Hi all I'm after some advice/opinions on these few images of some modeling I'm doing....(in between crashes!) and would like some comments to help in the design of a levitating robot. (I know its been done to death, but its fun and I'm learning! ;)) There are two arms that i have in progress and a third to make with the main body. This is in total Bryce and for once, I'm really having fun exploring Bryce rather than just making an image to upload, if you know what I mean.. There are 5 images, the first 4 are of one arm and a jiont image with both i have made so far. Thanks for your time and in hope of assistance. Marc

Robots are difficult for me so hats off to you. Looks good considering all bryce work. The biggest thing about doing it all bryce is that the edges are always very hard. But sometimes that looks cool too.

The wit of a misplaced ex-patriot.
I cheated on my metaphysics exam by looking into the soul of the person next to me.

@ Dann-o This is one thing i have found but, as you have said, hard edged lines can make it look like its been made to just do certain jobs........rounded edges makes me feel the robot would be used more for domestic jobs for humans....not so overpowering and gentler........still need to be a mechanic to think how parts work making these things to look anything decent!.....I shall play around and see what develops. Thanks for your comments. its appreciated.


Smile, your dead a long time :)
