It looks a LOT stronger then the arms :)

You're doing fine.

OK, today just the hip joint and a view holes, but I'va played a little with the
texture. Its a blurred reflection with a projection overlay in mc-pov.

Looks like this:

//###########################
texture{pigment{color rgb 0}
finish{reflection {0,1} montecarlo{mc_reflect{1 1 1 750}}}}
texture{pigment{
projection{object{M}normal on blur .1,1}
color_map{
[0 color rgbt <0,0,0,1>]
[1 color rgbt 0]
}}
finish{ambient 0 reflection 0}
}
//##########################

object{M} in the second layer is the collection of all objects in the scene.

The daily update. Ok, I cheated - the lower leg is a copy of the upper one but I
think it looks nice.
The problem is, the I have a few nice ideas for the foot and I like to start
with it. If I'm getting bored by the lower leg I'll change it, but in the moment
it seams to be OK for me.

OK, there is no connection between the leg and the food. The problem is, that my
CAD-program becomes more and more problems to show all triangles of the surfaces
- its to much... I was not able to see the result on the CAD-side.

So the rendering was a little surprise for me too. I have to isolate the
geometry and bring it together, when everything is made.

I guess that I have other surprises then...

Anyway - I'll finish the food today and try to finish the whole character over
the weekend.

Can't wait to animate it ;)

If I may give one little piece of advice: The foot seems to short to me. 
Considering the bulk of the complete robot, it needs larger feet in order to 
remain stable and move easily. Of course, the robot probably has gyroscopes 
inside, but to look credible those feet need a larger scale imo.

You're maybe right. When I put all things together, I should test it and rescale
the foot if necessary.

Thanx :)

Here the hydraulics version.

Hi Holger,
	It is looking better and better :) but do you really need 5 toes in the 
foot? I think 3 would do for stability if the end of the lower leg acted 
as a heal. And it would move it up the unnatural valley IMO.
