My ED 209 finished and rigged

Thought ED meant something else at first, was about to ban you for being a spambot ;)

nicely done mate. The rigging is cool, the animation in the vid is a bit stiff, but i guess that is expected :P

That is sweet. My inner pedant wishes it to be known that in the preview image weaponry is spelt wrong, but ignore him.

Google and my dictionary sez weaponry is the correct spelling. I'll shut up now, being pedantic is annoying.

Best ED-209 model I've ever seen.

Not only did you get the movie accuracy pinned down but the rigging was amazing.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone pay attention to the leg brakes and the fact that only one arm cannon has the rocket launcher or pay attention to the radar grill (the mouth) detail.

ED-209's always been my favorite Robot so seeing this was a great suprise, glad to see that you will be selling it on turbosquid, I'm sure someone will be purchasing it.

The model seems very strong.

If this is for a demo reel I'd highly suggest just showing off the model and some rigging, no animation. The animation is by far the weakest part of the video. Like a CV, you should focus on your strengths. I think the texturing or shaders could use some more love, too.

I like the overall presentation. It's something I'm not great at- trying to showcase my stuff. I love buildiing stuff but I hate making multimedia presentations about it... HATE.

The animation does look quirky and thats not because of my ability, but because of the rig and the joints (sliding joints included) it is VERY hard to animate

Well, even so, the animation you've shown uses none of the principles of animation and the timing is poor. If that is the rig's fault, then I guess "something i took months to put together is now finished with a HD solver bone rig and pivot points correctly placed to allow easy animation" fails. Maybe less IK in the rig is in order, especially in the hip joints.

That was Robocop 2, and they didn't feed the Nuke to the ED-209, they fed it to the Robocop replacement "Robocop 2" or "RoboCain" being it contained the brain of the villan of the movie who created the Nuke drug to begin with.

Yeah I'm a movie nerd.. :(

So you noticed the ED-209 reference in the copyright statement at the end of the credits to Robocop??

So does that mean that the 1000's of 3d models you can get like f-18 hornets, bmw's coke cans buildings of landmarks are copyrighted and not allowed to be made?

also i said the pivot point placing made the animating easier not the joints, which i am still tweaking
