Robotic Arm

[emel]

This arm was designed in Xara and all the profiles exported as *.AI to be merged in C4D. Then extruded. A bone strucuture was added (and this was more tricky than I could expect) to perform the animation. Xara is great to produce profiles/splines, but sometimes you need to increase the number of points defining that spline to get a really smooth object.

Cool!!!

Good work!

If you needs to enhance the number of points often, perhaps the following tip is useful for you:

How to easily increase the number of points of a Shape

1. Clone your Shape
2. Select both Shapes (the new one and the original)
3. Choose Menu "Arrange" -> "Combine Shapes" -> "Add Shapes"

Nice look and tech feel to this, very cool Emanuel

Cool tip remi, thanks for posting this

Very cool work, Emel.
Great 2d post render work. Adds greatly to the cool factor. Or is it really just an actual screengrab of the C4D workspace?

Thank you all for comments and sugestions. Remi, thanks for the tip.
Grafixman, it's just a grab with a Photoshop overlay of cel render over.

I like it. Interesting how you started with Xara first. I often find myself wishing I could do just that.

P.S. I like the chopper as well. Looking forward to the animation.
