Cyber 3D Renderings and Tutorials
The long lost robot is here A long time ago, I wrote: Does anybody remember a Lightwave page with a faked radiosity render of an awesome Grendizer robot? It was somehow connected to a rendering hack. If you know about it, please send me the link! Well, today I found it. Only, it wasnt’ a Grendizer, it was a Wanzer. That’s why no one told me about it, I guess. Anyway today I found the...

The author decided to use bones instead of a joint hierarchy, and this is fine. I find using bones makes things easier for mechanical models as well, because sometimes you need soft mechanics, such as tubes and rubber joints, and this avoids any confusion when rigging...

I generally don’t like when CG is glamourized with blurred overlay filters (yeah, desaturated Terminator Salvation all the way!) but I must admit it fits properly in this video. Is it just me or the girl’s body briefly glimpsed at the beginning bears some resemblance to Megaman? Love the concept art...
