I started it.

Posted: **Mon Mar 26, 2007 1:33 pm**

I always wanted to build all of the descent robots. And now, about a week ago, I started it.
Veeeeery slowly... But I still do it. Only one job is ready now, The ,,class 2 supervisor’’
I made it from wood. It’s almost 10 cm long, and it’s a 1:1 scale model (accoirdig to the screen). The eye is not perfect, but if I have time I will fix it. Probably...
Yes I know... Its not the best model of the world, But this is my first job, and this gonna be better, and better... Here are the pictures...

After, the Supervisor was ready, I started the medium lifter. It’s almost ready, but it’s not ,,textured’’. But I will finish it soon. Check out this two pictures:

The fit and finish isn't all that great; but you do have the skills to physically build it with it's geometry/etc. It looks like the medium you're using isn't too good. Find a medium that you're comfortable with and can make look really nice, and you will go far!

Suggestion: You said you used wood? It looks like the wood is covered with paper, colored with crayon. You should make it completely out of wood, sand it perfectly, then paint and clear coat it. I can see it now...awesome!

Yes, I covered it with paper, but I will do it next time with paint (which is more complicated and harder).

Pretty nice, but where's the 4th dimension?

Sorry, I wrote it wrong. I mean 3D! I push the wrong key!!!

Was always my fav

If you're making them out of wood, I think they deserve to be finished off with a good sanding and paint. You can do it!

you should get an airbrush kit and texture it with that.

they arent expensive, either. i got a small one for touchup jobs today for about $5.

Posted: **Mon Mar 26, 2007 8:11 pm**

I was about to curse you out for crappy 3D modelling and texturing, but then I realized it was wood, paper and paint, and not 3dsmax & photoshop.

In that case, good so far

Posted: **Tue Mar 27, 2007 12:33 pm**

I haven’t got any paint at home, and I didn’t wanted to buy it today, so I put it the lifter for a while, and I started an another bot, the Omega defense spawn. Actually, I started it for a long time ago, (before the supervisor, but it not finished yet.) so it’s textured with paper!

I will change the paper to paint!

Do you have the plans for the D3 Guidebot? That way I can make my own maybe..? I want one hanging above my computer so there's a source for my GB audio taunts when I play them

Posted: **Tue Mar 27, 2007 11:18 pm**

It's actually really funny to see these robots realized in 3D.

Nice work.

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2007 12:20 pm**

Sorry, but I make only Descent 1, 2 robot’s. (yet). The Descent 3 have a very difficult robot collection, not to mention the textures!!!

But the Descent 2 guide bot is almost the same, so if you want to, I will upload the plan, but I don’t know when...

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2007 2:39 pm**

And the D1/D2 robots are more like paper models, too.

Posted: **Wed Mar 28, 2007 3:01 pm**

Yay Guidebot!!!! I will name him George, and I will hug him and squeeze him and... you get the point. Fire over the plans, the fun part will be coloring him...her....it...

Posted: **Thu Mar 29, 2007 2:51 pm**

Here is your Guide bot plan. (If you can understand it.) I hope you will ,,enjoy’’ it. I not texured it, but It has color!

Posted: **Thu Mar 29, 2007 2:55 pm**

I STILL HAVEN’T GOT PAINT!!! And for that, I started an another bot. It’s time to start a big one, so I started the fire boss! It’s made of paper, but the right shooter is from wood.
(in the front of the boss, you can see the omega, and the lifter. Now you can see the size differences.) It’s really big, and heavy! It’s amost 52 cm wide. I think Im going crazy when I start it to paint!!!

Posted: **Thu Mar 29, 2007 2:59 pm**

And I put all the spikes to the Omega.

Posted: **Thu Mar 29, 2007 4:43 pm**

Yay! Guidebot! *Prints out*

Posted: **Sat Mar 31, 2007 12:45 pm**

The paint is harder than I thought, so I stayed on the paper texture. Actually, it's more beautiest like the paint (If I make it good), because its 99.9% same. Yes, on the supervisor, the texture is bad. ((((first job))))

Posted: **Sat Mar 31, 2007 2:12 pm**

Is that Guidebot meant ot be print out on multiple sheets? or just one? It seems to me that he'll end up being rather small...

Posted: **Sat Mar 31, 2007 3:13 pm**

It's just one sheet. Yes it's a little small, BUT IS STILL A GUDE BOT!!! Could you do it yet?

Posted: **Sat Mar 31, 2007 4:01 pm**

a 'gude\" bot???

Posted: **Sun Apr 01, 2007 2:47 am**

SORRY!!! GUIDE GUIDE GUIDE GUIDE GUIDE GUIDE!!!

Posted: **Sun Apr 01, 2007 4:23 pm**

Grr... could i get a pic of the back side of it..? I cant' figure out how to get the main pieces together.

wow vaguely familiar but on a low poly level

Posted: **Sun Apr 01, 2007 7:54 pm**

Heh, but you never made me my BP, didn't make a GB either....

I Think I know what's your problem. I changed the color in the ''back,,. The red color is on the other piece. I think now you know how to make it. But here is a picture. (Now you see the wrong color. You can change the color easyli in photoshop or paint). SORRY... It was my fault.

And can I have a question? Why do you like the GB sooooooooo much?

Posted: **Sun Apr 08, 2007 3:50 am**

It's almost ready...

Posted: **Tue Apr 17, 2007 2:10 pm**

Does anyone know where I can find a website, Where I can download the robot eyes or something in hi-res quality? I dont want to make it in photoshop!!!

Posted: **Tue Apr 17, 2007 6:57 pm**

I don't think they exist in hi-res. Nothing is in hi-res for any of the descents until they are indeed created. :\\ There are a couple of folks in the community that are making new hi-res textures.
One is working with the D2x_XL project and there is Novacron on the PD BB that has been making some as time allows.

Posted: **Wed Apr 18, 2007 1:46 pm**

Awww... Im too tired to finish and fix the mistakes on this bot!!! (maybe a few days later.) the extra parts ((((bump mapped)))) are very difficult, BUT It'S STILL MORE COOLER THAN THE IN-GAME BOT!!!

Bump mapped eye...

...bump mapped side.

(Comments would be nice.)

Posted: **Fri Apr 20, 2007 11:33 pm**

Really Nice work here. I am impressed. Are you intending on sharing the plans?

I would like to mirror all this fine work on KoolBear.com.

Grendel yours too

OOP's that was Hans de Vries RC Pyro I was talking about.

Neat! Very nice work, dude.

Just a hint for the fire boss (and other bots): The missile ports are round. If you make the models from wood, you could use a circular saw for that. From paper or card board, you could use a circle with two metal tips.
