Stands for remotely operated maintenance robot...but that's not 
important.  It's a little exercise on modeling and textures.  I still 
don't think I captured that gleam in the "eyes"...  Comments good or 
otherwise appreciated.

If you didn't then you at least made them obvious  :-)
This sort of black and white image with only the blue standing out makes for a
different look.
Is there anything behind the blue orbs?  If not maybe it could help to have
something pupil- or iris-like there.  Not eyes I guess, just something there.

Did you get the idea from a star trek next generation episode? they had
robots for the same purpose.

All that gray with just a little blue adds an interesting touch.
(Hmm, looks like my NS window... hehe)

Sorry if I asked this before, but what do you use to post? (it was HTML)

appreciated. -Chris- [clipped image]

Nope, strictly coincidental.  In fact, I'm somewhat a trekkie and I have no
idea what your talking about...

Again, no.  Strictly coincidental.

Well,  I had to have some distinguishing mark "labeled" the front of the
bot.  I was going for an H.E. Day'ish glowing media effect in the eyes, but
it turned out looking more like a jellybean/marble.  Still, not bad for my
first try at hand-coded media.  Hmmm...something pupil-like, interesting.

MS Outlook Express, with Rich HTML...did that cause a problem in the post?
It looks ok from this end...

BTW, if I had rendered at a higher resolution, you'd might actually see some
red ;)  So are you insinuating the need for more color or contrast?
