This model comes out of a conversation I was having with a friend who was a digital matte painter. We were talking about great designers and chairs. It is a right of passage for both industrial designers as well as architects to design a chair. My friend was telling me that 3D artists have a similar right of passage. Only of a chair, it's a robot. So I set about making my own robot. As it happened at about the same time, I was browsing the net, and I came across a story about Fox redoing "Lost in Space" for TV. Only thing is the pilot was so bad, and production quality was even lower, that the whole thing was being sent back for a complete rework. There were still pictures of the new robot included in the article. It looked a little cheesy. The robot looked like something from an old Dr. Who episode. Don't get me wrong. I loved that stuff. It just was not up to today's standards. So when I began work on my robot, I had "Lost in Space" in my mind. What you see here is my attempt to make a new B-9 (That's the name of the robot on the show.) It is still in the rough and needs a lot of work. I was trying to give it the feel of the original as well as the robot found in the most recent movie. Not to sure if I was able to convey this look? This robot is still a WIP because I'm not very happy with how it's turning out. So feedback please. What does the group mind think? Maybe all I need to do is clean it up and put it into a scene sitting on a chair.
