I started my project thinking about the basic tools Luis had given us, but I changed my mind and went a little further. At first, I thought it would be too pretentious to design something more complex for someone who had perhaps never worked with Blender before, but little by little, I became more comfortable with the program and became excited. I had previously worked with 3D Studio Max with really unrewarding results, perhaps due to its unintuitive interface. I'm not entirely happy with this work, but it may be the door that opens my hopes to continue with 3D modeling, and that's very good.
My project is about a robot _079, a species similar to the much more advanced robot number 5 from the movie Short Circuit. I started making sketches, and none of them convinced me, until I found one online that caught my eye. I'd like to name the creator, but I haven't been able to find it.
Empecé mi proyecto pensando en las herramientas básicas que nos daba Luis, pero cambie mi pensamiento y fui un poquito mas allá. Al principio, pensé que sería demasiado pretencioso diseñar algo mas complejo para una persona que quizá no había trabajado nunca con Blender, pero poco a poco me iba encontrando mas cómodo con el programa y me iba ilusionando. Venía de trabajar con 3D Studio Max con resultados realmente poco gratificantes, quizá por culpa de su interfaz poco intuitiva. Con este trabajo no es que este del todo contento, pero quizá sea la puerta que pueda abrir mi ilusión a seguir con el modelado 3D y eso es muy bueno.
Mi proyecto trata de un robot _079, una especie similar a numero 5 de la película cortocircuito mucho mas avanzado. Empecé haciendo bocetos y ninguno de todos me convencía, hasta que por internet encontré uno que me llamo la atención. Me gustaría nombrar al autor, pero no he podido encontrar su nombre.
Based on this concept, I began modeling my robot, encountering a multitude of problems, including how to generate too few polys in my model so my computer could drag it. Today, I probably wouldn't model even half of the parts as they are, but I don't want to touch them because it's my first model, and I like seeing the mistakes I made later. So, I started experimenting and got tangled up with UV mapping and textures in the node editor. Modeling wasn't enough, and I started hitting more walls.
A raíz de este concept empecé a modelar mi robot encontrando multitud de problemas, entre ellos ,como generar pocos polys en mi modelo para que mi ordenador pudiese arrastrar el modelo. Hoy por hoy quizá no modelaría ni la mitad de las partes de la forma que están hechas, pero no quiero tocarlas por ser mi primer modelo y me gusta luego ver los errores que cometí. Así que empecé a probar y me lié con las UV Mapping y las texturas en el editor de nodos. No tenía suficiente con el modelado, sino que empecé a darme contra mas muros.
Once I'd worked on the modeling, UVs, textures, etc., I dived right into the rigging to be able to animate it in the future. This possibility almost vanished in my mind when I saw how long it took to render the turnaround.
Una vez trabaje el modelado, la UV´s, texturas, etc... me metí de lleno en el rigging para poder animarlo en el futuro. Esta posibilidad casi se desvanece en mi cabeza al ver lo que tardó el render del turn around.
Finally, I exported the render in motion after 20 hours, an average of 18 minutes per frame. I also worked on a composition that would serve as the concept for a fictional film.
Ya para finalizar, exporte el render en mov. después de 20 horas, una media de 18 min. por frame. Y también trabaje una composición que me sirviese como concept de una película inventada.
After all this time working on the robot, I wanted to thank my professor, Luis Arizaga, for all his support. Thanks to him, I was able to complete this course. From the beginning, he was dedicated to providing me with all the possible references, tutorials, and advice that went beyond what is included in the course. Thank you so much for helping me and for your endless patience with so many questions and concerns.
All the best.
Después de todo este tiempo trabajando en el robot ,quería dar las gracias a mi profesor Luis Arizaga por todo su apoyo, gracias al profesor he podido terminar este curso. Se volcó desde un principio en poder darme todas las referencias posibles, tutoriales y consejos que van mas allá de los que aparecen en el curso. Muchísimas gracias por ayudarme y por tu paciencia infinita ante tantas preguntas y dudas.
Un saludo.

Very currado sir! You took the course very seriously and it shows that you have taken advantage of it. Congratulations on the great work. Being that applied and hardworking, it is not necessary to wish you luck, I am sure you will do great from now on with Blender or whatever you do. For any questions you know where I am. Of course I share this on social media for you to see :)
A greeting!
I have loved your work!
Excellent work!
Thank you very much glslobato and mauguino !!! Greetings for you both.
