I chose this robot because I have wanted to make a walking player, and this one shouldn't be too hard to articulate.There also seems to be a large enough pod area to make the player.

The legs are long though, he might have to transform lower to be in player mode, and tall only when he walks.Or just delete the bottom leg section entirely.


Maybe it should shoot and then step over a bleeding copy of winamp in the intro...

Seriously, if that were animated it would be amazing. Looks awesome to start with.

hey xone mate...
just a quick tip
Go and get BLENDER if u dont already have it (its free)
Make your animations..
Then use a screen recorder to capture your animations.. Save them as AVI...
Then use a AVI to GIF converter
i'm messing aroung with this little combo right now and its working a treat...

Why avi to gif? If I remember correctly, Photoshop can paste frames from avi's as individual layers... something I wish I knew back when I was experimenting with 3d.

Yes, I would try to avoid .gifs. But Photoshop can also be used w Jasc Animation shop, saving individual frames as .psds.

Although it's more time consuming, the frames are higher quality than .gifs.

with GIMPSHOP if u import a gif it shows all as layers then u just save it as a psd and extract the folder dont need to do frame by frame............

xion has avi support? omfg my world is shattered lol happy i found that out now

Photoshop has avi support (I'm 98% certain of that, and that it pastes frames as separate layers), Xion does not have avi support.

ahhh my bad still very handy info tho... cheers

I have been talking too much, hehe.I should be building these animations but I'm forcing myself to wait...

These different methods of workflow are all interesting in their own ways, and there are always other workflow paths I haven't learned or heard of, the more programs you have...

AVI conversion sounds intriguing, I will have to read up on it cause I'm automatically assuming the file sizes will be the largest yet, but I don't know that.
