The first phase of my robot.
For my final project I built a robot. It sort of resembles Optimus Prime. I first drew out what I wanted it to look like on paper and then I rendered it using quad strips, solid spheres, and cylinders. I created the chest area using two cubes made of two triangle fans each. This was to have a cool triangle look, but when I added in material properties for lighting the triangles wouldn't behave the way I wanted, so I made the chest all red. I'd say that rednering the robot took the most amount of time, whereas animating took much less. Usage: Arrow keys control viewpoint. Press "w" to toggle wireframe mode. Press "1" to toggle light. Press "R" or "r" to increase or decrease rate of movement (respectively). Press "F" or "f" to toggle freak out mode. Press "N" or "n" to toggle no no mode. Press "H" or "h" to toggle helicopter. mode. Press "J" or "j" to toggle jog mode.
