Hi MtB
Your site rocks now! 
All is perfect
Except the 2 words “About” and “Resume” who are blured !!! :rolleyes:
Nobody is perfect

Thank you. You can read it…lol Though they are not blurred on my end…go figure. 
Hi, kind of late but I just now saw this post (I don’t often get into the Community Forum) Great Model & texturing! Can I pick your brains?? I have just discovered wings and am fooling around with it but so far I have found that the obj format won’t import into Zbrush, keep getting error messages. And if I render a model in Wings, I can’t save the render or export it anywhere. If you have any suggestions I would be greatful! Thanks!
File will not import due to N-gon. ZBrush doesnt like polys with more than 4 sides. You can, in wings, go to one of the menus (can’t remember right now) and select faces with 5 or more sides to help identify them. As fr the render, you can select the box next to the words openGL and click the dot next to render to file. Easy peasy.
BTW- ANOTHER color tweak…just fooling around.
Modeling update. Still need to fix the arm/shoulder junction. More tonight.
Thank you, and btw I really really like the texture finish you put on the last image. Are you importing textures to apply? If so what format do you use?
Thanks again.
Straight custom Materials/Shaders. No texturing at all. 
ALOT of tweaking and ALOT more still Just thought to give you all a taste.
More to come…I am TOTALLY in the mood.
A Render…
Colors are tentative.
Can i make a silly question?
Does wings work with nurbs too? or have u worked in some parts with hexagons? (adding more vertex in a single quad poly)
scuse me if im being dumb :o
Of course 
your work is terrific MTB!!!
Wings3D is an SDS (Sub-Division Surface) modeler. This is sort of a sub-set of polygonal modeling.
Hi MtB
Just for information
How many times for one final renderer of a “robot head” in C4D?
5,15,20 … minutes ?

Thanx Dan 
nAÄAx - Thank you. Yeah, Dan got it. Its a Sub-D modeler, also known as box modeling.
I can understand how it may look deceiving with a wire shot like this (which has a little addition to the modeling)
Most nurb programs display their mesh like this. With a closer look though, you can see its the actual mesh subdivided once with a smooth tag as well. It does look like isoparms though. Thought I would clear up the look of the wireshots.
Frenchy - It depends on alot of factors: how many nurb subdivisions I have the final render set to, how, many shadow maps I have and @ what size, how big I am rendering the image, how many reflection and shadow depth rays I have it set to, the AA levels. But, as an example, on my machine, it take about 35 to 45 minutes to render a 1280x1024 image with 2 shadow maps @ 500x500, aa set to best @ 1x1 min to 4x4 max, the nurb sub-d set to 4, ray depth @ 6 with a shadow depth @ 5, and levels of detail and accuracy set to 90%. This is for a high quality render. I could make a medium quality render that would take half the time.
Hope that helps…lol.
Okay, a little treat…I hope.
Here is an animation of the robo. Just a rotation but its fully rendered.
Enjoy!
Hi Mtb
Cool animation !
But carreful, it’s so polish than a burglar can see all your home on the robot
Thx for the elements of times that fix some things 
Have good modeling for the other half part robot!
(wheels, reactors, turbins, caterpilars, magnetic pilow, tyres…

OK MTB, I’ve got to say something. I’ve been trying to hold back any comments until I saw the final. I’ve been following this thread since the begining.
This is outstanding work! BEAUTIFUL! I love it when I see someone tweak something to perfection. That’s my style too
My two cents: Use the greenish color with that pearlescent specular. That was my favorite color. I thought it mingled VERY well with those awesome eyes.
I think we need to help you pick a final color, what do you think? It seem’s you may be having a hard time picking one. How many coats does he have now??
332 but with your Pearlescent Teal its 333 now…lol.
I will write up some detailed info about this Bot to explain. See, with the right budget, it can go from a utility bot to palace guard to police bot.
See the rounded extrusion on the shoulder? Those are actually covers to a docking area on the shoulder. This can be used to attach various accessories like search lights, cannons, links for towing…all kinds of stuff.
See the thin gray slab on the shoulder? This is one place where in can undock for additional accessories. The screws on the upper arm are for arm model changes. For example, the cop bot will have a service and utility arm where the shoulder dock is. It will be very thin and folds open and out. Arm change can be a weapon hand combo unit or straight artillery and don’t forget a light siren combo on the shoulders.
It is so shiny due to a revolution in amorphous liquid metal components bringing birth to LM78 or HD Vitreloy. It is formed like the antique process of plastic injection molding and comes off the press ready to assemble. Due to the properties of amorphous metals, HDV hardens to a flawless shine and already sharp (if need be). It is virtually indestructible due to the atomic makeup and lack of molecular crystallization which causes structural instability in standard metals.
Yes, I do have a life.
Its thin, light, and very inexpensive. This is just a small bit of this bad boy. As you can see I have ALOT of modeling to do still. Taking a break to come up with a history and purpose for something that started out as a mere doodle was really fun.
333? Well then. He used to be thin, light, and inexpensive!
You’ve really got it together MTB. I was looking at that sweet animation of it, and it took me back to some of the bots used in Star War Ep. 1 & 2. This is going to make an awesome piece in your portfolio, for sure! Are you planning on doing a full scale animation on it? That would be too cool, seeing those arms move around while it’s hovering down a city street.
QUOTE: “As you can see I have ALOT of modeling to do still.”
Well, I do see that. Plus I also see that you did this, along with thousands of revisions in a little over a month. You’ll have it done in no time at all, I’m sure.
BTW - I like the new antenna on the most recent model. The others looked so old-fassioned. The new one looks like a cellphone antenna. Very nice.
Highest praise on this one, MTB.

We want more!
Great robot, it looks so uncaring, like it would have no problem killing someone
