Making designs Ready

I had to take all these reference images into photoshop then align them so they were all in the same proportions for my image planes in maya, i also had to move the arms so they were aligned in the crucifix position so that i could see the torso for modeling.

Robocop

I have decided that i want to do Robocop due to how they are some of my favorite films. i started by looking for reference imagery and other images which may help. Whilst doing this i stumbled across some blueprints which someone had drawn up, this makes it much easier when it comes to modeling it.

Some more movie characters

These are some more modern characters which i like, and i think that i would like to model either of these the on. The issue being that both are detailed but either would be a good challenge and i think would teach me a lot of skills.

These are the security droids from Star Wars, i really like the shapes which are involved in creating these but i think they have already been re-created a few too many times. Also i feel as though they have a very set style of movement which i may find difficult to emulate.





This is Robocop one of my favorite characters from film, i really like the way he moves and the look of him in general the shape of his exoskeleton would be hard to recreate but i think it would be worth it. The only issue i can foresee is with timing seen as i have never really modeled anything like this before and i don't really know how long it will take me to do.

Old movie Robots/Cyborgs

I decided to look at robots from film to see if there were any which didn't use CGI for the character or did to see if any appealed to me to model. These are some images of robots through the years from 1983 to 1984 from films.

More Designs

These are some of the designs which i did i first started with the tutorials into how to draw proportionately and i looked at some CGI human models here is one which you can buy off a website.




I don't really like these designs so i decided to look at substitutes which i could model. This is really due to how i think it will be easier to model something already designed. But i feel like i will learn all the skills i need through this anyway.

Some of my designs

These are some of my initial designs, i really found it difficult to create something which i was actually happy with so decided to draw numerous heads to get an idea of what character id like to do.

Initial design Ideas

After looking at many different kinds of robots i decided i would just begin sketching and see what i came up with, shortly asfter this i remembered that my drawing skills were more than a bit rusty so i began by doing tutorials into the correct human proportions so i have a more realistic idea of scale. The tutorial i did was on video jug and consisted of measuring a line and dividing it into 8 for the proportions.
