Tag As FavoriteComment		In case anyone's been wondering what I've been up to the last couple of years, here's a little preview of what I've been spending my college tuition on. His name is Blinker and he is not just another big robot, he actually has an alien brain inside of his chest. His spaceship crashed to Earth about 30 years ago and he was discovered by a scientist who was affiliated with the US government. The scientist (Dr. Gneise) hid the badly-injured alien from the FBI, CIA, etc. and eventually built this giant robotic body which also serves as a life-support system for the alien. The robot model was built in Maya 6.0 and rendered out in mental ray using global illumination and final gather (with an HDRI lighting rig and a key light for the raytraced shadows). He's a fully rigged CG character and (as usual) he's still a work in progress. I spent last semester building the model out of Subdivided Polygons, rigging the character and making a 1:45 minute test movie to see what areas I need to work on next. This semester I will work on more detailed texturing to give him more of a banged up and scuffed metallic look.

Very, very cool, Nathan. Would love to see a finished product. Or even your test movie, if you could find a place to host it. 2
