Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

There's a larger version on my website.
Don't be satisfied with what you can do but rather strive to do the things you can't do!

For the most part, you've captured believeability as well as having created a really nice model!
I suppose you could call it finished at this point, but you're already looking pretty good in the texturing department! Why not go all the way with it! A bit of rust, some oil/chemical stains, chipped paint, perhaps a logo or symbol of some sort...have at it!
I've created a couple of robots myself (see my thread here): https://forum.simplymaya.com/showthre...light=bonhomme
and while I modelled them with animation in mind (ie they're cartoony), I enjoyed the texturing phase immensly!
I encourage you to do another pass on your model!

First I'll have to learn how to use gimp. I downloaded and installed it but havn't tried to use it yet. I'll start learning the program so I can start applying much better textures. All I use right now is MS Paint. Therefore, it might be awhile before I can update the robot.
I checked out your robots. I remember seeing them when you posted the thread. They turned our really really great. I like them alot. Have you had a chance to animate them yet?

enjoy!
PS I hear you on texturing. I use Photoshop myself (most folks I know use Photoshop to at least some degree. Kurt here at SM, who does many of the tutorials, uses it almost exclusively). Haven't heard of Gimp but will check it out.
Keep up the good work!
