Kind of a horses and cart thing but that is how it came about.

Haha! Thanks Luc! We have the metallic iris in the eye that operates as well. Should be a lot of fun.

Nice! Could this become reduser.net's replacement for the more conventional banhammer? :devil:
