XMAS2006 - Treleth - Forasaken Traditions

[treleth]

First off, belated congrats to all the winenrs of the last contest , now on to the good stuff. I probably won't be able to completely finish this, but no harm in trying.

The backstory is, in the future, there are no holdidays celebrated around this time, as humanity has dropped religion due to all the wars and violence it has caused in the past. A robot stumbles across a reference to something called a christmas tree, and tries to revive the tradition.

Basically I'll have a tree, and a robot reaching up to put an bauble on. It will all be inside, and there will be two large windows behing the robot showing a stark cityscape.

Below is the planter for the tree

EDIT: I've just noticed the cylinder below the right spike is off, ignore it for now.

Update, started working on the room, next are the buildings outside.

Ok, added glass and the far wall, need to smoothe some edges and get rid of the noticable reflection.

This is cool so far. I like the premise and the modeling is top-notch.

Thanks , added the tree. My reasoning is, in the future, trees have been genetically modified, so I made the tree look alien, but still recognizable.

ok, update, added exterior, since I'm running out of time, I just stuffed some clouds outside. Making the robot now, then I have to texture .

[treleth]

ok, this is probably the last update until my final submission. This is the best time to get your suggestions in.

There ain't much of the robot to see soo far, but he look's cute.

What I would like to point out though are those sharp edges on the structure. Chamfer those a little. I guess it'll help.

other way, nice idea and modelling.
