Characters created from existing Turnarounds.

Hat Creature Models and Turnarounds.

These are the more advanced models and final textured models of the hat creature I began to make in my previous post. 

I added a glow to the eyes and a bump map to the block to give it a stone texture using a lambert texture and  fractal bump.

Final Model with reflective panels around.

Smart Robot Turnaround and Models.

I made this model based on a turn around of a robot I found online. I found the Turn around by typing in "Smart Robot", hence the name of the model.
I wanted to originally make a humanoid design keeping close to the original I found online but decided to make it more robotic towards the end.

I liked the idea of the eyes looking like headlights and ended up with them having a casing with a matching texture as some of the other parts of the model.
I also used a bump map and a reflective blinn to make the metal parts.

Thin Robot Turnarounds and Models.

This design is one of my least favorites out of the models I have created.
looking at the turnaround I hoped it would be an interesting model to make but I found it difficult conveying the expression of the original design into 3D.
This may be because the original design is very much orientated to be a 2D design and not to be relayed onto a 3D plane.

This is the original design I came up with when making the model based on the 2D turnarounds. The eyes and mouth look very out of place on the head I had made so I ended up getting rid of them completely and making my own face for the model.

After replacing the face with something that I felt was a bit more robotic I added a chest piece to add some detail to the model and also inserted edge loops so that I could smooth the chest and head. I like the head much more when it is smoothed as it gives a sleeker, less crude or jagged feel to the model.

For the final parts of texturing I used a blinn for the majority, making it reflective to make the metal parts and I also added a glow effect to the eyes and chest control panel to give it more of a typical 50's robot kind of feel.
