Il robot
 
Click this picture for a larger version
Name: Bender Rodriguez n° 2716057
Pilot: Thinking robot
Material: Titanium 40%
Weapons: He can bend everything with his hands, nothing more!
Notes: Bender is one the the main characters of the Matt Groening's series Futurama.
Bender is bad, greedy, ruthless and funny.
He always drinks beer otherwise he begins to become rusty.
Well , we can say that he is the personification of the "politically incorrect".


 
Technical notes
 
Techniques: Nothing special to say
What lacks: I need an animation to move the black lines drew on his mouth so it seem he is talking.
My biggest problems: Nothing special now! I had a few problems with bones, IK, etc.

 
Expressions
 
I set up the model to change expression. I can control his eyes using only three nulls, one for the pupils, two to change the expression (evil, funny, surprise, etc.)

 
References
 
These are a few pictures I used as reference to model Bender. You can see the real shapes and colors of the robot..

Flexo n°3370318
Note: Except the beard, Flexo is identical to Bender but he is different in one thing... He is a good robot. It appears in few episodes of Futurama.
No one believe that he is honest.
