Blender Bender

Description

So who doesn't like futurama?

This is bender from the animated series and I thought Bender could do with some blending so here you go!

Free model on the house.

He has a spline rig, with extendable robotic arms, but no bones for the fingers.

This was made for a single pose :P

Also he was rendered using a current build of blender with freestyle if you want to get the cartoon look :)

Includes the node setup for cartoon rendering.

Enjoy!

NOTE: I am not associated in any way with futurama, I just felt like modelling bender in blender :D

Hi Guys, For the eyelids There I have used an IK constraint (I think it's on another bone layer) for the freestyle strokes, I don't think I uploaded it with the line styles :O You need a build that supports edge marks - yours does. The "Marks layer" Add a freestyle module using the parameter editor, checking select by visible and edge marks. for the freestyle layer, I used the python editor with Qi0.py module (might be in the text editor?) Hope that helps :) I also did a few tweaks in post processing where the lines didn't work quite right.

Hey guys, sorry if this is a newbie question, but what is "freestyle"? I assume it's a plugin or something for Blender? I'm specifically wanting more cartoony looks for my characters, so your comment got my attention =)

'Freestyle' is a specific module that has to be compiled in blender, You can get these builds from graphicall. If you want to learn how to use freestyle I have done a couple of tutorials on it at www.metalix.co.nz :) -Alex

I'm just new in Blender, my first step was design a cup, then a glass, then water and then a bottle with some fruit soda
