Whilst designing the robot i decided to try and make some other robots from across films/tvshows. I first decided to model r2d2 from star wars. This was a much simpler endeavour than i first envisioned as all it required was a few polygons and lots of extruding. It worked out really well i think and the gold colour was the transformation from R2 to OG-D2.
I also decided to model Bender from Futurama as a bit more of a challenge, it turned out to be as much of a challenge is id thought. Turning a primarily 2d character into a 3d one poses some aesthetic issues as we are not used to seeing Bender this way. The head was the hardest due to the visor and mouth. but after a lot of tweaking and moving vertices.
I used a shiny texture initially but it didn't look as good as when i tried a matte finish. Most likely because he doesn't have a shiny skin in the programme. Which makes me realise that the finish on a colour whether it be shiny, matte, glossy, pearlescent etc it makes a big difference to the final look of the model
