Quick-Fix - Badly Built Robot

During November 2021, I took part in a month-long Blender animation bootcamp run by Next Gen Skills Academy and BlueZoo - my responsibility for the first two weeks was building the Badly Built Robot character.

It was quite a challenging assignment, as I had to match the ramshackle nature of the robot as depicted in the animatic by Alun Edwards. I also had to build it with rigging in mind, as the robot had to be shown to fall apart and be rebuilt (incorrectly) by the fixer robots. I'm quite happy with the outcome, especially with the shaders and texturing.
