They both look great

But credit to the original designer- Ro-Jaws looks like a machine that we will  actually see in action one day

even sooner if someone animates one of these models!

[Steve Green]

Cheers,

Kevin O'Neill designs some great characters.

There should be an animation of him rolling about later today. (Ro-Jaws, that is - not Kevin)

The detail that I particularly love about Ro-Jaws' design is that the wheel struts are shaped to look like legs, so that it appears Ro-Jaws is just sitting atop his main wheel :-)

That looks grate McWild.


He looks realy poilshed.. Shouldn't he have more lived in look.

It's hard to tell fomr the comic, but I just assume that he doesn't always look that neat.

[Steve Green]

Yep, I've got to make him more of a rust-bucket, he is a sewer-droid after all.

Cheers,

Steve

OK, here he is rolling about (not great animation it has to be said)
The next thing is getting back to the modeling and texturing, I want to rig him up so he can have a bit of suspension in the legs, and maybe be able to turn his body slightly.

Also maybe rig the arms so they can extend as well.

Cheers,

Steve

I am gobsmacked by the briliance of that animation.  Get him together with Nemesis stat!  Surely some other freakish genius has a Grobbendonk they could bring to the party?

[johnnystress]

wow

speechless

[Steve Green]

Cheers,

I'm sure Nemesis will pop up soon...

Man you're good at this. How many hours work have you put into this ani?

Can his teeth 'nash'?

[johnnystress]

I want a remote control Ro-Jaws

NOW!

[Steve Green]

Hi,

the model's about a day and half I guess - the animation was nothing, about half an hour if that, and a couple of hours to render.

Yeah, his teeth can gnash - though I may have to do something creative because there's not much space for them to go.

Cheers,

Steve

IIRC he can also open the plate on his front to reveal a furnace inside- am I remembering that correctly?

[Steve Green]

Yep, it was used to store hot coals in 'The Gothic Empire'.

I've got a 2000AD Special Edition cover in front of me where the door is open and it's rubbish spilling out.

Anyway, the doors a separate object, so it could open if need be.

And there's this one-off where you see inside. Also he's got a number plate on the back in this one.

Cheers,
