Hi all:
Just another "cannot resist to model it"...
I always wanted to do a toy robot, but never found the inspiration to
start. Casually, some days ago I found a picture of this Lilliput robot
while doing an image search, and I loved its simplicity and elegance, so I
did a virtual replica with Wings3D in some hours.
It's still a WIP: the paint job is unfinished, and I want to make it to
look more ancient, but that is going to require some learning about UV
unwrapping.
Regards,
--

For me it is already beautiful.

Wow, this is a beauty.
Right now, his body looks a bit like cardboard (instead of metal?)

Nice work. Some dirt, scratch and rust and it will look old enough. Also, some
bit of blured reflection on the outside of the "hands".

Yes, my impression too... I added a bit more of reflection, but it still
looks like reflective cardboard. :)

No, just radiosity artifacts due to low quality settings: they disappear
with higher quality.

Done. Finally I didn't bother to learn how to unwrap the mesh properly for
UV painting, so I just did a material_map to add the rust. It then has
abrupt changes on non-contiguous uv maps, but it's hardly noticeable.
> Also, some bit of blured reflection on the outside of the "hands".
Now that you mention it, blurred reflections would be a nice addition, as
the scene is really fast to render and is asking for some extra features.

Beautiful image and good rust. Lighting is also great.
Waiting to see the next version.

I do not think so, maybe some 'real' dents would be nice -
as it seems the little guy might have had some exiting adventures during
his lifetime.

You know, I've been trying to do some uv unwrapping on a complex model also, and
after finally figuring out what causes the "failed to export" plugin issue (not
placing every face in the model on the UV chart), I shot myself in the foot by
upgrading to 0.99.04 from 0.98.28 while halfway through the model. So... a
word of warning: finish the modeling process before upgrading!
Anyway, I've since realized that uv mapping in wings still has some issues when
it comes to Pov exporting, and I will probably try to partially avoid it, since
the model can be correctly textured using some of the image_map features
directly in POV-ray, if the textures for the object are selected correctly
(that is, marking which areas in wings that will receive which image_map in
povray).
Good luck!
-Reactor
P.S. Seeing the rusty version was actually kind of sad. However, I noticed that
the arms are still positioned as though the robot were walking. Are they part
of the model that way, or are they cut for animation? I keep meaning to write
a wiki article on using marker lights in wings so you can animate your models,
but I never get around to it...

Last update for the moment... until I find some interesting situation for a
real scene with it.
The dents where done in Wings3d, using the random point selection to select
10% of the points, then moving them along the normal: one time to the inside
and another to the outside. Both pics use the same technique, but 9c has
more depth on the dents.

I'm already on 0.99.04, but thanks for the tips...

You can also use Poseray... it does a better job, specially on how it
handles the textures, but in general you have much more control on the
exported code.

Then better don't look at the new version... :)

No, I didn't think at all about animating it, but in this case it will be
very easy to animate it in POV-Ray, just exporting the arms as a separate
mesh and using some simple transformations.

Now I don't know what you're talking about... marker lights? You mean
placing lights to use the points later, or something like that?

Very nice job, as usual, Jaime! I really like the dents, chipped paint, and
heavy rust, as well as the great (I'm assuming) proceduralized textures.
I'd maybe add a big dent in one or more corner(s) of the head box where some
careless child has dropped him many times (as they tend to do, especially when
battling Jedi knights or clone troopers or Klingons or...)
Cheers,
Rob :)

It looks like an honest-to-goodness photo. Just perfect.
IMO, the family dog just dug it up in the backyard; it was lost in the bushes
decades ago by mistake, and sadly forgotten by its young owner. Now, as an
older adult, the owner cherishes it for the wonderful memories it evokes. (And
he gave his dog a nice meaty bone as a reward for finding it!)

Sorry, yes, using lights and the 'position highlight' command to mark points of
rotation. For a very simple model, one can often align the axis of rotation
with one of the cardinal axes and export that way, but for a very complex
object or an object that will incorporate POV-ray primitives, it can be very
helpful to know where a given point or shape is.
As Wings doesn't have a way to export a point or line primitive, I tend to use
light sources.

Ah... clever! I also wanted sometimes to export points (not for animation,
but to place other objects on the surface), but never figured out this
one... thanks!

Thanks, but in this case I didn't use any procedural pattern, so I don't
know if that counts as proceduralizing... ;) ...I just used the material map
feature to mix the uv maps with a photo of rusted metal, something like:
texture{
uv_mapping
material_map{
png "rust_map" // b&w (2 indexes) image generated from the one below
texture{pigment{image_map{jpeg "any_rust_photo.jpg"}}}
texture{pigment{image_map{png "uv_map.png"}}}
}
}

I think I prefer Kenneth story on the post bellow: it doesn't involves any
further damage to the poor little robot... :)

Beautiful story... thanks for coming up with such nice explanation for the
excess of rust and lack of real damage. :)
