INTRODUCTION
FINAL PROJECT
We need to create an original 3D robot design suitable for use in animation, games, or digital art. The robot should reflect of a human like two legs, two hands and so on. Drones design, machine design or like it will not be acceptable.
I want to make a humanoid robot for the military because I have been watching some videos about combat robots and I am very interested in this type of robot.

Since I didn't know how to make the robot head, I found a tutorial on the Internet and modified it.
Start by deforming the basic shape to build the general outline of the head.

Basic shape deformation + face deletion.

Use the Extrusion Tool to complete the Communicator.

Add the rib cage bones to define the approximate size and position of the body later on.

Use the polygon tool to create the chest.

Using the Soft Surface Tool, add shape to the chest.

Polygon Tool + Multi-Cut Tool + Extrude
 |
| Fig1.12 Process,Week 13 (19/07/2024) |
In order to unify the style with the lower body, I modified the body part and still used the extrude tool.

Abdomen bones, deformed using primitives.
 |
| Fig1.14 Process,Week 13 (19/07/2024) |
The shoulder joins the arm using primitives and merged vertices.
The arm is made in a way that is similar to the deformation of a gun barrel, reflecting the characteristics of a weapon-type robot.

Using the Polygon Tool and the Extrude Tool.
 |
| Fig1.17 Process,Week 13 (20/07/2024) |
Extrude the shape of the spear and select Vertex mode to adjust the shape.
 |
| Fig1.18 Process,Week 13 (20/07/2024) |
Extrude inward to form a barrel shape.
 |
| Fig1.19 Process,Week 13 (20/07/2024) |
To connect the two parts, I usually use the Merge Vertex Tool.
 |
| Fig1.20 Process,Week 14 (21/07/2024) |
This step starts to use more vertex tools, and vertex deformation is the focus of this hard surface model construction.
 |
| Fig1.21 Process,Week 14 (21/07/2024) |
Modify the shape by adjusting vertices.
 | |
|
Use vertices to adjust the position and extrude the shape in individual face mode.
 | |
|
The whole leg is still adjusted by the Extrude tool + Vertex mode, but at the beginning I did not use the basic shape deformation, but directly used the polygon tool, which would be faster for me.

SUBMISSION
REFLECTION
Experiences
For this project, I planned a humanoid robot utilizing Autodesk Maya.
The whole handle included collecting reference pictures, modeling, UV format, and organizing the venture for the ultimate introduction.
This was my to begin with time making a total robot show from scratch, and I realized the significance of each step from beginning conception to last introduction.
Observations
By alluding to pictures of robots outlined by numerous specialists, I was able to superior plan a convincing mechanical structure.
Employing a humanoid plan made it simpler to consider the robot's development and basic adjust.
Keeping up a clean topology (fundamentally utilizing quads) made the show simpler to oversee and arranged for future fixing and liveliness.
Although UV layout took some time, the subsequent material processing was clearer and of higher quality.

Findings
Planning ahead significantly reduced issues later. Starting with a structural sketch or form-building in Maya helps clarify the design direction.
Making a mood board helps me organize my thoughts and maintain consistency throughout the design.
Standardized file and object naming and clear resource categorization make the entire production process more efficient.
Properly exporting Playblast videos (in the required format and resolution) ensures a more professional presentation.
