hi
I started modelling some stuff in houdini. Whit some expressions I managed to to create a somewhat dragon-like robot.
the special thing is that I can now just some parameters to get differnt looking robots:



here I created a serie of robots by just tweaking some exposed parameters:




I can post the network view if somebody wants?
It's great to so how setting put some expression inside your network can make it so felxible.

Nice. I like the renderings too.

Congratulations, excellent project!

Dragos

Really really nice.

Great job!

archform

thank you for the good feedback.

Like it! Nice job!

great work, and also your offer would be very cool to see how you done ot

very curious piece of art

can you make a test with SSS. I think this would would look really cool. In yellow

hi there you mentioned this in yout post

"I can post the network view if somebody wants"

it would be very interesting to see how this was made

cheers

here is a pic of the network:

but I think that won't help

basically I started whit a curve and a sweep


used a lot of carve sops and copy sops for the shell arm and so on:


I mirrored the one side to the other an attached my tentakle asset via the points expression:


since the base was a nurbs I can use the carve again to copy serveral objects onto the surface:


for the arm end legs I used open circle sops and combined them again whit the point expression to stay togehter


I hope that helps alitte... theres alot more to it but that would take allday maybe
thanks to all for their nice response

sorry about the confusion.

I thaught you where going to upload the hip,

not make a big tutorial , but it is okay , some people. may learn by having the actual project and break it down, so maybe they can make something like this, The know how is important, But i guess this is your master peace and it is for you. I can understand this aswell dont worry

the explanation is great.

good work.

have you considered printing these out?

No, not really. I did them just for fun nothing professional.
But I am very found of 3Dprinting.

Joining this thread a bit late... but missed it before. Just wanted to say really excellent work. Good job. Really shows off Houdini procedural modelling well and beautiful renderings.

Add me to the fashionably late list too - it's original, and it's good (these two qualities aren't often shared, despite what many who prefer the unbeaten path would have us believe). Really excellent work, keep it up.

heh, now i feel pressured to say "good job 2 "

looks really cool!!!

hey it looks pretty cool
I liked the style of the robots.
nice renders as well

Very nice! I like the design a lot and the fact that you can easily create lots of variation!
