![]() ![]() original shaded silhouette I started in this last night. I wanted to make an walking steam-powered droid. It orginally had more than 3 legs but I thought it looked a little more old and "steam-powered" kind of like in the movie 'Wild Wild West" any tips? ![]() Edited by ryan-gfx |

The one front leg makes is not balanceable. It looks odd because of that. Also, to make it look steam powered, make some pipes and have them blast out smoke at moments of needed effort.

yeah I was gonna do the smoke idea. little puffs, cute. But it's
balanceable, or else it would fall over, and is it falling over?

The front leg drag looks a little weird to me. Unfortunately I'm zero help in suggesting an alternative. I'd love to see the steam too. |

So okay, I decided to take the animation a step further by shading the
top. I still have to shade the legs, as you can see below in the
looping animation:
![]() And THEN I decided to go all out and make a fun little retro gun pop out of it's skull like so: ![]() That took forever... seriously ;) so all I have left to do is shade the legs, combine the animation in, and AA everything :D Edited by ryan-gfx |

The way it pops out is fantastic. Nice little "snap" to it.

But you could shade the legs and the "downpart" of the body. Otherwise I say it's very cool! Keep the nice work up!

![]() Okay I finished but my stupid crap animation program makes motion trails. There's one on the big leg right after the gun closes, and one on the gun right after it pops back in. Could anyone erase this for me? My animation program wont let me :( Edited by ryan-gfx |

![]() Okay the reason the motion trails were happening was because it was transparent. So I made it have a background, if someone could make the green background transparent, that would be great :) |

Very smooth animation. :) I got the trail thing one time on my one animation. It bugs the heck out of me. Why does it do that???
