Robot

This project was my first attempt at creating a fully rigged 3D character. I wanted to make a folding robot that doesn't cheat the space and give it somewhat believable mechanics. This challenge helped me learn about rigging pistons that actually work, shading plastic, metal and an lcd looking screen. It also required a lot of planning for everything to fit together.

The Robot can fold and has an underlying structure, visible in certain situations
