19.11.2018 Vendo intitial 3D model

The first character that i have modelled is Vendo, the Robotic vending machine. When modelling Vendo i made a large change to the design of the model. In the initial sketch, i intended to give him  rocket boosters that made him hover. Instead i have given him four legs and will walk rather than hover. However a problem that i may have with Vendo having limbs is that the legs may not look metallic when animated. This means that i may have to not give Vendo a skeleton and rather animate the legs without a skeleton.

While i am happy with the initial model, i think that a few things could be changed and will be changed in the future. One of these is that the legs and feet are too square and i think that they would look better if they were more cylyndrical. This change would also fix the issue of the model not having a skeleton due to the how the legs would look with a skeleton.

The insides of Vendo and all of the "products" are shown below. The textures for Vendo and the objects inside were made in photoshop and were applied using UV maps.
