Self Driving Car 2

 I like compact cars.  Even better when they are electric.  Someday maybe I won't have to car much about the driving part.

Superman Quad-Copters

 I think it would be neat to have quad-copters that can change their rotors for direct linear flight and allow the pilot ease of control with a super man view of their surroundings.  

Bar Tending Robot

 I completed this one years ago, but fell off the publishing horse.

Made while my daughter sang this song.

15 Sketch - Militant Goblin Bear

30 Minute Sketch - Birdhouse Development

Picked this project up again, partly due to some hassling by my neighbor.  I take it as positive focus making.  The intent here is to come up with a design made to attract bluebirds, maybe have space for two units, sit on a pole, and take advantage of 3D printing.  I wonder if I could design it to attract hawks instead, Maria hates the squirrels that invade our yard.

Donut Jar

It certainly isn't bad art with some forced meaning, but an idea for a money "jar" to collect funds for Friday donuts. :)  Next step, if I can retain interest, is to model it for FDM.

Cute and Menacing 2

In the entry before last I presented a Rhino model of a UGV tank.  Here I brought it back into Painter to add some more details.  Now I will go back into Rhino to fill in the original model.  The ultimate goal here is to print out a model with our Makerbot at work.  Upon further review, I think this design is a bit less cute then the first iteration.  At least the Google sticker helps retain some irony.

I got nothin' profound to say...it's a robot going for a hike in the Alps...trying to take a picture of himself.  Curiosity eat your heart out.

Cute and Menacing

Awhile ago I created this drawing on my Ipad.  I liked it's simplicity enough to bother committing the time to model it in Rhino.  Someday I might buy a Makerbot and print this out.  Here is a rendering that I created in Keyshot with that model.  I think I continue to play with this one, looks like it could use some more details.  Sensor clusters, damage cages, antenna, more lights, and a cargo pack might make this more fun.  Overall, the form is inspired from the anime stylings of Masamune Shirow's Tank Police.  If you haven't heard of Mr. Shirow, he's got some fun stuff, it was big inspiration for me when I was younger.  Careful if you Google him, a lot of the content is not safe for work
